Base Make-Up Collection

Lumierre Vhey — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 12:43:34 +0000

These few days I’ve been addicted again to Poupee Girl. For those who doesn’t know, its a game-like-fashion community made by nihonjin. They have the english version but not as complete as the Japanese version well, at least you still can enjoy it la~ you collect ribbon (or money) by posting you closet items, visiting another pupe, update your pupe clothes, etc. . . if you rich enough you can buy the Jewel. Jewel’s item more prettier than the Ribbon item. I still don’t get it why they have this Jewel and Ribbon. Ribbon is enough la!! *envy glare to those have jewel items* or, if you bored with the online one, you can try the NDS version. It consist 3 version but, as for me I still like the online version cuz they always update new item ~ anyway, since I’m kinda lazy to take picture of my clothes I took my make-up pictures instead. As for today, I took the base make-up (powder, foundation, pressed powder) here’s some picture spam from me, enjoy~

Maybelline Clear Smooth Mineral BB Cream and BRTC Perfect Recover BB Cream (its my first BB Cream!) I don’t use foundation, actually, because my face is acne prone and foundation’s ingredient more heavy than BB Cream’s. BRTC was my very first BB Cream. Used it almost. . . 3 years and I like it very much. It doesn’t damage my face although after erasing it I can see its kinda heavy/thick but actually no! not too oily, but unfortunately I bought the wrong shade its too white for me sometimes. So expensive but worth it la~ for 3years this baby have help me and be my make-up partner LoL. As for Maybelline, I bought because. . . er. . . just in case of emergency. I need a natural shade for my base and since this so cheap. . . ya why not try it? It almost good but not as good as BRTC. Suitable for normal and oily skin, so-so in spot recover, not too heavy too, good for everyday use (I use BRTC when there’s special event like party, wedding, etc :p)

Next. . .

Powder! Gosh! I have 5 in total. Now you know that I love them very much! Since my face too hard to apply eyeshadow, eyeliner, even blush on, I only can achieve those flawless look (and end up like ulzzang LoL)

I started to idolize those flawless look when I read some Japanese. I realised that some of the model’s face are worser than mine but their amazing make-up make them look so flawless! (and photoshop skill to LoL) What I like about Japan’s make-up is they focused on technique. Once I saw on TV they only use tiny amount of foundation ( like. . . just a DOT) plus concealer and powder. Kaboom! the model’s face whose older than me become so flawless and younger. The more I know I’m tempted to buy their fashion magazine and luckily~ they give some make-up tutorial too. To be honest, their make-up, unlike Indonesia’s that so thick on eyes and cheek, their’s more to face (that’s why I collect many powder as they have different texture) . . . Ok ok, to much useless explanation let me introduce you to me babies~ *3*~

Starting from the tiny red one, it calls Palgantong. This one was my very first korean powder. So far, I like the color since it goes well with my BRTC BB Cream. Their particle can conceal my pore (not my spot) well but I’m too lazy to use it since I bought the small one. Should buy the bigger one next time

The green one almost like lemon colour is SkinFood’s Lettuce Cucumber Powder. I prefer this one than Palgantong because of the smoother texture (BTW, I always apply Powder/Pressed Powder using make-up brush). It not an everyday powder since can’t cover well, better use it with foundation or BB Cream. I never want use this one with my BRTC. I look so damn PALE. If you wanna buy, pick the shade that darker than your original skin since it’ll become white after a few hours T__T the most upper one (almost corner) also SkinFood’s product. Its the Buckwheat powder. Can’t say much about this one since never apply it on my face cuz it have some perfume/scent on it. Apply it on my neck area instead. Goes well with my Lettuce Cucumber Shade and the texture way more smoother than my Palgantong LoL

The Jade colour is Clinique Superpowder. . . not much I can say either since just used it once~ XD blame ZA‘s Skin Beauty Two Way Foundation that attracted my attention LoL I lately love the ZA’s one. It cover PERFECTLY! eventhough I don’t use concealer, just this Two Way Cake! normally, even when I use Two Way Cake it can’t cover my dark spot and pore but ZA make it possible. Now I always carry this sweet pink case when I go out LoL. Here’s some Clinique and ZA zoom in version, they both have good package X3

just decorate it with some not-too-flashy docoden :3

Hmm. . . . wait. . . when I said base. . . did I miss something? oh yes, the concealer! haha silly me >_< maybe I’ll post it later . BTW, who plays poupee girl here? be sure to visit me (lumiervhei) or you haven’t try it? go have a try bb~!!

I live in apartment y’know its super small and super simple! Anyway, I once got a cooking course brochure from my mother. It was Tokyo Imperial Cooking School. . . oh waw, just from the name you know its so luxurious and when I find out yes, it IS indeed so luxurious! the name, the menus, the prices that could kill you instantly LoL I lent those brochure to my friend and looks like he lost it so I request another one to be send to me.

Some Dim-Sum

Lumierre Vhey — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 10:52:01 +0000

As I promised before, here’s some delicious food that I ate after attending the make-up class by Za. At first I thought will have no dinner, luckily, dad came to pick me up at church at took me to Din Tai Fung. A chinese restaurant at Mall of Indonesia which famous for it’s Xiao Long Bao yet, so expensive (for student)

some yummy Hot n Sour Soup, Won Ton, Chicken Xiao Long Bao! actually there’s more, the Golden Lava. Its a steam bun with crab’s eggs inside. Since its too yummy I ate it first and forgot to take a pic! LoL

zoom in of Hot n Sour Soup!

and I ordered Bubble Tea for drink. Hmm. . . just like the regular one that you bought at Mall. Different is, the Bubble more softer

and I found something funny to!

Sparkling Xiao Long Bao gems! no colour add, the use vegetable to make such colour. Unfortunately I didn’t order it, IMO, useless LoL and we should pay more CMIIW. Ah, I love the Pink and Green one BTW, how about you?

Gosh I eat too much for this long holiday @__@! Hope will not become more fatty when the holidays end haha!

Make-up class with Za

Lumierre Vhey — Sun, 26 Jun 2011 17:43:28 +0000

Remember that I mentioned here that I’ll attend a make-up/beauty-class? Yep! I attended it this Sunday, its by Indonesia’s Za-Cosmetic. This was my second make-up class. My first time was PAC and they tough us more to Basic Professional Make-up (which usually for party) and IMO, although they don’t apply to much make-up but the result become so thick. On the other side, today’s class by Za more to everyday make-up and honestly I like it better (it just my style beibeh~~). Quite fun there, meeting new friends (yes! I got 2 friends and they both were so nice), learning new technique, got goodie bag, discount, free food (LoL). Starts from 10AM but the from the Za side late in making the preparation. End up it started at 11AM-13PM. Just like the usual make-up class, first they tough us how to self-treatment/thing that needed before you apply make-up. As for the make-up session its quite enjoyable enough and calm. Really recommend this one (sadly the place kinda dark ) the BA so kind enough to explain the product, how to apply treatment cream and make-up base on your face’s shape. At the end of class they gave us free snack (including drink) and doorprize too. Unfortunately I didn’t get those and can’t take pics during the class, I can’t hold camera while I hold make-up hoho! and beside its too dark there (so many reason LoL). Anyway , because of the make-up class all the participant were given IDR50.000 Star Department Voucher (that must be use immediately) plus discount 20%. Blame the BA! I’m so tempted to buy to many product when actually I wanna buy their newest foundation :p here’s what I bought and got today (beware of pictures spam!)

Goodie Bag from Za. . . and what’s inside??

Post card with picture of Za’s new ambassador and Za’ True White Prisminizer (or Toner)

and I bought. . .

1. Skin Beauty Two-Way Foundation Cake #22 + Refill

2. True White Instant Brightener

3. True White Metavoltage Cream ExfolatingCream

ups, almost forgot this Concealer Perfection #1

5items in total~ yey! I’m broken naw!! LoL

you can even see yourself with this cute case <3

True White Prisminizer + Metavoltage Cream

that’s all! now I don’t forget the Concealer~ *give special place*

End of the pictures spam! sorry~! actually I still have some (culinary tho) but will post it tomorrow

Pond’s and Za

Lumierre Vhey — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 04:26:14 +0000

I should’ve write this yesterday but oh well, kinda lazy haha! Maybe some (or all?) of you know that Pond’s just launched new product lining called Pond’s White Natural with Camellia Leaf as it’s main ingredient (or also known as green tea’s ingredient. Oh I’m so in love with green tea related things!) For this new product line, the came in 3 products; Night Cream, Day Cream, and Facial Wash. So cheap like always! So tempted with the TV Adv, I waited to be able to buy this little baby here. It took me about 1weeks? or more? to be able to buy this one. Why its so late? maybe its some kind of market strategy LoL! Found this new product line atWatson yesterday. Wanna bought all of them but I still have the Flawless White Night and Day Cream will have to use it all first ( I love it anyway, since it makes my skin more soft and reduces the dark spot too). So I bought the facial wash since my Pond’s Perfect Matte is about to run-out.

Bought the small one first. See? the package just like what the main ingredient are, green! and so simple, so nature like Just try this one for twice and I tell ya! I love it (for now haha). The texture way more softer than Perfect Matte and the result? I love this one better than Perfect Matte too. It made my face not too oily, like normal skin and even after couple of hours my face doesn’t have many oil. Perfect Matte made my skin so dry (it does, for oil control) after cleansing but gave out so many oil later . Just use this 2days, will wait for couple of days for the next result! haha

oh, and I registered at Za‘s make-up class that will be held this week (26June, Sunday). Its so cheap, just IDR50.000. The money just for assurance, you can later exchange it for product (with IDR50.000 reduction) and you will also get goodie bag, snacks, door-prize. From what I heard they teach basic make-up and treatment things. Since I’m in long holidays maybe I’ll register make-up class everywhere LoL i just love learning new technique ^ ^. Register at Za‘s counter and get the invitation! its collectible, BTW haha

Koji Eyetalk

Lumierre Vhey — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 16:16:58 +0000

So. . . here I am again, back at last! Sorry for the long time of absent. I’ve various problem like the National Examination (yes, I was a High School student), tuition, graduation practice, and the worse I lost my connection!! my internet provider IS a real suckers, I paid so expensive but what did I get? slow connection! because of that, I disconnect it for 2-3months since I need money to pay my tuition too :p But now I’m back, k? I miss reviewing and updating this blog for like. . . . 53988193179473times, LoL! so many products that I bought recently (and now I’m broken). From all of them. . . what I like most is

KOJI EYETALK

Been eyeing this one since last year but I kinda doubted it since its a GLUE. Normally you use eye-glue for fake lashes right? But really, Japanese so creative and understand us, who’s monolid and more important have THICK fat on our upper eyelid. Most of time you can make eyelid using double eyelid tape but in my condition? I can’t!! I had tried various eyelid tape. From the thick one to thin one and it keeps on failing. Even the people at saloon give up. I’ll have double eyelid if I use fake lashed, but its impossible for me to use it everyday nee? ^^; its kinda tiring. so I try to bought this one about. . . last week? it costs $22 or IDR187.000. Expensive right? its so rare in Indonesia, I bought it at SOGO Department store. But its so cheap if you buy them at Sasa.com about half-price from mine LoL

The liquid inside comes white in colours but relax, it will dry and turn transparent when you leave it for about 10secs. When it dry, you can now ‘create’ you double eyelid. When you buy this thing, they also give you some tutorial paper. Although its in Japanese you still can understand it by seeing the pictures given

Ok, so how to apply? easy!

1. Cleanse your eyelids and wipe them dry.
2. Use the fork applicator to measure the thickness of your double eyelids ( which you desire) – 4-6mm from your eyelashes will be more natural
3. Close your eyes
4. Use the brush applicator and apply a 4-6mm wide(oval shaped) on your middle eyelid – a thin layer will do and avoid uneven application
5. Wait the glue turns transparent, slowly use the fork applicator to push your eyelids up
6. To remove or redo, use a wet cotton pad to remove the glue
7. Or you can see the youtube videos here

The minus points from this little baby is it hard (well as for me) to close my eyes since its a glue and don’t use it with make-up like eye-shadows, liquid eyeliner is enough. Why? because if you use eye-shadows, you can see some white particle of dried glue there ^^; clean it with water, don’t just rub it cuz it can harm your eyes’ skin.

Just use one time if you have thin fat. As for me, I use 3layers *curse my damn thick eyes fat* and it turns out like this

I used to O_O my eyes but when I use this Koji Eyetalk no need for me to O_O (seriously, how do you say it? LoL) but it also hard for me to O_O btw. You can see my double eyelid cuz I create is inside (if outside, my eyes still look small, like the REAL Korean haha). With the help of Koji Eyetalk and Circle Lens now I can have this big eyes *jumps* and please don’t comment about my bang, I know it is weird. I’m in hurry and this happened T__T

Its February

Lumierre Vhey — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 12:44:03 +0000

Its February! So what? that means Valentine. How do you guys spend your V-day? As for me, I got chocolates from some female friends of mine and went to ate Haagen Dazs Ice Cream. Sadly, It’ll be my last Valentine in my teen-age since this year I’ll turn 20 and I have no boyfriend to share my V-day with but having my friends gave me chocolates and we spent our V-day together is enough. Its happy to see that you still have some one to be with and share with I really love this year’s Valentine because there’s something special but I’m sorry its a

S-E-C-R-E-T

I’m not gonna tell you what, my dear. Just think it yourself if you want to HAR HAR HAR! anyway, I really thanks God for it, a really nice present indeed <3

BTW, Before Valentine I spent my day with my friend, shopping for some girls’ stuffs like. Here’s what I bought last Saturday;

Etude house: Petit Bijou Peach Touch (All-Over spray)
Nice scent, and nice bottle

It’s Etude House’s products! yeay!
They gave 50% discount for mask and all-pink items to celebrate Valentine *^0^*.
Left to Right;

1. Petit Bijou Peach Touch (All-Over spray)
2. Essence Mask Vitamin C
3. Aloe Vera Mask (very recommended item for sensitive skin!! )
4. Green Tea Mask
5. Honey Yogurt Wash-Off Mask

Since all of it was very in discount, the total price became so friendly. How I wish they had discount for the mask or other treatment product every months. Using their member card only gave me 10% discount and its like. . . I don’t need to pay the taxes but pay the original price in which was soooooo expensive >__< will give the review later after I use it (FYI, could be very long time since I still have much face mask -3-)

Last words, HAPPY VALENTINE! sorry it so late XDD I didn’t have any chance to touch my wordpress during that day >3

Skinfood’s wash-off mask

Lumierre Vhey — Sat, 12 Feb 2011 13:47:19 +0000

After last year I’m into foundation and powder (okay, maybe you can call me make-up freak but I’m not that freak na?) I’m into face mask this year! especially Skinfood’s. As you can see from the picture above that is my current Skinfood’s Wash-off mask collection. There are 4 of them;

Kiwi Yogurt Mask Wash-off
Black Sugar Mask Wash-off
Banana Yogurt Mask Wash-off
Rice Mask Wash-off

First of all, why I choose Skinfood? well, because it suites my skin and most their product contain natural ingredient in which! even a super sensitive skin can use it. Even if it damages your skin, it can’t cause serious one. This far, Black sugar and Banana Yogurt have been my favourite from all. Its not that the remaining 2 is bad. Banana Yogurt really suites my sensitive skin well. It reduces redness and pimples but personally, I don’t like the smell its just not me *laugh* it helps alot in soothing my skin and somehow made me relaxs.

As for Black Sugar, in one use, it helps reduce my white heads and bit of black heads. I don’t like the smell either and the texture different from the others mask. It is hard well, its sugar, no? D: but see the effect! it exfoliates well and enriched with mineral and vitamins. I used this . . . twice, sometimes four times a week after cleanse my face. Usually at night to relaxs my body, mind and soul *is kick*

For now, I can’t give any review for Kiwi Yogurt. Bad mask, it haven’t give me any effect :p all I can tell you is, It have a very strong scent. Last one, the Rice Mask. I really love it! I used it twice a week after cleanse. My skin feel much smoother after it and it brighten the dark spot caused by my previous pimples. No wonders this one become Skinfood’s top selling product till now

Using Skinfood’s product really improve my skin a lot, especially it textures, become more and more smoother. It makes my keep touching/rubbing my skin eventhough I know its bad especially if you have pimples haha . Oh, and this was my January’s products list. Yes yes, I know I’m late but as for me, it better I tests the product first then write the review ^ ^

Etude House : Anti-Wrinkle Treatment
Missha : BB Cream
Skinfood: Carrot Collagen Eyes sheet
Missha : Fruits Mix Sheet Mask Berry Juice
Skinfood : Kiwi Yogurt Mask Wash-off
Skinfood : Banana Yogurt Mask Wash-off
Skinfood : Black Sugar Mask Wash-off

that’s it for now, byeeee ^ ^

cantabile!

Lumierre Vhey — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 11:42:27 +0000

Last Thursday, I went to Balai Sarbini to watch a musical concert or orchestra held by Mr. Addie MS. Since the student’s tickets totally sold out, we bought the silver ticket (IDR 250.000). Kinda expensive huh? but worth it, my dear readers! why? because Mr. Addie MS invited some amazing pianist like Levi Gunardi and Kazuha Nakahara. I personally love Ms. Nakahara’s play because she really played it like Cantabile (in musical term, it means singing) Her gesture, mimic, all of them! she’s really INTO the pieces and brought us to her world . I would like to post some information regarding the concert but unfortunately I’m too late, when I opened Twilite Orchestra’s official page, they’ve disable the information link. So I can only give the this pictures hehe XDD
