hiyaaahh. maafkan bnr2 gak sempet posting even a post, been so buusssyyy with my college life (elah).

okay. so, my mom just came back from Australia, she made an achievement with her group (MCI, nano spray) and as the lucky daughter, i asked her to bring me some beauty goodies.

sebenernya, ngarepinnya itu USA brands kaya e.l.f, nyx, benefit,dll. dengan pertimbangan disana lebih murah dan terjamin keasliannya. why?

1. ngarepin dari olshop2 yang jadi perantara shopping online directly from the US itu agak bikin bete karena lamaaaaaaa dan mereka naikin harga bisa ratusan ribu :''

2. beli di konter harganya muahal dan jauh dari lokasi (Bogor/Jatinangor)

3. ada yang murah - murah, tapi yaa, KW ORI (mau ngakunya ori,super, tetep aja kan KW?)

but sadly, disana pun harganya nggak murah, dan agak sulit juga nyarinya, harus online dll. so aku mutusin buat beli aja produk lokal disana.

my aunty recommended me some websites. www.priceline.com.au, www.missha.com.au, and www.adorebeauty.com.au.

missha itu korean brand yang lumayan terkenal di luar, harganya pun agak maharani cin. sekitar 20dolaran.

adorebeauty provides most USA brands, but still pricy :( 10-60AUD

dan akhirnya pilihan jatuh ke priceline. ini pharmacy gitu kalo disini kaya guardian. nah mereka nyediain makeup lumayan lengkap, harga menengah lah. ada kok yang 2 dolar

oke, sodisini hampir semua merk lokal, kaya SAVVY, BeautyEssentials, Model'sPrefer(MP), dll. ga pernah dengersebelumnya, jadi ragu sih. tapi harganya reasonable dan bener2 dapet barang yang oke.

so here's what my mom bought for me:

1. SAVVY perfect finish loose powder shade translucent 00

i reccomend this one. pertama bingung sih, kan gak pernah pake loose powder sebelumnya, dan liat merk Rimmel "Stay Matte",atau Ben Nye itu kok kayanya ga se"berwarna"ini.

tapi setelah dipakai, smoooth sekali hasilnya dan bener ga keliatan pake bedak, dan emang aku butuh ini buat set makeupku yang pasti luntur di Jatinewyork yang sangat panas ini:)

here's the pic of the product and the swatch. lupa harganya baerapa. i think around 8 or 9 AUD

RATING : 9/10

2. SAVVY value set Concealer and pressed powder.

5AUD. and simply does the job.i got mine in dark.  the concealer is amazing. liquid, tapi agak creamy, so enak banget dipakai, dan coveragenya juga bagus. the colour suits me.cocok buat bawah mata, komedo,redness di hidung.

tapi sayangnya, the pressed powder is kinda too dark for me. jadi leher dan muka keliatan banget belangnya. terus gampang banget meleleh, jadi muka berminyak dan ga enak. but still, $5 is a good price for these products.

hampir lupa, ini travel size. kecil dan ringkas banget. the pack of the powder is sooo tiny and cuteee.

RATING :

concealer : 8/10

pressed powder : 6/10

*anyway, the pic below is in medium shade. mine is in dark and a bit darker than this one, look at the cute packaging!!*

3. SAVVY Liquid Liner & Eyeshadow in Mocha & Espresso 2.0 pack

$5 untuk satu paket ini. ga cuma packagingnya aja yang cute banget, isinya pun (for me) very very gooodddd. soo pigmented like you never expected. tadinya mikir, ah paling sebentar juga ilang.

ternyata ini bertahan lama banget di mata, even gak pake primer (baru aja abis..hiks).

that was from the eyeshadow.

it didn't surprise me. and took a loooooong time to dry. and yaa the colour doesn't show up. jadi kaya ga pake eyeliner aja......

but still, it can be smudged and used as an eyeshadow (tingting)

RATING : 

eyeliner : 5/10

eyeshadow : 8/10 (wish the shade suits me more)

this one is mine and the swatches

4. SAVVY Shadow Pigment Duo in Seedling & Pebble 2.0 pack

shadow pigment? baru pernah denger :" pas difoto sama nyokap, udah kecewa duluan karena ngira dibeliin kutek. eh ternyata ini liquid glitter gitu. lucu banget, bisa dipake jadi eyeshadow,bisa juga dipake buat pipi ato bahkan badan biar bling bling gimana gitu.....

the only problem is it's kinda hard to use. mleber kemana mana gitu lho..jadi berantakan..

dan sangat susah dihapus... karena butirannya menyebar kemana mana, so i prefer use this as a body glitter

RATING : 7/10
