Another lip product review all the way from Korea (again) - SELF BEAUTY, with its colorful-contemporary trademark design that is very captivating my attention and their fancy lip tint, Glam Up Moisturizing Glow Up Tint that claims it's the combination between lip tint + lip gloss + lipstick. I understand some of you might not know about this brand yet since it's quite new compared to others, however Korean brands almost never fail when it comes to lip tint though, so why don't you just keep reading the review until the end ? Probably you'll love it :)

What it is :

A lip tint infused with moisturizing ingredients that glides stained the lips. It has smooth-hydrating glide ability with non-sticky; elegant shine finish, long lasting, contains lip care ingredient, and comes with super trendy vibrant colors.

Consists of 5 shades :

01-Cherry Tomato

02- Tangerin Tango

03-Strawberry Ice

04-Marsala

05-Crimson

 Wiped with tissue

Torture Test - After 6 hours with drinking & eating

PACKAGING :

Black rectangle-shaped lip tint that comes with fancy paper box and safely sealed. It has heart shaped doe foot applicator with precise size. However, compared to the applicator size, the hole of this lip tint tube is quite too small so extra effort is needed while opening the tube. All of the description and direction are written in Korean.

TEXTURE :

Light, watery-slight creamy texture with high pigmentation colors and sweet candy scent.

RESULT :

Since first time application, this lip tint glides smoothly on my lips, one swipe to cover whole lips. The applicator is also soft enough to deliver the product perfectly. Although it needs several while for the product to completely set on the lips, all shades are highly pigmented, especially the most vibrant ones : Cherry Tomato and Crimson. I tell you so because when I tried to remove the lip tint with oil makeup remover, it still stains on my lips, it starts to faded after I rubbed it with lip scrub. Honestly, I can't really feel the hydrating/moisturizing effect of this lip tint because it still makes my lips dry ( fyi, I have super dry lips ), but I like the fresh, healthy-looking, glossy result that gives plump lips effect. This lip tint also has decent staying power. It can stay up to 6 hours with drinking and eating, but only on the inner lips. One thing I just notice about this lip tint : all the shades are only suit for bright skin people.

PROS :

- Fancy packaging design

- Safely sealed

- Soft doe foot applicator

- One swipe to cover whole lips

- Ultra pigmented color

- Fresh, healthy-looking, glossy result

- Decent staying power

CONS :

- Makes my lips dry

- Need extra effort to cleanse the product, even with oil makeup remover

- Only suit for bright skin people

Among all the shades, my favorite shade is 03-Strawberry Ice that has peach with hint of pink tone because it suits my skin tone and doesn't look as vibrant as Cherry Tomato and Crimson. I can summarize that this Glam Up Tint is good enough for everyday makeup or Korean makeup look because you can achieve fresh, healthy-looking finish, just please take note to use lip balm before applying this product especially for dry lips survivor like me.

Introducing you to beauty care brand based in Indonesia that you might need at the moment, LACOCO - a brand that provides beauty care products formulated with best natural ingredients. I personally know this brand from Clozette and what makes me curious is obviously because of the luxury packaging, plus they use watermelon as their main ingredient for the sleeping mask which is so unique. Well, I am pretty sure it's not just me who wants to know more about them, so let's just get a deeper look into these products !




1. WATERMELON GLOW MASK

An intensive moisture sleeping mask that purifies with watermelon, seaweed, and banana through the night, to leave skin clear, radiance, and revitalized in the next morning. Watermelon provides vitamin A and has higher water content while banana contains potassium which promotes brightening effect for the skin. It claims that it suits for any skin type.

How to use :
Apply after night skincare evenly and let it sit overnight without washing. Rinse with lukewarm water in the morning.

My Review :
I've been using this sleeping mask routinely and since the first time I used this product, I can feel that this mask works like magic for my skin! It feels like every time I woke up It has light-gel texture with slight watermelon scent that I really adore. It has cooling sensation and quickly absorbs into skin although at first it feels slightly sticky but then it's gone after seconds. As you can see from the Before-After photo above, my skin used to look pale and got some blemishes around mouth area but after using this mask several times ( every two days ) my skin got brighten up a bit, moist, and blemishes are reduced. Do you spot that glow also ?

2. COS-VIE WOMAN HYGIENE TREATMENT ESSENCE





What it is :
Cos-Vie Woman Hygiene Treatment Essence contains lactic acid and manjakani. Lactic acid used for maintaining pH balance while manjakani is good as antiseptic that can overcome and prevent vaginal discharge and itching. Manjakani is also able to tighten muscle walls of the female area. Moreover, it also contains Babassu oil as anti-fungal, aloe vera, and sakura extract.

How to use :
Pour 4-5 pumps onto palm, then apply to the outside area of female area, wait until it completely absorbs. No need to rinse.

My Review :
One major thing that makes me tempted to try this product is all because of the luxury gold metal tube with pump form. At first, it's quite hard to pump the product out so I need a little extra effort to keep pumping the tube, lol. Well, this essence has ligh-watery texture, soft-pleasant floral scent, and not feeling sticky at all when it applied. Fyi, I almost never had any problem about feminine area, so I just can feel that this product cleanse well and easily absorbs into skin. It also eliminates unpleasant smell around feminine area, especially during monthly period. However, for a 50mL size, it's considered as pricey for me.

- Luxury packaging
- Cleanse well

- Quickly absorbs into skin
- Doesn't feeling sticky
- Eliminates unpleasant smell

CONS :
- Hard to pump
- Quite pricey

As Indonesian, I am so proud that recently there are so many local beauty brands that produce high-quality products, even better than international brand - and LACOCO is one of them ( find all the products they have here ). Their glow mask is seriously amazed me and I will definitely use it as my daily routine skin care.

Since the first time I saw this new Korean brand cushion at CHARIS page, I fell in love immediately because of the attractive case ( and I bet you'll like it too ). This Silk Tension Cover Pact from Lapalette Beauty comes in 2 luxury case designs that inspired by London style : Golden Night Buckingham and Original White Horse. After a long thought, I decided to get mine in Original White Horse and I am totally satisfied with my decision. However, does this cushion works as wonderful as the packaging design ? Well, let's take a deeper discussion about this product, kindly keep scrolling :)

What it is :

A new concept of cushion pact with the secret recipe of cover found in a concealer and spider silk protein's moisture and elasticity to fill skin, making the skin moisturized and smooth naturally. It contains spider silk protein essence to maintain moisture, elasticity, and smoothness, High-RI Oil Complex to brighten up skin and gives glossy look. 

Consists of 2 shades :

No.21 - Light Beige (Pink Tone) and No.23 - Medium Beige (Beige Tone)

PACKAGING :

Luxury, well-designed cushion with unique spider web stamps on the sponge and soft, elastic big drop puff that made from neoprene fabric, and mirror. Cushion is safely sealed with paper seal and it comes with glossy silver paper box - ingredients and direction are written in Korean.

TEXTURE :

Creamy, dense texture with soft, rich fragrance.

RESULT :

Since they have 2 shades only, I was quite confused when I have to decide which color suits me the best. I usually wear shade 21 ( Light Beige ) whenever I purchase cushion but this time the option 21 is for pink tone skin while my skin is warm tone. However, I still go with this shade and wondering how it turns out on my skin - and as you can see from the picture above, I almost look like a ghost indeed. The color looks too pink for my warm tone skin, but the good sides are; it blends into skin easily and only needs a few to cover whole face, skin feels super smooth with great coverage ( it can cover redness and pimples very well! ) so I don't need to put concealer anymore. It has dewy, glowing finish and can stay for around 6 hours before my face starts to oily in the T-zone. 

PROS : 

- Unique, luxury cushion case design

- Safely sealed

- Only need few amount to cover whole face (economic)

- Blends into skin easily

- Smoothen face

- Great coverage ( no need to wear concealer anymore )

- Dewy, glowing finish

- Decent staying power

CONS :

- Very limited shades option

- Dense texture 

- Quite pricey for a cushion without refill

This cushion would be perfect for people who love dewy, glowing skin with great coverage. I cannot deny that I like this cushion so much and the only thing that annoy me is the wrong color ( how I wish I could turn back the time and chose shade 23 instead ). I will keep using it anyway but I think it would suit for occasional event because of the dense texture and super high coverage formula. 

So, are you tempted enough to try this high-end cushion ?

Dressing up for summer is always so much fun, are you with me too ?

But sometimes (or most of the times), we feel like we have nothing to wear and end up buying new clothes or keep repeating the same look all over again. Here I tell you something - stop worrying, put down your wallet for summer shopping and let's turn on the styling game instead. Now look at your closet and follow these steps :

1. Choose printed crop top paired with culotte

As summer is identical with printed stuffs, you can try pair your printed crop top with high-waisted culotte. Challenge? Wear them print on print - but remember, always work in balance whenever pairing print on print, never pair bold print with the similar bold print.

2. Go for denim outer

We all have at least one denim top, either it's denim shirt or denim jacket. Use them as outerwear, just in case you feel to windy outside. Challenge? Choose crop denim jacket instead.

3. Tint sunnies is a must.

Don't worry to put so much colors for your summer look as long as the color suits to each other. Always go for tint sunnies rather than basic black aviator.

4. Statement earrings to the rescue.

If I have to live with one accessory for the rest of my life, it would be earrings. Well, statement earrings, in this case, can rescue any basic style because they always make an indescribable point.

5. Never forget to work on your hair.

Summer is just too boring if you never do something to your hair. Either wearing scarf as headband or hairpin, or the simplest one - braid your hair to make you look like you're so ready for summer!

Crop Top : ZAFUL | Culotte : Dresslily | Tinted Sunnies : ZAFUL

Now, put on your red lipstick and rock your 'not so new' summer look !

End of June most probably becomes women's favorite moment because it's finally SALE season again in so many retails and boutiques. I cannot deny that I also enjoy walking, browsing, and trying some pieces for hours inside the stores just to find the perfect summer outfit - and this time, ZARA stole my attention the most. I tried and bought some pieces there and felt that their summer collection this year is really my thing. Fyi, I used to not shop often in ZARA because most of the cutting doesn't fit my petite body but luckily this time I left my heart here. Thus, I rounded up some favorite summer looks from ZARA that you probably might like too.

1. OFF SHOULDER A-LINE MINI DRESS

Can't get enough with off-shoulder form, literally.

2. SATIN OVERLAP DRESS

Looking expensive with satin dress is always a good idea, especially combined with this season's most trending pattern, polkadot.

3. FIESTA COCKTAIL MINI DRESS

One of SS19 color trend to rock out your summer party season with light pleated fabric and flare cutting - I am sold.

4. SQUARE NECKLINE CROP TOP

There is no summer without crop top. When it comes in square neckline, puffy sleeves, and bright color, everything sounds perfect.

5. ORGANZA TOP AND PLAID TAPERED TROUSER

Looking extra rich for office attire or business dinner, paired with gold statement earrings, that would be a next level.

Got the hint for your summer outfit ? 

Now it's time for weekend shopping afterall, shall we ?
