MonShu Girl Look-Alike Contest By Shu Uemura

Hello MakeUp Enthusiasts~! :D

It's been awhile since my last blog post, eh? been busy with some stuff. Sorry! ;(

GOSH i really have many things to blog in December

anyway, i'm back with another report of a makeup competition 

it's the MonShu Girl Look-Alike Contest by Shu Uemura Indonesia! *weeeee~*

I wanted to join this competition since the first time i read about it on Shu Uemura Indonesia twitter account, but like i said before, November was pretty hectic and idk if i could join... x___x moreover, my hair is nothing like the Monshu Girl ! Mine is long and no bangs, it's like totally the opposite from the official look. As the deadline's approaching, some of my beauty blogger fellas told me to join then i encouraged myself to spend a little time at night for imitating the look.

By the way in case some of you didn't know, Shu Uemura had the winners announced by November 28th, two of the three winners are our very own IBB members, Hana and Sheilla, yay~! congrats again for you both! ^^ *hug hug* Endi Feng and i lost and yeah we're both disspointed *guess all of the contestants all were* since the prize is Shu Uemura x Karl Lagerfield limited edition collection products worth Rp 1.000.000,- T____T but heyyy it's a competition, right and all of the winners really deserved to win IMHO, i was happy for them, i even congratulated Sheilla many times lol XD

Here's the official MonShu Girl look :

As for my 'before' photo i really have to apologise b/c i forgot to take one...  >__<

To cope up with that, here's my 'before' pic for the IBB Enchanting Fairy Challenge, my hair is in the same style before doing the MonShu Girl look so i guess this will do.

and ja-jaangggg! My version of MonShu Girl look ;P

Eventhough i lost, i'm pretty happy b/c Shu Uemura Indonesia actually said this to me through facebook message... (\( ^3^ )/)

Thanks Shu Uemura Indonesia and congrats again for all of the winners!

Until next time, take care beauty enthusiasts! :*

IBB "Enchanting Fairy" MakeUp Challenge

Hello Dear Nitarts' Makeup Studio Guests! :D

I'm about to reveal my submission for the Indonesian Beauty Blogger (IBB) first ever Makeup Challenge in November. The theme is "Enchanting Fairy"

The first time i read the word "Fairy", it really reminded me of Tinkerbell lol but i wasn't interested of creating a MakeUp look of her. I'm always driven by passion of doing something different, not that i'm saying Tinkerbell's look is mainstream, but it just doesn't appeal that much for me. I wanted to explore the dark side of a fairy, simply because the dark sides of everything are more "enchanting" to me :)

Concept

I made up a fictional fantasy character : Fairy of the Mystical Blue. This fairy is easily misunderstood by her surroundings because of her assertive appearance and she doesn't even try to clarify everytime she's being badly accused and finally, she's exiled from the Fairy World because of something she didn't do. Taken over by sadness, she felt like she's the most miserable fairy out there and solitude is her only friend.

Before : 

After :

*taken with the new ipad's secondary camera. Horrible quality T___T ...*

P.S : my digicam focus is broken so it's super hard to take photos without blurry results. FYI, i took 410 photos and only 15 or so of them are not blurry!!! So please excuse the bad pics quality...

Skin Aqua Indonesia Beauty Talk Event

Hello beauty enthusiasts! 

Have you ever heard of Skin Aqua? What a silly question, yes? 

of course... it's the no. 1 UV Skin Care in Japan! :D

*promotional pic by Skin Aqua Indonesia, i do not own this*

Last month, Skin Aqua Indonesia invited me along with some other beauty bloggers to attend their Beauty Talkshow held at Tartine Restaurant, FX -Sudirman, Jakarta. I was pretty excited because i do use one of their product, which is the UV Moisture Milk with longer UV protection - SPF 50+ PA+++ for face and body when i travel to minimize the bad effect of the UV rays exposure for my delicate face skin.

Okay, let's moving on to the event report :)

Felicia and i were the first to be arrived! lol we came too fast, i guess. The staffs greeted us warmly, i got to meet mas Dien, the one who invited me, he said i was the hardest blogger for him to contact. MY BAD! He still treated me kindly, i'm sorry mas Dien! :S

We're welcomed with early dinner by Tartine restaurant :9

There were 3 speakers that night :

1. Ms. Ditta Amalia - Product Specialist PT. Rohto Pharmaceutical Indonesia

2. Mr. Furuya Akiyoshi - Vice President PT. Rohto Pharmaceutical Indonesia

3. Ms. Adira  - Fashion Editor

Mr. Furuya told us how Japanese nowadays are more picky to choose their Skin Care, including Sunscreens. Most of them choose Skin aqua for their UV skin care because they feel protected without feeling heavy after the application. Yes guys, this UV skin care line's texture is watery, so don't worry about the annoying sticky feeling, just wait until it absorbs perfectly and you're done! :D

Ms. Ditta explained pretty deeply about the UV rays. Well guys, did you know that there are 3 types of UV? UV-A, UV-B, UV-C. People tend to use SPF only with no PA++ (including me T__T). Yes, SPF will protect your skin from the UV-B which caused sunburn BUT it is the UV-A which caused darker skin tone and early skin aging!! Well i honestly didn't know about this until i attended this event, oh thanks for the depth of the informations given in this beauty talkshow.

There are 4 variants of Skin Aqua UV Skin Care products, so you can choose which of the four would suits your skin condition best ^__^ :
