FOTD on the Election Day :)

Hello beauty enthusiasts ! :)

Today is a pretty special day for Indonesians because it's our final Governor Election day!
Joko Widodo (Jokowi) and Basuki (Ahok) has won the second round which makes them the new Governor and Vice Governor! Yayyy~! Congrats for the amazing pair! :D

I have somewhat high expectation for them both since my aunt and them were school friends and she said nice things about them, especially Ahok because he was one of her close friends! Let's hope for a better Jakarta, it's on the right hands now! *Phew, finally! after all these years duh*

Ok, done with all the talking, now let's get into my FOTD ! (Face Of The Day)
I feel it's been awhile since the last time i put make up on, so i decided to spend the lovely evening to play with some make up products i own although i should have done something else today, i suppose, lol

Nothing special on today's FOTD, i just want to do casual make up, something you can pull off everyday, simple yet chic enough. You can go to your College/Office looking like this and still be able to hang out with your friends afterwards with this look! and the best part is..... it's easy and not time consuming! :D

I wear a formal white shirt in the photos just to make it easier for you guys to imagine doing bussiness for the day and spend the night going out! Here goes, my FOTD :)

 * excuse the tripod at the back, i know it's somehow distracting lol *

Report of Hada Labo Launching Event in Indonesia ! :)

Hello dear Nitartstudio Guests! :D

Today i'll be reporting the official Hada Labo launching event in Indonesia which took place at Poke Sushi, Crowne Plaza Hotel on Wednesday, Sept 12th at 18.00 - 2-.00 PM.

I just found out about the event's details on Wednesday at 16:10 PM when i haven't left the office which i'm doing my internship at! OH GOSHHHH !

i was kind of panicked since the Dress Code was supposed to be Blue and White like Hada Labo's packaging colors, i wore Black-Chocolate shirt instead, i haven't got my attendance confirmed to one of the the event's crew and on top of that... i didn't know the exact location of the Crowne Plaza Hotel, lol ! Actually the gorgeous Mada Foe sent me the invitation on Sept 10th but i haven't got the chance to open my email so i didn't know the invitation was already in my inbox, ah so foolish right ? -__-"

So i called to confirm my attendance and quickly headed there * i asked about 4 diff people to know how should i get there since the time's ticking and i didn't want to be late!! :( *

I arrived safely to the venue at 18:03-18:05 PM i guess, then i was kinda suprised because there were still plenty of empty seats, haha i ran for nothing T.T ...

i introduced myself to some bloggers and made new friends like... in minutes? lol they were all nice and we sure have something in common, our interest in beauty united us XD

The crew kindly served us with some delicious sushi from Poke Sushi ! I AM A SUCKER FOR JAPANESE FOODS so yeah i was really excited! :9

OH MY MY WHAT HAVE I DONE, why in the world i uploaded the food pics duh... -___-"

sorry my bad !

At the event, there were Mr. Mukdaya, President Director of Rotho Lab Indonesia, Mr. Tsunetsugu Shuici, Research and Development Manager of Hada Labo Japan, and Mr. Furuya Akiyoshi as well. The MC referred Mr. Tsunetsugu as Tsune-San so i'm gonna use that nick too to make it shorter, btw Tsune-San is such a friendly person! He's really bright yet lovable T^T aaaa what a deadly combination... i was his instant fan! hahaha

* Tsune-San from distance, sorry my cellphone sucks in taking pic and i didn't bring my cam :'( *

*Tsune-San doing a live demo*

just in case you've been wondering what Hada Labo is, it stands for the lifestyle philosophy of “PERFECT x SIMPLE” a japanese skincare range that brings beauty back to the basics – perfect, simple and confident. This brand is really FAMOUS in Japan, but only since 2-3 months ago Hada Labo can be found here in Indonesia, say goodbye to the pricey Japanese Hada Labo products yayyy~! Indonesia makes it locally under official Japan license, so it's really safe and also way cheaperrrr!!! ;)

The ingredients are Super Hyaluronic Acid, AHA+BHA, Arbutin, Retinol vitamin A. Hada Labo doesn't use harmful chemicals and doesn't add any useless ingredients for your skin benefit so it's free of fragrance , colorant, mineral oil, alcohol, and it's completely safe for sensitive skin! *love love*

There are threee lines of Hada Labo products :

1. Gokujyun Ultimate Moisturizing (White packaging)

2. Shirojyun Ultimate Whitening (Blue packaging)

3. Gokujyun Alpha Ultimate Anti Aging (Red packaging)

The thing she's holding is some kind of moisture measurement device, it's really precise! it detects your moisture level really fast, after getting a certain number of dryness measurement level, she'd use the Hada Labo Gokujyun Ultimate Moisturizing then test your dryness level again to prove that Hada Labo product really worked magically because your skin'd be moisturized in just seconds! * wow! *:D

Now here's a photo of me and some amazing fella bloggers i met that day! I didn't get the chance to take pics with all of em but i guess this will do, right? :)

Mada Foe, Melissa, Cynthia, Me :P, Safira

Pics of the Goodie bag i received from the launching event :)

Thanks a lot to ROHTO Pharmaceutical company for supervising Hada Labo products, i think the event went well too ! so i shall give em many credits! *love love*

I personally haven't tried any of the lines i mentioned above, but i surely have heard loadsss of positive reviews from beauty bloggers! so i'll sure try Hada Labo series soon since i love the concept! How about you? Have you tried this brand yet? :D

Been thinkin' to dye ur hair out ?

Hiya dear studio guests !

Have you ever thought of dying your hair ? :D

Never in my life i thought about changing my hair colour... never even once until the previous month ! :O

Out of nowhere i thought it might be a great idea to try a new colour for my hair since mine is black, so i started to plan it out, i had to decide whether i'd get it done at the salon or pick up a DIY hair dye product at some local stores.

After some time, i decided to get it done at home because i don't frequent a salon :( so i'm sort of afraid i wouldn't find the result pleasing. Then, i was confused what brand i should use, i was thorn between liese, a famous japan brand which is loved by manyyyy beauty bloggers, or L'oreal because i could purchase this brand easily here.

Before i could made up my mind, there was this Revlon event which took place in a mall. By buying 3 boxes of their hair dye products, we would get a free service to get our hair colored by their staffs who have done this for some time, so i assumed they must be pretty good in handling this matter... and so i bought 3 boxes of my preferred colour then proceed to the hair dying.

O_O i even surprised myself !!! i had no intention of getting it done that day asdfghjkl;... >__<

just because i was lazy to order liese from online stores, i thought this was a simpler and way quicker way to be a brown-haired girl instead of black. lol

Here's the color i chose, Medium Golden Chesnut Brown

The staff used 2 boxes for my hair because she said that my hair is long and thick *sigh i already cut it off months ago but my hair always grow back pretty fast... T^T

After the process is done, the staff said that the color will pop out 2 weeks later. well, since i knew nothing about hair dye product so i believed her.

* 2 looong weeks later *

My hair color still looked black with a touch of dark brown. What the heck? the color wasn't even near or as vibrant as the box shows ! not even getting a dark brown result.... GOSH I WAS REALLY DISSAPOINTED, moreover like i've told you before... it was my first time !!!

i have read some reviews from beauty bloggers overseas and the are mostly pleased with the results and i saw their hair colors resemble the hair dye boxes' covers. So yeah... i think since the Revlon products in Indonesia are made locally, not abroad, the chemicals are not as authentic anymore... When i asked a friend of mine who often dye her hair, she said "why Revlonnnnnn? the color will not show up!" oh my my... apparently it's not just me eh? :/

Don't get me wrong, i sincerely believe Revlon produces great make up products, BUT not hair related products.

By the way here's the result :

Before :

After :

* sobs... see it for yourself... T___T *

So i suggest you guys if you ever thought about changing your hair color, better get it done at the salon and make sure the salon offers professional services, it might cost you some money but it's wayyyy worth it then getting it done yourself ! and if you want to experiment using DIY hair dye products, i strongly suggest to never ever use Revlon hair dye. i'd go with japanese brands such as liese or palty instead, and of course make sure you order from the right stores which sell authentic japanese products. palty/liese is normally cost US $15 more or less in Indonesia or around 150.000 rupiahs.

Goodluck ! and thank you for reading ! :)

EDITED :

It's been around 3 months after dyed my hair using this product and guess what!?

People started to notice! O___O... GOSH!!!

These days people always ask me "Did u dye ur hair??" and i awkwardly answered "Yea, but it's already 3 months ago..." As crazy as this sounds, the color finally shows up on my hair after three months have passed. Pretty pleased with the color but still, my hair grows. right? so it's weird having brown colored hair but the upper side is black. Still not a rccommended product for me. Save your money for something else, ladies!!
