february beauty make up skincare favorites

Hello ! Time for another monthly faves, like what I said on last month post, I try to be content on posting favorites once a month. As for myself,It's a part of learning to be more organized and grateful more.For you as reader, maybe you can get some insight about what made me decided to buy certain items plus telling you quick review about my newest- recommended picks. Let's start, February 2017 Favorites 💖

💙 The FaceShop Real Nature Facial Mask 💙

For more than 2 years, I've been using facial mask regularly from different brands (both Japanese and Korean) and so far, my favorites is from The FaceShop. Any kind of their mask successfully revitalize my skin.These two are absolutely budget friendly too.On top of that, these two is formulated without added parabens.

💙 Too Faced Chocolate Chip Bar Matte Edition 💙

My heart was literally scream when Too Faced released this limited mini edition of Chocolate Bar Eye shadow Palette. I planned to buy Too Faced Bons Bons but I kinda hesitated to throw lot's of bucks over a product that I'm not really familiar with.At least, with this Mini Version ,I can test whether I'll invest on their normal size eye shadow bar or not.And now,my answer is... Yes! I'll write about full review and swatches soon,maybe next month 😉

teh faceshop haul cc cushion ultra moist review

💙 The FaceShop CC ULtra Moist Cushion V201 💙

My first CC Cushion, I bought the refill tho because I still can use my old OCWC case and it comes with a cushion puff too..I liked it better than the OCWC because it literally has a smooth natural glowing finish that can last for day with medium coverage!

fkate tokyo japan foundation concealer best haul

💙 Kate Tokyo Powderless Liquid Foundation & Stick Concealer 💙

My fave Japanese liquid foundation all time, that's why I bought the stick concealer too and it works awesome ! I like how the concealer is a stick type just like a lipstick and not runny at all but creamy, if you feel like it's way too creamy just add some water on your brush and apply lightly in patting motion. Both are so light and economical too so it's perfect for travel ,make them easy to toss inside make up pouch.

💙 Flormar Nail Polish Enamel💙

Flormar just opened their first store in my city and I just grab one because why not, the price is reasonable and super pigmented and dry quickly too.I'm in the mood of pink especially a soft of barbie pink so this nail polish kinda boost my mood throughout this month of love !

last but not least,
It's not beauty related tho, but it's one of the highlight of the month..

I just got a Chihuahua !

After debating myself for years to pet or not, I finally get this cutie apple head chihuahua 😁💕 say hello, her name is チワ // short term of 'chihuahua' because I can't think any and that name just pop out on my head when I see it wagging its tails at the first time meet.It's quite shy but so playful and loves snuggle, move a lot so kinda hard captured it directly looking at my camera, hahaha.

[TRAVEL] A WEEK IN TOKYO : DAY 1 - SHIBUYA & SHINJUKU 東京旅行：渋谷＆新宿

Hello ladies ! I almost forgot to post about this special travel experience . Why I call it special? So , maybe some of you already know, I have visited Japan back in 2015 with the help of tour company,and last year i came back to this amazing land of rising sun country BY MYSELF (with my sisters too) what I actually mean is, without joining tour and travel companion. We buy the ticket, book the hotel, plan the schedule and all by the help of internet and tips from some relatives.

Actually I can't believe that i can make it, I always wanted to explore the country especially Tokyo alone, as it on my 2016 wish list too and Thank God we made it happen last summer!

So the Tokyo bound start from May 26th till June 2nd.We arrived at Haneda from a long haul flight at 9 pm , and with the help of a friend, we made it to our hotel that located in Aomono Yokocho (the hotel has a room with 3 beds which is perfect for us). After checked in and unpacked we call it a day because it is not possible stroll at midnight.Jumping on the second day, where we wander around Shibuya then Shinjuku..

Always take JR Hachiko exit, the only familiar exit that takes to Shibuya crossing and more

shibuya crossing japan shopping travel experience

Shibuya 109 always be my no.1 stop when it comes to Japanese fashion shopping.

I love how they always catch up on current trends, and versatile

Posing by my fave Japanese handbag brand , Samantha Vega 💓

Ariana Grande - Dangerous Women official store just open 😍

After spending more than 3 hours inside 109, we moved to LOFT where all the cute stationery items available, PARCO ,H&M, Matsumoto Kiyoshi, Donquijote and some local shops

Then.. for lunch , I had a set of lunch ; Oyakodon and miso soup for only around 600 yen including free refill ocha tea for drink. I forgot the restaurant name tho ,but it's underground beside Superwan Petshop.

Continuing to Shinjuku area, We who already loaded with bunch of shopping bags felt tired already but yet we still continue so that our days wont be a waste lol. Took the Lumine 2 Exit and head to the street,

Ainz Tulpe,a cosmetic dept store , almost like bigger version of Matsumoto Kiyoshi

It was my first time explore Shinjuku area,and unlike Shibuya, the area are much larger. where each shop is located kind of far to one and another, you might bit confused l (just ike me) . I suggest to just taking a casual stroll there , follow where are the crowd heading to . #TIP : always bring a MAP especially certain map area (Shinjuku Map), or at least download one before you know what certain shop you want to pay a visit in Shinjuku.At the end of the day, I just end my night at H&M :D

If you curious which area i would prefer, Still ,it's Shibuya for me to shopping and Shinjuku for eating and killing times.I will talk more about part 2 on the upcoming post. Stay tune!
