Hi!! Its been some time since my first post about my splurge on Althea. Anyway, my last semester in my college has started since monday so i've been busy thinking about my final project topic 😂 (God help me please), but today since i have afternoon class i think its fair to fill my activity by telling review about sunblock ive been recently using these past months. I will tell you the truth no matter what, im not endorsed (like what, who am i anyway? 😁) so i hope you guys will find this post helpful and enjoy read my blog. Lets get started! --to be noticed my skin is oily-- First is Neutrogena UltraSheer SPF 50, i heard a lot of good reviews about this brand and one of them is their sunblock. This brand is not yet available in Indonesia so i followed an account that sells this on Instagram. But the price is killing me so i decided to wait until my Melanox is finished (yes, i used Melanox first than this one). Anyway God always be very good to me since my boyfriend spoiled me by offering to bought me this when we were in Malaysia last week HAHAHA and the price is lot wayyy cheaper than i saw online 😛 (Thanks God and my babyy boyyy). I used this straight away when i arrived in Bandung and VOILA I LOVE IT!! Advantages: 1. The texture is very lightweight, it caused no problem to my oily skin. Its easy to absorb and doesnt dry out my skin even after long time used. 2. The smell is nice, it has natural fragrance that wont stucking your nose from breathing. 3. Its SPF 50 YO!!! Means 98% of my face has protected 4. The price is suitable for the size this big ughhhh! 5. Not only for face this also can be use for body which is very flexible WOW Disadvantage : 1. Has not yet available in Indonesia which makes me cry to think about how im gonna repurchase this 😭 2. The size is a little bit bigger for travelling but its okaiii thooo Rating : 4/5 💖💖💖💖 Continue to review Melanox SPF 30 sunblock. I used this since december. When i went to supermarket with my mom i saw this sunblock and begged her to buy me this😂. The reason why i bought this was because i saw good reviews about this brand so i pushed myself to begged my mom even her face already gonna kill me 😭 but YES she bought it anyway 😍 (love you mom). Then i found myself everyday admiring this product. Advantages: 1. Cute small size which is easy to bring anywhere 2. Easier to find in Indonesia (Guardian, Watsons, Supermarket) 3. The price is cheaper than Neutrogena 4. I love how it keeps my skin being oily for about 5 hours or more 5. Also if im so lazy to do make up, im just gonna use this (because this also can be use as foundation--which tone up my skin brighter) and translucent powder than voila im ready to go! Disadvantages: 1. With the contents only 1/4 than Neutrogena the price is the half of it. 2. Its kinda hard if your face has blemish and need to cover up with your make up without looking too bright. You have to find correct tone to adjust your skin because this sunblock has already tone up your skin (you got it?) 3. Also i find this sooo matte from the texture. When i touched my face on the evening it was kind of scaly which is bad for dry or combination type of face. 4. Its only SPF 30 which means 96% of my face protected (face use only not for body) Rating: 3/5 💖💖💖 Actually its not fair to compare these two due to different SPF number but hey these are all ive got! So as the winner i choose Neutrogena!!!🎉🎉 but for repurchase if this is finished im gonna go buy Melanox then 😂. So do you agree with me? Share your comment below! Thanks for reading Love -Xi

Hi everyone! Im back with idea to fill in my blog content few hours ago when i finally took my Althea box just today... Let me list the products i purchased in order from the photos i uploaded and little opinions from me: 1. Etude Drawing Eye Brow in shade Dark Brown and Grey Brown. It comes with the spoolie and on the other side is the brow pensil itself. The brow pensil is shaped like eyebrow brush and thats why i like it! For color-test, application on my brows and furthermore will soon uploading in another post of mine 😛 2. Etude Wonder Pore Freshner. I've been dying to have this since i read lot of good reviews about this toner, because my face type is very oily i expect so much from this. I will soon review about the effect after using this for 2 weeks! 3. Innisfree NO-SEBUM Mineral Powder. As i know there are 2 types of these powders; one is pact and second is translucent. Mine is the second, i will use it to bake my under-eye part and blot my oily face. There is no color of this powder, it just gives me brightening effect. 4. Its My Puff Sponge. I was shocked when i saw this for the first time because it is in small shape! Look at my fingers holding it. I hate it how the website made it looked as big sized but its okayy! Its cute and i bought 3 straight away 😂😂 there are 3 colors blue, pink and purple but i didn't get the blue one 😢. 5. Aloe Vera Soothing Gel 92% Nature Republic. (This review will be quite long). GUYS FINALLY I HAVE THIS ONE! I once bought in online shop before i knew Althea but HEY IT WAS FAKE!!! Whereas the price was higher than Althea its so crazy 😢. There are lots of fake product of this one because many people say good reviews toward this. So the product became most famous product from its brand and people make the fake product of it, f**k ☺☺☺. This gel has 8 or 10 tips of how to apply this from head to toe (do your research) but i likely to use it as moisturizer and foot odor remover (i will add my tea tree essential oil). The texture is soo jelly and cool. I will soon uploading about this too after 2 weeks of using this product. ++ i will tell you the difference between real and fake aloe vera gel down below: a. Front part, real one is bright green colored, even the drops water-like shaped too. Meanwhile the fake one is dark green colored and the drops water-like shaped is a bit black. Notice The roundness that has hangul written, some says if its fake there is wrong position written on it so compare to the website first to see whether its real or no. I know its sooo lazy 😢 but hey i rather be noticed it before apply it to my face than apply dangerous ingredients to my face. b. This one is very noticable. The easiest to compare whether its real or fake is the real one has www.naturerepublic.com website and the fake one is www.naturerepublic.co.kr 6. Last but not least is Etude Mini Brow Class Stencils. I love make-up but im sucking balls at making my brows 😭 im so helpless everytime i made it by myself. I think i need this to help me making even eyebrows 😁😁. The stencils come with 3 shapes; high arch, low arch and straight brow like korean people. I haven't tried it yet since the box just came today but soon i will give little hint about how this stencil will work. Once again im so thankful i found Althea so i can shopping korean makeup easily and very cheap! Also they really have good packaging and sometimes still give you bonus too. See you on my next post ⭐🌠 Love -Xi

Introduction

Hi everyone! To join Tumblr that affiliated with Instagram to show or review things i like is the right decision i made this year. My purpose is nothing but to fill my activity rather than just lay down on my bed whole day. Everything i write here is like my diary; to tell what i've done/tried based on my experience and honest point of view. Note that every stuffs i purchase/things i do here use my own money so i dont try to please anyone but myself. Oh, i almost forgot that my real name is Niken Vidya Lestari and i will describe of what will i mostly write in here: 1. Make-up review : I love make-up since i was born (?) okay well since i was little i always curios of it but my serious stage of doing make-up started was freshmen year in 2013. Now looking the year goes by with lots of brands of make-up everywhere it will be easier for me to review make-up i personally BOUGHT/USED as my reminder whether this make-up is holygrail or nah. 2. Food show: Who doesn't love this one? I got inspiration from watching korean eating food in front of the camera called 'mukbang' that made my mouth can't be closed 👄. I love every foods from from luxurious ones to the ones sell in the stall on street and lets see could i make people who watch my food shows drooling? 3. Travelling experience: Im a student of travel department college so this one isn't rare thing for me. Starting this year i will travel with my own savings at least twice a year, stay tune! 4. Passionate writing: I love to read & write. My wish before i die is to publish my own fiction books. I like to write flashfiction with different genres and book review might be written to! 5. Exercising: Last but not least, err.... Im not sure about this one, starting this year i made crazy decision that i will move my ass to the gym class! Because it seems impossible to eat pizza and lay around in my 20(s) age yet still look sexy. So i enroll to gym, aerobic, yoga and zumba class and i will tell you how my body shape change after i do these activities. Wish me luck! 😂 *crying inside* I think its enough from me and im so open for suggestions, requests or positive critiques. My ears are deaf to hear any bad words towards me so i dont give a damn about it. 😝😜 Wait for my very first post, soon! -Xi
