Beauty Appetite by Jessica Simon

Wazzzzzzup!
I feel like I should review this Kiehl's Blue Herbal Moisturizer because I've never mentioned it in my blog, not even once! But I actually really love it, because as you know I have oily acne-prone skin. I had been dealing with acne for couple of months last year that's the reason I bought this along with the gel cleanser and the toner, but I've used up the cleanser and toner already. I didn't have severe acne but I just wanted to get rid of the acne, like, FAST...! So after the acne had gone, I stopped using this product but I keep coming back to this moisturizer every time zits like hormonal acne show up. So I really rely on this product and I know I could count on this bad boy!


What it claims:

  • Mattifies skin, reducing the appearance of pores and leaving skin with a matte, hydrated appearance and texture
  • Non-comedogenic formulation helps prevent new acne blemishes from forming
If you have super oily skin, which is kinda uncomfortable because you will feel really greasy by the end of the day, especially in hot and humid weather, or if you have severe acne that you want to get rid of, I would say, go get this! It's really helpful in treating acne, it dries up acne but doesn't make my skin feels dry at all, it works a lot better than my Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil Free Moisturizer to mattify the skin!


It's cost me IDR 290,000 when I bought it, but they have new price of IDR 305,000 if I'm not wrong for 100ml of goodies. If you want to get rid of your acne quickly, buy the whole Blue Herbal line, from the gel cleanser, toner/lotion, this moisturizer and the spot treatment, because all of them are specially formulated for acne prone skin. I've used all of them in the past, and I think they're all great products :)

Key Ingredients:
Cinnamon Bark Extract is taken from the dried bark of cultivated trees and is considered to be of much higher quality than extract derived from leaves. It contains an essential oil that is not only recognized for its soothing effects, but is also known to have antibacterial properties. Sodium PCA is a naturally occurring humectant in the skin, partly responsible for the skin's moisture-binding capacity. It is derived from amino acids and is highly water absorbing. Due to its moisture-binding ability, is a high performance humectant which increases the skin's softness when added to products.


It has cooling sensation when you apply it on your skin, I don't know if it's the product or because I always keep it in my air-conditioned room all time hahahah. It also has faint smell, but nothing too unbearable though.


If you want to try out Kiehl's products before buying anything, I recommend you to go to this link where you can get skin consultation and get gree 5 samples of Kiehl's products. Every sample will last for couple of days, so you will know which product suits your skin. It's a great way to try new products before buying the full size ones :) LUCYS Challenge (Let Us Change Your Skin) will end on 15th July 2014, so make sure to participate if you haven't!!

Hi there!
If you followed me on instagram, then you should have known already that I did a little bit of shopping at theBalm, I bought couple of stuffs, one of them is Mary-Lou Manizer. Unless you've been living under a rock for the last couple of years, then you must have heard about this amazing product! I've been wearing it nonstop since I bought it... This baby has literally changed my whole makeup look.


Adorable names, cute packagings, and great products really describe theBalm and they're quite affordable too! Actually theBalm has other shade of highlighter which is the Cindy-Lou Manizer, sister's of Mary-Lou (how cute is that!!), but I decided to pick Mary-Lou because the color is neutral gold where Cindy-Lou has a lot more pinkish tone.

Mary-Lou Manizer will look great on every skin tone, even if you're fair, even if you're dark, this highlighter will look amazing on your skin! It creates a subtle glow on your skin, making your skin look so radiant and healthy :)


theBalm describes it as:
a seemingly innocent honey-hued luminizer that catches everybody’s eye. This highlighter, shadow and shimmer diffuses light so your skin looks softer and younger while adding a subtle glow.

As mentioned above, besides using it as highlighter, you can also use it as shadow and shimmer, which I think it'd be very handy especially for traveling, so you don't have to bring loads of makeup. I like to use it on the bridge of my nose, on my cupid's bow, under my brow bone, and in the corner of my eyes.

The texture is really soft, smooth and creamy like butter! It's also extremely pigmented, you can get a subtle glow or an intense shimmer, depending on how you apply it on your skin. If you want subtle glow, use only tiny bit of product on your brush, tap off the excess, then dust it off your highlighted areas like cheekbones, nose bridge, cupid's bow, etc etc. If you want an intense shimmer, don't forget to blend, blend, blend, or it will be so obvious and you end up looking like Edward Cullen on Twilight movie (if you haven't watched the movie yet, just a little heads up: he sparkles under the sun, which we want to avoid).


Some of people will avoid products with shimmer in it, I mean I did that in the past. But rest assured, the shimmer in this product is teeny tiny, you won't even realize it because it only create beautiful sheen, so gorgeous!! My favorite thing to do with this highlighter is to apply it over my blush on the apples of my cheeks, and not on the cheek bones. If you apply it this way, it will create an absolute beautiful glow that looks like it glows from within.

Zoomed in:

As you can see on the photo above, the shimmer particle is sooo tiny, it's not noticeable at all, so don't worry, ok?! The longevity is superb, it lasts all day long on me.

Swatches:

Some photos of me using Mary-Lou Manizer:

You can see subtle glows on my nose bridge, cupid's bow and apples of the cheeks.


Took this picture at night, had been using Mary-Lou for more than 6 hours, however you still can see the glows on my cheek bones, forehead and nose bridge.

I really recommend this product, especially if you're new to highlighter and don't know which highlighter shade to buy. Be really careful since the product is so pigmented, use little bit of product on your brush then build the color to your liking. It comes in big packaging so it worth every penny, and will last you forever.

Rating: ★★★★★
Price: $$$$$ ($24.00)
Size: 8.5g
Repurchase: Yes

I just want to say thank you, thank you, THANK YOU so much for you guys who had came to Kiehl's event with me!! I was really excited to meet you guys and I'm so glad to finally met you guys in person. I really appreciate to those who already sent me the RSVP and actually came, I hope you learned something in this event and also had fun :) And also thanks to Kiehl's who made this happened, especially Irma (Brand Manager Kiehl's) & Galuh, because I'm absolutely nothing without their amazing help!! I am beyond thankful *happy tears*


The event took place at their first ever Kiehl's boutique in Jakarta, Mall Kelapa Gading 2. The main topic in the event was their infamous Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution Serum that I also had been using for the last couple of months, you can read the progress of me using that product here. So basically we learned how to get clearer and brighter skin, because dull skin, hyper pigmentation and also dark spots are some of our main concerns, am I right?

Thank you for your time & effort to come to this event! :)

I was so happy to see all of you really excited to get skin consultation and asked the KCR which Kiehl's products suit your skin best. After all we are just girls who care about our skins, because skin is our investment hahah!

Some beautiful faces that I took pictures with:

I also took a pic with Jesan, one of Kiehl's ambassador. I recognized his face because I saw his photos all over Kiehl's website and facebook page, he's super friendly too! ;)

Found this polaroid photos of Kiehl's customers... Spot ME!!

I hope I can see you guys in another event!! :D
If you also want to be a part of Kiehl's event, make sure to follow their social medias so you won't miss any update. There is another event coming soon, if you're interested go check their tweet here!

I've finally tried these infamous pair of shampoo and conditioner from Mane 'N Tail. They have several types of shampoo and conditioner: Original (for all hair types), Deep Moisturizing (for dry hair), Gentle Clarifying (for volumizing), Color Protect (to protect hair color), and Daily Control (anti dandruff). I have dry hair because I like to color my hair and also style my hair using straightener or curling iron so I chose to try out the Deep Moisturizing ones!

I actually didn't know the first time I tried this shampoo and conditioner that they are specifically made for horses until my best friend Santi told me. I thought the horses reflection is the logo hahahah!! I'm pretty sure If I knew it before I got these, I'd be a little bit sceptic at first,... But since I have already tried the shampoo and conditioner, and love them and I got no problem after using them so I didn't judge them, not even a little bit. I mean horses are pretty, right? I heard celebrities like Jennifer Aniston, Demi Moore, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Kardashian use Mane 'N Tail too!

Mane 'N Tail comes in huge bottle with 355ml of product each that will last you for a really long time! Fortunately, you can also buy them in smaller bottles (100 ml each) at Miss Lie Collection so you can try them first before committing to big bottles :) Even the small bottles last for a long time, I wash my hair once every two days and they last me for about two months.

>>>ORDER NOW<<<


I really wish I could took picture every month while I'm using these shampoo and conditioner, because they are supposed to make your hair grow faster, and because I'm tall it's hard to recognize my hair growth day-by-day (for example: it takes longer time for me rather than a shorter girl to grow out hair until it reaches our waist), that's why I cannot say much about my hair growth, but I really love how these products make my hair looks shiny, I could see the difference only on the first couple of weeks!

FIRST WEEK:


SECOND WEEK:


THIRD WEEK:


My hair look so dark in the first week because I just dyed my hair to black. Can't you notice that these products give my hair extra shine? It looks a lot healthier. I didn't use any hair care product besides these two for the sake of the review. I always wash my hair with warm water to remove dirt and oil then rinse my hair with cool water to give it shine.

What I love the most about the shampoo is when I wash my hair and rinse it off, I feel that it deep cleanse my hair and my scalp thoroughly! I've never experienced anything like that with other shampoo before, and I really love the squeaky clean feeling.

And I also love the conditioner, because it doesn't feel slippery and greasy like other kind of conditioners that I've ever tried in my life! It helps to maintain my hair and also protect it from damage, I also notice that I don't have split ends as much as I used to.

Overall, I really enjoy using Mane 'N Tail Deep Moisturizing Shampoo & Conditioner for giving my hair shine and making my hair grow faster. As I told you earlier, if you want to try it out first you can get smaller bottles for share. For maximum result I recommend you to buy both of the shampoo and conditioner. You can get original products of Mane 'N Tail and other ready stock cosmetics at Miss Lie Collection.

Hi peeeeeepssss!! 
I've been loving monochromatic vibe recently, hence this look is black and white, but I chose to wear this cute cropped top that has a little pop of red with 'DAAMN' written on it to add just a little bit of color to this look.


I posted about this pair of platform sandals on my instagram last week and lots of you guys seem to like it!! I personally love them very much!!! They're extremely gorgeous and so so sooo comfortable, I could walk all day long wearing them...


I've been wearing these platform sandals non stop since I got them from DressV, they're well-made and I really love the clear heels, I think they're the perfect sandals for Summer :) You can search for your favorite summer sandals here, they have hundreds of adorable design sandals with affordable price! For example, this white sandals' market price is USD135.00 but DressV only sells them at USD45.99!! That's less that half the price O_O

Sorry I haven't posted anything for the last couple of days, I've been extremely busy with my thesis and I also had to work last weekend. But today I want to share about the last event I attended!! L'occitane launched lots of new products for Summer 2014 and I was invited to join the launching party along with other media and beauty bloggers. So here is the recap:

SKYE Bar & Restaurant
Menara BCA 56th Floor
Jl. M.H. Thamrin no. 1, Jakarta
Phone: +62-21 23586996

The event was held at SKYE Bar & Restaurant, the place is pretty cozy, the food is so so, I actually expected more because this restaurant is developed by Ismaya Group, but the view is great. If you wanted to come to SKYE, I recommend you to come at night and sit on the outdoor terrace, because the view is spectacular! But if you came in the afternoon, you'd better sit in the indoor area because I did sit outside and my hair & my makeup were ruined by the hot and humid weather hahah! (Thus, no selfie in this post)

The main ingredients of the new products are from Brazil, that's why the theme of the event was Brazil from the start to the end! The place was packed of people, we got a chance to try out their new products, we could also play limbo, do some face paint and watch some cool performances, the event was really fun!!

Those abs!

They're using two kinds of flowers, Jenipapo and Vitória Régia. But the cool thing is, Vitoria Regia flower can have two different scents in the afternoon and at night! That's why they created two different range for Vitória Régia: At Dusk and At Dawn.
Jenipapo
Vitória Régia At Dusk
These Vitória Régia at Dusk amazing! My fave scent from those three range :)

Isn't this bar soap the cutest thing ever? I don't think I would ever this this beautiful soap, I will keep it forever in my drawer :p

Vitória Régia At Dawn

Have you tried any of these newly launched products? What do you think about them? :)
Thanks to L'occitane Indonesia for inviting me to this fun event!!


XOXO
