I got a crush on you ! Oops ! Don't get me wrong - what I mean is that this Bobbi Brown's Crushed Lip Color is really taking over my heart since the first time I got it on my hand. I am pretty sure most of you have known about this product because I realize that there are lot of beauty junkies who had mentioned about this lipstick so many times. For me, the first time I knew this product was from my beauty guru, Pony, who ( as I know ) becomes the ambassador of this Bobbi Brown lipstick as well. Alright, no more introduction, let's just heading to my review !

What it is :

The look of a lipstick meets the feel of a balm for our most wearable lip yet. Loaded with crushed pigments and lip-loving ingredients, it's the ultimate swipe and go formula.

Consists of 21 shades : 

Angel, Bare, Baby, Babe, Cabana, Lilac, Cali Rose, Bitten, Crush, Punch, Watermelon, Regal, Cherry, Grenadine, Sunset, Telluride, Ruby, Cranberry, Plum, Daring Dalalid, and Blackberry.

Wiped with tissue 

PACKAGING :

Sturdy, elegant black tube that comes with coated paper box.

TEXTURE :

Soft, creamy, balmy texture with decent color pigmentation and has no scent.

RESULT :

This lipstick glides smoothly on my lips as it claims that it enriched with vitamin E, C, and beeswax. That's why it doesn't have real matte finish but more like satin matte finish with slight gloss which suits for my super dry lips very well. For the first layer, the color may not too obviously seen so if you want more intense result, you need to apply two or three layers. For the staying power, it can stay for more than 4-5 hours but slowly fading after that. As you can see from the swatch picture above, I tried to wipe the color with tissue and the color gone easily although it's not completely faded. It stains to anywhere but what I love the most is this lipstick is very hydrating! For this Watermelon shade which has bright coral pink, I really like how decent the color on my lips because it suits with my yellow toned skin and just versatile - because it can be used for either daily makeup or occassional makeup.

PROS :

- Sturdy, elegant packaging

- Soft, balmy texture enriched with vitamin E, C, and beeswax

- Satin matte finish

- Decent color pigmentation

- Very hydrating

- Stay for 4-5 hours

- Versatile

CONS :

- Transferable

- Need to apply 2-3 times for more intense color

Overall, this lipstick is the BOMB! I've used it countless and I'm still loving it until now. It's just the perfect coral shade for me, not too bold, not too pale. I do really recommend this lipstick for those who has dry lips like me because it's very friendly and safe for our lips, even our lips will get smoother after using it, thanks to the rich formula !

Have you ever tried this lipstick too ? Kindly let me know your thought :)

Some of you may knew already about Young Living before, the pioneer of essential oil and now become the number one producer of therapeutic grade EO that are beneficial to people leading natural and toxic free lifestyle. So, few weeks ago, together with Surabaya Beauty Blogger fellows, I was attending Young Living's official launching of their newest makeup line called Savvy Minerals, which products are safe for any skin type, even for the sensitive one.

During the launching event, there's some explanation from Young Living Oil (YLO) representatives about how actually essential oils work for any aspect in our daily life from curing some allergics, indigestion, etc. Not only essential oil, Young Living also has their own skincare like cleanser, serum, and toner. One of the representative, Ms. Yuki, did the demo on how the oil cleanser works and how to do it in a right way.

Later after that, the event continued with the makeup demo by Caroline. She shared us smarter way on how to apply Savvy Mineral's powder foundation though ; by mixing it together with the serum so it will become a liquid foundation. The result is amazing though, super soft with slight glowy. Here, we also learned about Savvy Mineral's unique product named Multitasker, comes in powder form in black brown color that can be used as eyebrow powder, eyeshadow, or even eyeliner, pretty economic huh ?

Wearing swimsuit is such a big challenge for me. Why ? Truth to be told, I am typical of woman who doesn't like to show up too much skin and body curve. However, since I have lost around 6.6 lbs these days - plus, challenge is something that I always cherish, so why don't give it a try ? Teamed up with my favorite clothing brand, ZAFUL, I paired this one shoulder swimsuit with cat eye tint sunnies , completed with hoop earrings from H&M, gold bangle, and my favorite floppy hat to enjoy the nice breeze in the poolside. I really adore how this swimsuit fits well with my body shape and the ruffles that made from mesh fabric is certainly create a nice statement to my look ! Such a nice Sunday to just chill and dip in the water !

Tips : For you who doesn't like to show up too much skin but wants to wear swimsuit and looks fancy, always choose one piece instead of bikini because actually you can also wear it as body suit, just pair it with skirt or trouser, versatility mode on !

How do you think about this look ? Do you think I should post this kind of outfit more often ? Please let me know your thought :)

I can't believe that I am entering the age where friends and relatives around me are getting married. Feeling blue ? Yes sometimes - on the other hand, I am glad that finally people around me found the love of their life and of course I can't wait to find mine too ! I am pretty sure that Mr. Right will come to me at the right time, don't you agree all single ladies ? 

Well, it's end of July already and in the next 4 months, one of my besties is getting hitched with her soulmate. I can't wait to celebrate her big day obviously, but the problem is that I still can't find the right dress to be worn on her wedding day - not until I found this Promshopau , a fashion e-commerce that specialized in wedding dresses, bridesmaid dresses, or even evening dresses. Literally they have various kind of beautiful dresses that I can't resist until I plan to wear similar bridesmaid dress with my other besties ! Here are some of my choices that probably you can't resist too :)

1. Fresh Turquoise

Turquoise used to be my favorite color but I am no longer into it because there are some other colors that really captivate my attention. However, this bright turquoise is really an exception. I really love the sweetheart neckline and the color is just so fresh. Basic but very chic.

2. Elegant Navy

Navy is always right when it comes to bridesmaid dress. It looks elegant, especially for mature ladies, this color option is perfect for any body sizes and skin colors.

3. Sweet Dusty Pink

This probably becomes my number one favorite among all. V-neckline top made from sequins fabric paired with A-line bottom is just right for me. Looks sweet and feminine since the first glance!

Fyi, there you can also customize the exact color that you want, the size, or any other requirement that you feel you need for your dream dress. Alright then. after scrolling around the website, now I am feeling like I am ready to find the Mr. Right. It's out of sudden, I know, but well, who knows he will come right after I publish this post ? 

Pink is that one color I can never avoid because it always shows the femininity side of mine. Frankly I am typical of woman who have very girly appearance with a tomboy heart, who's with me ? ( not totally tomboy tomboy though but in some cases I sometimes do stupid or rebel things, thanks to my puberty which taught me a lot to be a real woman ). Therefore, whenever I want to feel like a real woman, I often go with pink like for example on first date, attending casual event, reunion, etc. Just like this outfit I wore for the beauty event on the weekend, I chose pink on pink for a total feminine look. I paired floral frilled top from ZAFUL ( they sell it as a set with the shorts, also check their discount code : ZFMine ), pink embroidered button A-line skirt, white pump heels, golden bangle, and spiced up with bohemian tassel earrings to make whole look has more summer feeling. I really love how light and pretty the form of the floral frilled top, looks a bit sexy but not exaggerating, definitely perfect for those who wants to enhance their body curve but still in decent way.

Sun still strikes right above our head and the weather still keeps us warm consistently - which means that summer is still here although we only have few weeks left to enjoy the vibe.
