We are aware that this pandemic changes the way we live. We, like it or not, really need to take care of our hygiene as a preventive action to avoid us from the virus. Either we have to go out doing some work outside or just staying at home, we still have to take care of our hygiene. I normally not typical of person who really aware about this kind of thing, but since this pandemic, I do really take care of myself inside out, not just for me but most importantly, for people around me.

There are so many ways to take care of our hygiene though. Besides washing our hands regularly, I also like to clean my face regularly. As you know, when it comes to first step of face cleansing, I always trust Bioderma Sensibio H2O micellar water since 3 years ago and now what I am going to share to you is the new face cleansing experience with Bioderma Sebium Hygiene which consists of : Bioderma Sebium Gel Moussant, Bioderma Sebium H2O Micellar Water, and Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micellar Water. Why did I say it new experience? Because although I already Bioderma user since years ago, I never really tried their Sebium series which specially made for oily and combination skin. So, aren't you curious with the difference of each of them and the impact to my dry, combination skin ? Let's scroll until the end to get to know more :)

This Sebium foaming gel gently cleanses and purifies skin without drying it. It contains zinc and copper sulphate which cleanses epidermis, reduces the appearance of irregularities, and absorbs excess of sebum. It's very gentle, soap-free formula, and its physiological pH is maintained. 

Put sufficient amount onto palm, work into foam, apply it on wet skin and make circular movement. Rinse well and gently dry it. Use it every morning and night.

This pump tube bottle is securely sealed and you have to rotate the pump to open it. Packaging wise, it's very light and I can take out the product easily. It has watery gel texture with natural blue color and soft, fresh scent. When it comes to making foam, I must admit I am really bad at it. But anyway, one pump is just enough for my whole face. I used to worry if it might dry my skin since it's a product for oily, combination skin but it turns out the opposite! It feels so gentle on my skin and after wash, my skin turns out so soft and perfectly clean, not greasy or sticky at all, not even drying my skin a bit.

PROS : 

- Securely sealed packaging.

- Soft, fresh scent.

- Feels gentle on skin.

- Cleanse face perfectly.

- Soften skin without drying it.

- None.

Sebium H2O Micellar Water is a makeup remover which specifically created for combination to oily skin but also perfect for sensitive skin. Enriched with purifying agents, zinc gluconate, and copper sulphate ( that makes the color looks blue ). This product gently freed skin from makeup and impurities, also control shine on skin.

Soak cotton pad with Sebium H2O Micellar Water, then gently cleanse the makeup from face. Use it in the morning and/or night.

Like I said before, I have used Sensibio H2O Micellar Water since years but never tried Sebium H2O Micellar Water before. From the packaging, I can tell that both are the same, they are securely sealed with the bottle cap seal, but this Sebium Micellar Water has aromatic, fresh scent with natural blue color ( from cooper sulphate ). It cleanses my face completely and surprisingly, it doesn't dry my skin at all although it's specifically made for oily, combination skin. Just like the facial foam, it gives fresh feeling to my skin. It can removes makeup, but it's unable to cleanse waterproof makeup completely. As you can see from the picture above, my mascara is still there.

- Securely sealed packaging.

- Fresh scent.

- Doesn't dry my skin at all.

- It can removes base makeup completely.

- Lifts up excess sebum.from skin.

- It can't removes waterproof makeup.

Sensibio H2O is a cleansing, makeup remover for sensitive skin. It made up from micelles with excellent cleansing and makeup removing properties, it's able to cleanses face perfectly and prevent pollutants from penetrating the skin.

Soak cotton pad with Sensibio H2O Micellar Water. Gently cleanse makeup from face and eyes. For longwear makeup, allow the cotton pad to sit on eyelids for few seconds.

This is totally my all time favorite micellar water. It only need few drops of micellar water to cleanse whole face. It's fragrance-free and also able to remove waterproof makeup ( but have to follow the step I mentioned above ). It's very moisturizing, refreshing on my skin, and it's very safe for eyes and lips area.

- Fragrance-free.

- Cleanse makeup completely.

- Able to remove waterproof makeup.

- Very moisturizing, refreshing.

- Safe for eyes and lips area.

- None.

As sum up, Bioderma never fails to please me. This bundle package ( Sebium Gel Moussant, Sebium H2O Micellar Water, and Sensibio H2O Micellar Water ) which I received from Clozette Indonesia's project, really works well to my skin although my skin is more like dry combination rather than oily combination - which makes me agree with their campaign slogan "Healthy Skin Starts In The Bottle".

Summer is all about light yet flowy dress, doesn't matter if it's short or long. When it comes to style a dress, I always more into mini dress than maxi one - the reason is obvious though, because I am petite. But today, I am going to get out from my boundary and wear my favorite polkadot maxi dress which I got last year from ZARA. Not just that, I also make this look slightly different from what I usually do because I pair it with ripped pants from ALOWALO, well, skinny jeans to be exact. I just feel this style is not bad at all although I am petite, so here are some tips from me if you're petite like me but want to wear maxi dress over pants :

Culotte may look a little bit tricky, so instead of pairing it with wide leg pants, choose skinny one, jeans is the best option for me because it's very versatile. You can also rolled the hem part so it gives taller look effect.

Could be overlap dress or buttoned shirt dress, whatever you like but make sure it has front closure so you can slightly open few buttons at the bottom part.

I am not sure if I am a true fan of heels because I often wear sneakers too, but for this look, I definitely go for heels because it makes me 5 cm taller than I actually am.

For years, NATUR has been known well for its hair products – and now they’re finally expanding their wings by releasing skincare product based on the nature, like this one I am going to share with you, MIRACLE FACE SERUM. This series comes with three types of serum : RENEW, BRIGHTENING, and CALMING. Based on my current skin problem (dry and redness), Calming Serum would suit me best among all, but let’s just prove how it actually works on my skin!

Description :

Natur Miracle Calming Serum contains Cica (Centella Asiatica) which helps to disguise acne spots, calm redness to make even skin tone, and also to keep skin’s firmness. It’s also contains Witch Hazel that helps to minimize skin pores and hydrate skin.

How to use :

Drop sufficient amount onto palm, then apply evenly. Slowly massage upward for maximum result. Use it every morning and night before sleep.

PACKAGING :

Plain design glass bottle serum comes with cute paper box. The bottle hole is quite too narrow so it’s quite difficult to pull the pipette out from the bottle.

TEXTURE :

Slightly thick watery gel texture and It’s scented-less.

RESULT :

I’ve been using this serum alone since the first time I received this serum without any other skincare product, to test the real impact to my skin. When I first tested it on my hand, the serum needs some time to completely absorb into my skin, but when I applied it on my face, it just needs a second for it to absorb into my skin. It feels so light and fresh on my skin, despite of its slightly thick texture. On the next day when I wake up, I can see that my face feels so hydrated and redness around nose area is slightly reduced. I also like that this serum makes my skin feels smoother. At the moment I don’t really have acne spot so I can’t tell how it works to reduce acne spot but it is able to calm down redness on my skin.

PROS :

• - Alcohol free, scented-less.
• - Slightly thick watery texture yet easily absorbs into skin.
• -Makes skin feels fresh after applied.
• -Able to reduce redness.
• -Hydrate skin well and feels smoother.

CONS :

• -It’s quite hard to pull out the pipette out of the bottle, makes me worry if the bottle might break because I force it too much. Oh, it doesn’t come with seal too.

Overall, I didn’t expect that this product could be this good for my skin but based on NATUR background, I supposedly didn’t have to doubt their product because they always use plant based as their main ingredient. If you’re into plant based skincare product like me with good benefits and affordable price, you should try this serum. You can easily purchase it online via NATUR official store at Shopee and Lazada for IDR 170.000 / 30 ml size. I also recommend this serum for you who have normal to dry skin and currently looking for a light product to calm redness and hydrate your skin daily.

Loungewear has been trending these past few months due to quarantine season and that makes me wear it quite often. Not just because I follow the trend (well, frankly that's one of the reason too), but I also feel that loungewear can be worn in many ways, not just as outfit at home. This time, I partnered with Indonesia loungewear brand, VJLC Pajamas, to style their signature pajama set (tanktop + shorts + kimono) into 5 different styles. 

Are you consider to wear loungewear as hang out outfit too ?

Hingga saat ini, sheet mask masih menjadi tren di dunia kecantikan dan semakin banyak brand yang berlomba untuk mengeluarkan produk masker sheet mask dengan kualitas juga inovasi yang semakin diperbaharui - termasuk diantaranya adalah L’oreal Paris. Belum lama ini L’oreal Paris mengeluarkan seri PRO YOUTH FACE MASK dengan kandungan Hyaluronic Acid (senyawa untuk menjaga kulit wajah tetap awet muda) yang terdiri dari tiga varian yaitu LIFTING, PLUMPING, BRIGHTENING. Nah, apa sih yang sebenarnya membedakan masker L’oreal Paris ini dengan brand lainnya ? Yuk kita bahas lebih lanjut!

Deskripsi :

Masker wajah dengan teknologi Advance Cellulose Tissue Mask, Japanese Cotton yang didesain untuk menyerap serum 10x lebih banyak. Masker ini hanya memiliki ketebalan 0.3 mm sehingga memberikan efek 2^nd skin dengan bentuk masker yang disesuaikan dengan bentuk wajah orang Asia. Penggunaan 1 masker L’oreal Paris selama 15 menit dipercaya memberikan efek yang setara dengan penggunaan satu botol serum.

Terdiri dari 3 varian :
- PLUMPING : merawat kulit sehingga terasa halus dan elastis.
- LIFTING : merawat elastisitas dan tonisitas kulit.
- BRIGHTENING : merawat kulit agar tampak cerah berkilau dan bening.

Cara penggunaan :

1. Buka lipatan masker wajah, lalu buka lapisan pelindung biru.
2. Sesuaikan masker dengan bentuk wajah, lalu diamkan selama 15 menit.
3. Lepaskan masker wajah dan tepuk secara lembut sisa essence di wajah untuk penyerapan yang optimal.

Kemasan :
Modern dan cukup tebal, dengan sisi kanan kiri kemasan yang mudah dirobek dan rongga udara untuk menyimpan masker sehingga terasa ada banyak essence di dalamnya.
 
Tekstur :
Tekstur agak kental yang awalnya terasa lengket tapi kemudian setelah meresap ke kulit tidak terasa lengket sama sekali.
 
Review :
Sesaat setelah membuka kemasan face mask ini agak khawatir karena aku pikir akan mudah robek karena ketebalannya yang hanya 0.3 mm saja, tapi ternyata ada protecting film nya (berwarna biru) yang sangat membantu untuk membuka lipatan maskernya. Ukuran maskernya memang agak kebesaran di wajahku terutama di area dagu dan mata sehingga harus berulang kali untuk menyesuaikan dengan wajahku. Essence nya sangat banyak namun nggak gampang meluber kemana-mana, wanginya pun juga nggak kuat dan cukup menenangkan. Sisa-sisa essence di kemasannya pun bisa dipakai untuk leher dan tangan. Efek yang paling terasa setelah masker ini menempel di wajah selama 15 menit ini adalah cooling dan youthful radiant nya, padahal aku nggak mendinginkan masker ini ke dalam kulkas sebelumnya. Selain itu, meskipun essence nya banyak, masker ini menempel sempurna di kulit wajah dan nggak gampang geser. Setelah 15 menit, tekstur masker semakin mirip dengan cotton tissue tipis karena essence sudah ter-transfer sempurna ke dalam kulit. Efek yang paling terasa dari ketiga masker ini adalah kulit terasa terhidrasi, halus, dan radiant. 

1. REVITALIFT PRO YOUTH FACE MASK – PLUMPING
Mengandung Damask Rose yang memberikan efek lembab, nyaman, dan kulit menjadi lebih cerah. Masker untuk kulit kering dan kusam ini juga menjadikan kulit terasa lebih kenyal, segar, dan lebih sehat.
 
2. REVITALIFT PRO YOUTH FACE MASK – LIFTING
Mirip seperti efek dari varian Plumping, masker ini menjadikan wajah terasa lebih kenyal, halus, dan kencang karena kandungan Witch Hazel nya, pori-pori kulit terasa lebih kecil, juga garis-garis wajah tersamarkan.
 
3. REVITALIFT PRO YOUTH FACE MASK - BRIGHTENING
Masker untuk mencerahkan wajah ini memberikan hasil instan, tepat setelah pemakaian. Efek cerah yang dihasilkan karena kandungan Volcanic Spring Water pun terkesan natural dan kulit tampak jauh lebih halus.
 
Kelebihan :

• Efek 2^nd skin karena ketebalan masker yang sangat tipis (0.3 mm), tapi nggak mudah robek, dan nggak gampang geser dari kulit wajah.
• Essence yang sangat banyak dan tidak mudah luber.
• Terdapat protecting film yang memudahkan ketika membuka lipatan masker.
• Hasil langsung terasa tepat setelah pemakaian masker selama 15 menit.
• Essence yang mudah terserap sempurna ke dalam kulit dan nggak lengket.
• Memberikan efek dingin, segar, dan lembab.
• Setiap varian memiliki kandungan anti-aging.

 
Kekurangan :

• Ukuran maskernya agak terlalu besar untuk wajahku. 

Secara keseluruhan, masker wajah L’oreal Paris ini sangat cocok untuk kamu yang serius dalam perawatan kulit karena hasil langsung tampak seketika setelah penggunaan masker. Oh ya, ketiga varian ini juga memiliki kandungan anti-aging sehingga cocok banget untuk dipakai untuk orang-orang usia 25 tahun keatas (termasuk aku sih). Aku pakai masker L’oreal Paris ini ketika kulit wajahku benar-benar membutuhkan nutrisi khusus secara kilat dan saat nggak sempat untuk pakai skincare lengkap. Jadi aku pakai masker ini kurang lebih 2-3 kali seminggu saja selama 15 menit (jangan lebih dari itu ya karena bisa membuat kulit jadi kering dan efek essence nya jadi nggak maksimal). Setiap kali pemakaian masker L’oreal Paris Revitalift Pro-Youth ini sudah sangat cukup untuk membuat kulitku menjadi lebih sehat dan segar karena efeknya memang benar-benar terasa seperti menghabiskan satu botol serum wajah secara rutin.

Untuk harganya IDR 38000 dan kalian bisa beli di online atau offline store. Untuk offline store nya ada di Indomaret, Alfamart atau Watsons. Sedangkan untuk online store , kamu bisa cek di L’oreal Paris Official Store Shopee, Lazada, dan Tokopedia.
