SURPRISE FROM THE BODY SHOP INDONESIA

اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَا تُهُ

Two weeks ago I made a post about routine facial treatment products. There I exposed each products that I use to take care my skin face, my facial wash product, face moisturizer products, and eye skin treatment products. That post is not complete yet since girls have lotsa face treatment products to take care their face, their asset to face the the world. So, here is the the part two of To Do This Weekend: Face Treatment post. Keep scrolling, Lovelies ;)

You can read the first part of To Do This Weekend: Face Treatment (Part 1) here.

// Face Paper and Make Up Remover

1. Clean & Clear Oil Control Film, the name of the product itself already explain the function of this product. I need this product when I have lotsa activities in a day. I don't use this everyday because my face does not produce excess oil everyday. I need my oil control film only under some circumstances, such as when I need to retouch make up at night or when I have heavy outdoors activities.

2. Maybelline New York Make Up Remover, this product is efficient and easy to instantly removes all eye and lip make up, even waterproof make up. But I have a plan to leave this product because I heard organic coconut oil is good to remove any make up product. Sorry my Maybelline New York Make Up Remover, you are a good product but lately I'm looking for natural or natural ingredient products to take care of my skin face. Since it is so hard to find organic coconut oil in my country, I'm still using this make up remover until now. Hehe.

3. The Body Shop Vitamin E Gentle Facial Cleansing Wipes, this product is my favorite to instantly removes my make up when I am toooooo tired to do all face cleansing ritual. It is a tissue so all I need is just grab one tissue prom the packaging then wipe the tissue all over my face. This product cleanse, tone and moisturize in one wipes. How can I not love this product.

// Face Toner

1. Nivea Visage Aqua Effect Refreshing Toner, I apply this product after washing my face. It gives refreshing sensation in our skin also moisturize the skin with Vitamin E ingredient in it.

2. La Rambla Apple Cider Vinegar, my favourite natural and yummy face toner. Apple Vinegar is good to balance the ph in our skin. Because the smell of apple vinegar is not really so I just apply this think when I am on holiday, that is why this is one of my favourite face treatment product a weekend. Mix apple cider vinegar with water and apply it as face toner. Besides moisturize the skin, balancing skin ph, it is also perfect to fight acnes. In addition you can also apply cider vinegar for hair, body, mask, cooking, scar, etc. Going to share about another function of apple cider vinegar at another blog post.

// Face Treatment

1. The Body Shop Tea Tree Face Mask, I apply this face mask every weekend to cools and lifts away impurities. Easy to apply and it is not going to dry on your skin. This face mask does not stop me from singing, talking, giggling, eating, laughing, etc after I apply it on to my skin face.

2. Honey, I think I don't need to explain how magical this thing is. I apply it as face mask and lip balm. I can also mix it with another natural mask such as egg, yogurt, fruits, etc when I am in the mood to blend all those natural ingredient, when I am not I just simply rub the honey gently on my skin face around 15 minutes after that I washed my face and apply my The Body Shop Tea Tree Face Mask (see Face Treatment point 1).

3. Biore Cleansing Strips Pore Pack, after I apply point 1 and 2, I simply put this products to removes blackheads from my nose. My favorite is the one in black packaging, while another packaging from Biore pore pack does not strong enough to removes blackheads from my nose.

4. Acnes Sealing Jell, this is my weapon to fight a naughty pimples on my face. Just put it at night and it works in the morning. The pimples is dry and shrink.

5. Oriflame Pure Nature Purifying Blemish Solver, to removes blemish on face. It is also good to drain small pimples. Unfortunately it is so hard to find this product now since I don't have any friends selling Oriflame products anymore. 

6. Garnier Multi-Action Whitening Peel-Off Mask. I use this face mask after a heavy days outside or when I feel my skin face is really dirty. I apply it every 2 weeks or just once in a month. This mask is good to removes dead skin and impurities that darken our skin face.

7. Carapelli Extra Virgin Olive Oil, I use this per two weeks to moisture my face because olive oil is a heavy oil so I did not apply it too often onto my skin face. I use this to scrub my face, lips, and my body after i mix it with sugar or tea or coffee or salt. I also apply it as lip balm, hair mask, and for cooking of course.

So, that is all about my To Do This Weekend: Face Treatment (Part 2) blog post. I will definetely share another face treatment product when I found another good products for skin face. Stay tuned, Lovelies :)   

اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَا تُهُ

Talking about skin face treatment, I prefer to take care of my skin face, doing some home made face treatment and using natural ingredients cosmetics rather than just covering and hiding it from it's problem from outside. Why choose to look so pretty outside while actually we got so many skin face problem behind the make up. 

This time I'm going to share about some home made face treatment and what I am wearing everyday to take care of my skin face. Facial wash, face mask, moisturizer, anti ageing serum, eye cream, everything, you name it :)

Naturally I love love eating any kind of fruits and vegetables and beans and fish and another good food that give healthy impact to myself. Unfortunately I don't like drinking water, I know that is not good and until now I'm still pushing myself to drink 8 glass per day. For more I am not smoking and actually I hate being passive smoker.

Besides treating my skin face from the inside I also treats it from the outside. I wore some skin care products for face. I'm trying to use products with natural ingredients to take care of my face. Here they are:

// Facial Wash

I'm wearing Nivea Sparkling White Facial Foam for my everyday face wash day and night. My skin face feels so clean after washing my face with it, it is not drying my skin face, does not caused pimples, I felt moistures. I've tried many facial wash brands since junior high school, some brands drying my skin face, some others caused pimples and some others leaving unclean feeling each time I finish washing my face. But Nivea Sparkling White Facial Foam is just perfect for my skin. Eventhough actually I prefer the smell of this product before it change it's packaging and enhance the formula. 

I ever got so many pimples on face because I wore expired face mask that I didn't realize. I thought I should do something to make all the pimples go away from my face. So I changed my facial foam to Acnes Facial Foam because I heard that Acnes brand is good for acne care, I already tried them for two months but nothing happen to my face. All those pimples stayed there mocked at me. I decided to go back to Nivea Sparkling White Facial Foam and magically those pimple gone away from my face just like in a week. Since that I fall in love more and more to this facial foam.  

// Face Moisturizer

1. The Body Shop Vitamin E Face Mist, to protects, moistures, and refresh my face. I wore it at the very beginning of my daily make up ritual or as the finish touch to complete my daily make up routine. 

2. The Body Shop Nutriganics Drops Of Youth, a pre-serum to revitalise my skin from ageing process and enhance surface skin renewal. Usually I apply it in the morning and before going to bed at night sometimes. Read my complete review about this product click here.

3. POND'S Gold Radiance Precious Youth Serum, face serum to stay young forever. Really love the real gold micro particles in it. I apply it in the morning after my pre-serum. 

4. Wardah Sunscreen Gel SPF 30. I wore it only when I need to do so many outdoor activities to protect my face from the naughty sun radiance.

5. The Body Shop All-In-One Instablur. My secret agent to instantly look perfect in every special moment and to control my make up from day to night. Who needs Camera 360 filter? I definitely uninstalled that photo application after I found this magical product. Oh, in case you are wondering the tale about Instablur, you can check my complete review about it click here.

6. The Body Shop Vitamin E Aqua Boost Sorbet. This product is my muse for daily moisturizer every morning. It is light and absorbs quickly to my skin face. I apply this after all those pre-serum and serum. Always feels like my skin eating it's yummy dessert each time I apply this Vitamin E Aqua Boost Sorbet. And after this my skin is ready for make up time. (Surely going to review about this product and also going to make a blog post about my daily make up routine. Stay tuned :* )

// Eye Skin Treatment

1. The Body Shop Moisture White Shiso 2-in-1 Whitening Eye Cream. This eye cream brighthens eye area and reduce the appearance of fatigue signs. I apply it in the at night after I put it in the refrigerator a whole day to get fresh and cold feeling to my eye skin. Heaven touch for a tired feeling after all my activities everyday. I also reviewed about Shiso 2-in-1 Whitening Eye Cream click here.

2. Nature Republic Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel. Actually this product has a lotsaaa functions. We can apply it to face, our hair, body, nails, eye skin, burned skin, etc. One of my favourite things to do with this gel is to put it as soothing gel to my eyes every weekend. Just simply put the gel on make up cotton and then put it onto my face. Heaven knows the feeling of the soothing sensation of this aloe vera gel! (Wait my review about this product).

// Another Face Treatment

1. TO BE CONTINUED...

That is all for this time, I don't want this blog post become a super looooong blog post about face tratment. So, Wait for the second part of my face treatment blog post the next weekend, Peeps. I am going to share about face toner, face mask, comedos removal, make up removal, and acne care. Stay tuned ;)

Hi there,

Sebelum aku membahas soal All-In-One Instablur review dari The Body Shop, aku mau ngebahas soal "selfie" dulu karena berhubungan erat dengan produk yang akan aku review. Kata "selfie" pasti sudah engak asing lagi terdengar di telinga kita. Selfie itu sejenis potret diri (self portrait) yang dilakukan dengan kamera yang dipegang sendiri atau dengan bantuan tongsis (tongkat narsis/selfie stick) yang tetap dipegang sendiri juga. 

Tahun ini rasanya aku jarang banget selfie, too busy for a selfie. Hehe. Dulu bengong dikit, meskipun belum pake hape dengan kamera depan tapi suka banget selfie, giliran pakai hape yang ada kamera depan malah dianggurin. Mungkin aku sudah masuk fase "I've been there" atau mungkin capek tiap ngeliat hasil fotonya ada aja yang nggak pas plus harus mengedit foto dengan berbagai aplikasi filter foto di gadget biar terlihat hasil selfie-nya flawless.

Sekitar 2 bulan yang lalu aku nyobain All-In-One Instablur dari The Body Shop di sebuah beauty workshop yang diadain oleh Female Daily Network x The Body Shop Indonesia. (Read about the workshop here). Sejak itu tiap kali aku pakai Instablur, kalau biasanya berkali-kali mengambil foto selfie karena ngerasa selalu ada yang kurang dari hasil fotonya, sekarang berkali-kali selfie karena emang seneng liat hasilnya, meskipun pasang ekspresi jelek tapi tetep kece aja muka ini rasanya. 

Makhluk ajaib apa sih All-In-One Instablur itu?

All-In-One Instablur merupakan salah satu produk terkini dari The Body Shop yang berfungsi untuk menyamarkan kekurangan pada kulit wajah seperti pori-pori yang besar, noda di wajah sehingga kulit wajah kita terlihat flawless di foto. Instablur nggak membuat wajah kita seperti memakai topeng tapi tetap terlihat natural. 

Ini nih aksi All-In-One Instablur:

All-In-One Instablur mengandung formula yang unik yaitu mattyfying spherical powders yang berfungsi membantu kulit terlihat matte (tidak mengkilap). Bentuknya mirip gel, tapi lebih kental dan agak padat karena mengandung bubuk bedak. All-In-One Instablur juga mengandung vitamin E yang berfungsi sebagai antioksidan dan menangkal radikal bebas. Formula unik terakhir yang terkandung dalam Instablur adalah marula oil dari pohon Marula yang tumbuh di Namibia Utara, Afrika, yang berkhasiat menjaga kelembapan kulit. Katanya sih, Marula oil itu merupakan rahasia kecantikan para wanita di Afrika.

Pada dasarnya All-In-One Instablur itu merupakan produk primer, yaitu produk kecantikan yang berfungsi untuk mempersiapkan kulit menerima riasan. Semacam foundation gitu, cuma kalau foundation ada pigmen warnanya, Instablur enggak memiliki pewarna. Jadi basically, Instablur bisa dipakai oleh siapapun dengan jenis kulit apa pun.

How to apply All-In-One Instablur?

Pemakaiannya sebenarnya easy peasy, cukup dengan mengoleskan Instablur pada wajah. Hanya saja perlu ekstra hati-hati ketika kita menekan tubenya karena tekstur gelnya yang cenderung padat dan menggumpal. Setelah itu aplikasikan pada lima titik wajah, dahi, hidung, kedua pipi, dan dagu dan ratakan dengan lembut.


Ini video yang aku buat untuk memperlihatkan cara mengaplikasikan Instablur dan melihat perbandingan antara kulit wajah yang memakai instablur dan yang tidak. Sayangnya karena pencahayaan perbandingannya enggak terlalu kelihatan di video. Tapi aku sudah meng-capture perbandingannya dengan kamera sehingga bisa lebih jelas terlihat.

Beberapa orang merasa nyaman hanya dengan menggunakan All-In-One Instablur tanpa make up tambahan lain seperti bedak. Karena Instablur sendiri sudah mengandung bubuk bedak.

Instablur tetap dapat diaplikasikan bersama dengan rangkaian produk make up sehari-harimu. 

Hari ini, aku menggunakan pre-serum Drops of Youth, kemudian dilanjutkan dengan menggunakan moisturizer, All-In-One Instablur, All-In-One Face Base, Blush on, eyebrow pencil, dan lip balm untuk tampilan make up yang natural.

How does it works for me?

1. Hasilnya instant, such a magic natural filter 
2. Menghasilkan tampilan yang matte pada wajah
3. Nggak perlu sering-sering touch up
4. Nggak perlu pake face paper
5. Community fair trade
6. Dengan fungsinya yang magical itu, harga Rp 299.000,- untuk kemasan 25ml masih oke.
7. Kalau sudah habis kemasannya bisa ditukar sama point :)

اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَا تُهُ

اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَا تُهُ

Hello,

have your read my blog post about the beauty workshop I attended that held by Female Daily x The Body Shop Indonesia? You can read it here by the way. That day I brought some products for free when going back home and this time I'm going to review one of the product I luckily got from the workshop. It is The Body Shop Moisture White Shiso 2 in 1 Brightening Eye Cream review time, Everybody ;)

I'm thinking about mixing English and Bahasa Indonesia to write the review so it will be easier to understand since I found so little review about Moisture White Shiso 2 in 1 Brightening Eye Cream in my mother language and I wish this post will be read mostly by Indonesian. Let's start :)

Hampir semua orang terutama cewek pasti sepakat kalau panda itu salah satu hewan paling cute di dunia, tapi sayangnya enggak ada yang mau punya lingkaran "mata panda" nan eksotis itu. Mata panda (puffy eyes) sendiri merupakan istilah untuk menyebut lingkaran hitam di sekitar mata biasanya di kulit bagian bawah mata selain itu mata panda bisa juga berupa kantung mata, jadi matanya seperti ada kantung biasanya di kulit mata bagian bawah. Mata panda biasanya disebabkan karena kurangnya waktu tidur, faktor usia, make up yang nggak dibersihkan, sinar matahari, aliran darah yang kurang lancar, atau memang karena keturunan. 

Aku sendiri nggak terlalu merasa bermasalah dengan mata panda karena aku berkacamata, jadi mata pandanya nggak terlalu kelihatan. Heheh. Padahal kulit di area bawah mataku agak kusam dan kayak agak cekung gitu karena pakai kacamata dari kelas 6 SD. Nah, pas enggak pakai kacamata area mata jadi pusat perhatian banget. Minus mataku juga hampir masuk kategori tinggi, hampir minus 5 jadi matanya cepat capek kalau kelamaan liat komputer. Terus aku juga mudah terharu, jadi matanya bengkak deh karena patah hati nangis. Hehe. Makanya aku seneng banget waktu dikenalin sama Moisture White Shiso 2 in 1 Brightening Eye Cream sama tim The Body Shop Indonesia. 

Moisture White Shiso 2 in 1 Brightening Eye Cream adalah krim mata dengan sensasi dingin yang bisa mencerahkan dan melembabkan kulit di sekitar mata, jadi kulit di sekitar mata bakal terasa lembut dan warna gelap mata panda akan menjadi cerah merata juga membantu mengurangi rasa lelah di area sekitar mata. 

Moisture White Shiso 2 in 1 Brightening Eye Cream mengandung Shiso, Vitamin C, liquorice, dan organic aloe vera. Jadi apakah shiso itu? Shiso itu bukan deterjen pemutih ya, Guys, kalau deterjen pemutih namanya Rinsyhoo. 

Shiso itu tanaman tradisional Jepang bentuknya mirip dengan daun mint. Shiso bisa mengurangi proses awal pembentukan melanin kulit dan sebagai anti bacterial. Minggu kemaren aku mencoba mengorek-ngorek salah satu swalayan Jepang tapi enggak nemu Shiso, hehe.

Ini nih yang namanya daun shiso, mirip yah sama daun mint, cuma daun shiso lebih lebar.
Pict from here

Vitamin C gunanya untuk membantu mencerahkan karena sifatnya membantu mengurangi produksi melanin berlebih. 

Liquorice fungsinya untuk meningkatkan tingkat kecerahan warna kulit. 

Aloe Vera a.k.a lidah buaya sudah pasti berfungsi sebagai pemberi rasa segar dan sejuk di kulit, melembabkan, dan mencegah kulit iritasi.

Nah kebayang kan kalau mereka semua bersatu, pastinya ampuh merawat, menjaga, dan mencerahkan kulit di sekitar mata kita dari penggelapan karena proses pigmentasi, mencerahkan, dan melembabkan. So sweet, eh?

Aku baru menggunakan Moisture White Shiso 2 in 1 Brightening Eye Cream selama hampir tiga minggu karena kalau kalian membaca blogku, mataku agak bermasalah kemaren dan jadi lebih sensitif. Makanya aku cari tahu dulu semua kandungan yang ada di Moisture White Shiso 2 in 1 Brightening Eye Cream baru aku berani pakai rutin soalnya enak banget dipakainya apalagi sehabis beraktivitas seharian. Plus aku juga baca di web The Body Shop Australia kalau eye cream ini lulus opthamologically tested (yang artinya memiliki sertifikasi aman digunakan di sekitar area mata). Jadi cocok digunakan untuk semua jenis kulit dan pengguna contact lens. Yaay!


Selama tiga minggu ini aku merasa bagian hitam di bawah mataku lebih cerah. Terus matanya juga terasa lebih relax. Hooray! Seneng banget, sayangnya aku nggak bisa sering-sering lagi pakai soft lense, karena sekarang matanya jadi agak sensitif. Tapi nggak apa-apa setidaknya kacamata yang aku pakai bukan kacamata two in one lagi, membantu melihat dan menutupi mata panda. Sekarang fungsi kacamatanya memang pure sebagai alat bantu melihat ;)

How Does It Looks Like?

Moisture White Shiso 2 in 1 Brightening Eye Cream dikemas dalam tube putih 15ml handy banget untuk dibawa-bawa plus tutupnya ada dratnya jadi nggak perlu takut tutupnya tiba-tiba kebuka. Yang unik dari eye cream ini adalah premium metal micro aplicator-nya yang berfungsi untuk memberi sensasi pijatan pada area kulit sekitarmata sehingga melancarkan sirkulasi darah di area tersebut.

Creamnya sendiri ringan banget dan mudah meresap di kulit, nggak berminyak juga. Baunya sih standar bau kosmetik gitu biasanya bau foundation dan bb cream, bau rempah gitu, (bingung euy deskripsiin baunya, hehe) tapi baunya nggak kuat dan nggak terlalu tercium karena pakainya di area mata, jauh dari area pusat penciuman kita.

How to Apply it?

Cara pakainya, tekan tubenya dengan penuh perasaan sampai creamnya muncul sedikit di ujung aplikatornya, untuk satu mata kita butuh eye cream nggak lebih dari sebesar kacang hijau, dikit aja, bukan karena pelit loh, tapi karena kalau terlalu banyak nanti jadi susah pengaplikasiannya. Setelah creamnya muncul aplikasikan dengan gentle a.k.a lembut dan perlahan dimulai dari area kulit mata bawah dari bagian dalam sudut mata dekat hidung sambil digerakkan ke arah kelopak atas mata, ulangi sampai eye creamnya meresap. Kemudian lakukan hal yang sama pada mata yang satu lagi.

Terus biar hasilnya lebih maksimal eye creamnya bisa dipakai siang dan malam, kalau siang bisa digunakan setelah menggunakan serum sebelum mengaplikasikan make up. Aku lebih suka pakai malam hari, karena enak aja gitu sehabis matanya dikasih eye cream, dipijat, terus dibawa tidur. Yummy!

Untuk efek pemakaian yang lebih asoy, Moisture White Shiso 2 in 1 Brightening Eye Cream nya dinginin dulu di dalam kulkas. Pas mata capek, pake deh eye creamnya, nyessss banget di kulit mata. Matanya jadi relax, ngurangin capek mata sehabis seharian beraktivitas. Sebelum diaplikasiin ke mata, jangan lupa mukanya dibersihin dulu loh ya, Guys. Sehabis digunakan jangan lupa bersihkan aplikatornya ya, cukup dengan tissue kering aja biar tetap kering dan higienis. Gunakan hanya dalam waktu tiga bulan setelah kemasan dibuka.

Here, I made a video on how to apply this eye cream, enjoy:

1. Light, mudah meresap di kulit.
2. Mencerahkan, melembabkan kulit di sekitar area mata, meskipun butuh waktu
3. Sensasi pijatan dari aplikatornya ampuh menghilangkan capek pada mata
4. memperlambat pembentukan melanin
5. Nature ingredients
6. Opthamologically tested
7. Community fair trade
8. Very handy, travel pack
9. Easy to get, di seluruh The Body Shop Indonesia, or you can purchase online.

1. Pemakaiannya agak tricky, jadi harus hati-hati banget biar nggak terlalu keras nekan tube-nya
2. A bit pricey at the price Rp 399.000,-
3. Nggak ada ingredients di eye cream tube nya, jadi mesti googling dulu.
