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 ^__^ :

Happy Halloween Folks!!! ;)

Howdy ho folks! it's the 31st of October!

Happy Halloween!!! :D

i love to see how there are creepy make up looks everywhere, cheers for that~!

After the Skin Aqua Event (which i'd write a super late review later), Ce Phanie, Endi Feng, and Felicia accompanied me to Paper Clip, i picked up a Snazaaro wax to do my special effect Halloween look, but i was really busy with my bloody internship, so i didn't get the chance to experiment with it... :(

Instead of doing scary make ups like some of my blogger friends (they're really good creating believable scars lol) i went with a sad horror doll concept. I remember watching this particular horror movie years ago, the movie's main character is a doll, the only part of the doll's face which can move is just its mouth *forgot the movie title* so i was re-creating the doll's face mixed with my own ideas, super simple! :)

 "I have to kill you..."

Happy Halloween and have a blast!!! ^^

Take care,

Beauty Photography Competition (Desa Warna 2012)

Hiya dear Nitartstudio guests, Happy Monday! :D lol

i'm about to share one of the past Make Up competitions i took a part in! :D

Well, it's not exactly a Make Up competition, it's a Photography competition (i LOVE Photography since High School! just in case you guys had no idea) held by UKM Studio-51 Atmajaya University, Jakarta, Indonesia called "Desa Warna".The length of time given to submit the photo was from Feb 27th until April 1st *and here i am, 8 months later writing a post regarding this competition! lol i didn't have a Beauty Blog back then, remember? :P * anyways, there were 4 categories up for grabs with one main theme for them all, which was "Indonesian Culture" :

1. Human Interest

2. Fashion

3. Architecture

4. Beauty

5. Still Life

I joined the 4th category : Beauty. I had to rush finding a model and thinking about what kind of Indonesian Culture Make Up i wanted to achieve (i ended up going with "Batik" sub theme) , since i was busy with my Uni assignments so timing was really crusial... i wanted to get my Assignments done well on time, on the other hand i didnt want to miss this out as well!! ;P  

I asked one of my bestfriends named Amelia Wijaya right away and she said yes! we're planning to do the photoshoot on Saturday evening because of her working hours. I planned to have the photoshoot done at Kota Tua Jakarta, a historical public place built by the Dutch but unfortunately it was already DARK when we reached there O___O" so... i initiated to go to Grand Indonesia Shopping Mall instead, the only place that came accross on my mind because i've done various things there lol this place has become somewhat like my saviour whenever something unpredictable happens.

Once we arrived, i hurriedly go to this one corner which i think is the least crowded everytime i go there, and i was right! We sat down on this long bench and i started to do her make up!! *Oh, finally*

Although there wasn't many people passing by BUT people who did pass by were  all glancing at us!!! ROFL. Some of them even asked things like "Is there gonna be a show??" and such, i apologize for humiliating you my dear friend!! ;P

Here are some of the results!!!

i was doing the photoshoot near the Mall's toilet! GOSH! hahaha so please bear with the poor lighting! ;(

In the end i lost but hey that's OK, i had a great time making this Make Up! and uh... i do agree from Photography wise those photos above are not good enough to win the competition. lol so maybe next time! :D

Thank you for reading, fellas! :)

Until next time, take care!

Muimiu's Big Bang Tickets Giveaway Contest! :)

Hiya Dear Nitarts Make Up Studio Guests!

It's October 5th already! means today is the last day to join Muimiu's very first Giveaway yayyyy~ :D

Who's Muimiu? She's a part time enterpreneur and such a beautiful member of IBB (Indonesian Beauty Blogger) she shares every little thing she's interested in through her blog, you can find out more about her here.

Well honestly i'm pretty amazed to see some beauty bloggers happily giving freebies, especially pricey thingy like Miumiu! >__< because i think people nowadays are more self-oriented... so it's a nice feeling to see there are still people who are willing to share their items. *Faith in Humanity Restored lol jk no more 9gag*

OH! i haven't told you about the prizes yet? my bad! the prizes are... *drum rolls*

TWO tickets of BIG BANG ALIVE WORLD TOUR CONCERT on Saturday, Oct 13th in Jakarta!

asdfghjkl;'...there's no way you're not having an urgency to join this giveaway right away after reading the sentence above if you are one of Big Bang fans (VIP) and haven't got the concert ticket yet!!! and yes you read it right, it is TWO tickets indeed! So the one and only winner of this giveaway can ask someone to accompany him/her to the concert! :D *how thoughtful of her, eh?*

Just in case there are still peeps who do not know what the heck is Big Bang *which i sincerely hope NONE rofl* Here's a short info i quoted from Wikipedia :

" Big Bang is a South Korean male band under the management of YG Entertainment. Formed in 2006, Big Bang has grown to become one of the most successful Asian acts in the world. The group consists of G-Dragon, T.O.P, Taeyang, Daesung and Seungri. Big Bang is known for their unique urban-originated music and fashion style. The members' involvement in composing and producing their own music, most notably G-Dragon's, has earned the group respect and praise from music industry experts."

This photo above reveals their 2012 fresh images! :*

Daesung, Seungri, Taeyang, G-Dragon, T.O.P

I'm not crazy about K-POP, but! >__< Big Bang, 2NE1, and SNSD are exceptional, why? simply because i freaking LOVE them! It's crystal clear you can only find one Boy group from the three stated above, so it's easy to say they're my only fave Boy Group from Korea, that's why it's mandatory for me to see them LIVE, specifically T.O.P, my bias in Big Bang! *love love* How can a man voice be that heavy, really? even if his body and looks weren't this good, i'd still like him for his amazing voice, promise :D

OK enough with the fangirling lol now let's get to my choice of  K-Pop singer who inspires my make up style! Bet you guys see her face often, yes yes, she's Sandara Park from 2NE1 who is also the brand ambassador of Etude House! :)

Why? She's beautiful ever since she's a kiddo! lol seriously she's pretty much the same as Yoona's SNSD whom look is still gorgeous without make up, they do not need make up to enhance their look, they were born prettily. *love love* Her make up style in Etude is girly, which is why they use the colour pink a lot, like the Etude House Brand image, needless to say, i love Sandara and Pink so yeah she's a perfect candidate. :)

But wait! i'm not doing her style of Girly/Cute Make Up like these pics, because it's too common, for this giveaway contest, i'm doing a completely different look of hers, elegant one!

i was stunned by this pic OMO i love the photographer, Make Up Artist, Hair Stylist, and whoever set the lightings! The lights are almost flawless for a beauty shot. *envy*

JA-JANGGGG!

And... here's my version of Dara's photo above! i have no one to ask for taking the pics with my Dad's DSLR cam so just bear with my SelCa (Self Camera) with bedroom lighting, i have just washed my hair so i can't do Dara's hairstyle because my hair kept on going down and down and down...and unfortunately i run out of Hair Spray so yeah i'm sorry.

Hopefully this is close enough *cough* OK IT'S NOT but i really did try my best...!!! :)

First Hairstyle ( Big hair with no bangs ) - Front

First Hairstyle - Side

Second Hairstyle ( Casual ) - Front

                                               

Second Hairstyle - Side

Third Haisrtyle ( One sided ) - Front

And yes, there are no Side angle photos for the third hairstyle, i was way too embarassed to put the lacey black ribbon on my head so i hurriedly took it off! ROFLMAO i never ever wear ribbon to anywhere, i just bought them becuase i think they're cute, as for wearing them, i think i'm not suitable for  such thing. lol

A MESS I'VE MADE just for creating this look! lol my sofa bed look super asdfghjkl; XD

Make Over for SM Town INA Concert by Lancome

Hello dear Nitartstudio Guests!

Hope you're doing awesome! :D

If you're one of die hard Kpop fans in Indonesia there's no freaking way you didn't know about SM Town INA concert at Gelora Bung Karno on September 22nd!!! Even if you're not a fan, bet you've heard about it, because it is that popular. As for me, i only bought the ticket to see SNSD aka Girls' Generation, OMYGOSHHHH i adore them ROFL XD i think they're effortlessly gorgeous and uh... my best friends know how i love pretty ladies...  *in the most STRAIGHT way possible, of course! :O* 

On that day, i had to attend Lancome beauty event at Mall Taman Anggrek (Make Up Consultant duel  between Carnellin and Hanna) at 11 PM as i already told you in the previous post.

I did bring my own make up tools and products because i thought i had to do it my own for the concert look *didn't get the info about the free make over* So yeah that was really troublesome since it's pretty heavy after some looong hours because i also brought a Taeyeon (1 of 9 SNSD members) hoodie! T^T i thought it would be somewhat awkward to wear it for a beauty event.

Here's a pic of how the make over desk looks like at Lancome booth, omg i wanna take some items home lol

Ms Rosdiana told me she'd be doing a natural make up look for me, i said yes,  Korean make up are mostly natural and famous for selling the "no make up look", so it was a perfect choice IMO.

Here's the result !

unfortunately the lighting was yellowish so i tried to take a pic elsewhere tho i was in a hurry, to show you guys how good the result was, it's already 3:30 PM something, GOSH! O_o

 I swear the foundation (Lancome Teint miracle) is magical !! it covers imperfections on my skin flawlessly after the application *love love*

i'm currently having this pic as the profile picture on facebook, i'm not even sure why. Let's say i was just bored.

*ignore the weird face expression -___-"*

After changing to Taeyeon Hoodie with a big "22" and "Girls' Generation" written lol there's no freaking way i'd put this on to the Lancome beauty event right O_O

pros :

I think she did a great job on the eyebrows! >_< she groomed and shaped it flawlessly! and no i'm not exaggerating, even my blogger friend said so... IMHO Ms Rosdiana is really good in doing eyebrows.

cons :

MY HAIR HURT A LOT. in the pics above you can't even see the ponytail right? it's because of the height!!! oh my my it's really high... i think because she was kinda hurrying in doing my make over, she forgot about the customers' comfort level... she done my hair fast yet roughly. :'(

Overall :

well, in the end i have to say, all in all, i love the result, apart of the poorly done hair do, the make up was great! and the foundie asdfghjkl;' again, i think i have to say, it was miraculous! Lancome Teint miracle is definitely one of the best foundie i've tried. I wore it from around 3PM and it stayed put pretty good on my face even after the concert at around 10.00 PM++ and even after getting home, around 01.30 AM, it wasn't that bad, tho it wasn't as good. lol what a foundie, if you're looking for one, this definitely worth a try! :)
