Dark floral remarked as one of Fall-Winter 19 's biggest trend and I am all for it - especially when it comes in cropped top form. Lucky I found this piece at ZARA and it was on sale (summer sale in ZARA is always epic indeed). Made from soft crepe fabric with the combination of dainty floral and polkadots print plus ruffled hem, this cropped top looks perfect paired with pleated bucket trouser from BERSHKA and tweed sling bag. Since it has lower square neckline, it would look cute to accessorize the look with layered necklace.

Frankly I barely wear black, but this one - I am currently obsessed with.
How about you? What's your current obsession ?

For me, sheet mask is fastest way to enhance skin health and very travel-friendly. There are types of sheet mask from so many brands that I have tried and almost all of them are okay for me. This time, I want to introduce you with BLOOMING CELL DUAL EFFECT MASK from Korean brand, Seolreim Cosmetic - that claims it's not just an usual sheet mask. From the packaging, I can roughly tell that this sheet mask is not just to hydrate skin but also to repair skin, but what is the specialty of this product that makes it unique ? Let's just get to know more :)

What it is :

Blooming Cell Dual Effect Mask made from premium mask sheet contains 35 ml of highly enriched milky essence that able to strengthen skin barrier because of its ceramide abstract.

BLUE - moisturizing ( for dry skin )

RED - improving elasticity ( for anti-wrinkle skin )

How to use :

1. Wash face with no makeup residue.

2. Sooth skin with toner.

3. Place mask sheet over face.

REVIEW :

My mom, sister, and I are using this mask and we all like it. Just like how I usually use sheet mask, I put it on fridge afterwards I can feel the cooling effect of the mask, so calming indeed! The size of the mask is slightly too big for my face but it's still fine and I don't need to worry while putting this mask on my face since it's thick enough so it won't teared easily. The essence is also way too much until I can use remaining essence for neck and body - plus it's not sticky at all. The effect of this mask for my skin are indeed very moisturizing and hydrating. As you can see from the picture above, right after using the mask, my skin looks so soft and the next morning, it looks glowing and brighter. Although I don't experience any breakout on this mask, but honestly I can't really notice the effect of improving elasticity of this product, plus, it's quite pricey for sheet mask.

PROS :

- Won't teared easily
- So much essence
- Not sticky at all
- Moisturizing, relaxing, and hydrating
- Brighten up face

CONS :

- Can't really see the effect of "improving elasticity"
- Quite pricey ( IDR 311.000 / around $22 for 5 sheet masks )

I highly recommend to use this mask at night right after full makeup day because it's super relaxing and calming for our tired skin. Well, I also understand that it may be quite pricey compared to other masks, however if you want to try this mask, you can head to my CHARIS shop and get special deal for this Blooming Cell Dual Effect Mask, you won't regret it believe me :)



Rate : 3.5 out of 5
Price : IDR 311.000 ( around $22 ) / 5 sheet masks, special price from my link : IDR 270.000 ( around $19 )

Vaseline as one of body care brand pioneer, make a comeback with their new-limited edition product, SUPER FOOD SKIN SERUM.

MTV VMA19 (Video Music Awards 2019) may has passed a week ago but I can't stop eye-ing on celebrities who attended this annual music event. From Taylor Swift with her colorful blazer dress from Versace, Camila Cabello with draped gown from Balmain, Halsey with her see-through orange dress from Dundas, and many more. Among all of the looks, the one that caught my attention the most is Gigi Hadid's look wearing Tom Ford. It reminds me of corset or seamless body shaper for women indeed but in the next level obviously. Although it looks less elaborate compared to others, it gives both bold and elegant that I am surely every woman wants to achieve. The color dominated with beige which is perfect to look more expensive.

It's mid August already, which means it's the perfect time for wardrobe reset. Some of us may have prepared new coats, warm knits, or pair of leather boots - but do you remember to set aside your rattan bag and replace with leather bag instead ? However, this Autumn/Winter 2019 fashion is not just about leather bags, thus I decided to round up some bags I found from Baginning that are quite basic but I am pretty sure they are going to take over the fashion street for the next season, especially made for the newbies. 

1. Medium-sized bag

As modern women, we tend to be busy and nothing beats going out leather tote that is very practical to put folders, sketch book, or even smaller bag inside, all in one!

Tri-Color Stripe Leather Handbag

2. Crocodille-embossed leather bag

Call it a day, when you come up from the house or apartment, carrying the most fancy crocodile-embossed leather satchel bag while wearing furry coats and OTK boots.

3. Two-toned bag

One colored bag sounds too basic for autumn. The easiest way to put statement on your leather tote is by choosing two contrast colors like Burberry and Gucci did.

Basic and classic goes a long way, don't you think ?
