Beauty Appetite by Jessica Simon

Hi my cutie pie! I just cut my hair last week :) I never like short hair before, because I had bob haircut while I was in high school (about 4-5 years ago) and the haircut made me look boyish, and it affected my style so much. So here I am, with my new medium-length hair, and I'm loving it so far! I can't style it as much as I could with my long hair, but it's really easy to control as long as I have hair straightener in hand :D


I will try to post more of my personal style in this blog. I didn't wear anything fancy here, because I was going to Sunday Service, and I was wearing nude flat shoes from FLATSOEVER, but I didn't have any good pic of them :(



Bought this beautiful and comfortable midi-dress at Bangkok, the good thing is it's not too short for me, because I found most of dresses sold at Bangkok are so freaking short! But I bought them all anyway... :x



What do you think about my new haircut? ;)

Hi my beautiful friends! Some of you must have remembered that I did my upper lips hair removal treatment at Touch Beauty Asia. So guess what, I also did photo rejuvenation treatment there, heehee! I trusted their cleanliness, services, and professionalism, as I have told you that I would do another treatment there. And by the way, they just opened a new clinic at Ruko Aliecante Blok D/55, Gading Serpong, but I went to their clinic at FX mall.

And as always, I filmed the whole process from the beginning to the end. I tried my best not to upload a 30 minutes video, since the treatment takes about 45-60 minutes, so I created a nearly-10-minutes vid. But trust me, it worths to watch if you wonder how it works and how many steps that it takes.

Photo Rejuvenation Steps:
  1. Cleansing. To remove dirt, makeup and excess oil.
  2. Scrubbing. To remove dead skin cells.
  3. Soft Peeling. To prep the skin before flashing.
  4. Flashing. Using IPL machine.
  5. Moisturising. To moisture the skin after all the scrubbing and peeling.



After the treatment, I could see the a immediate result, skin becomes softer, plumper and cleaner! It brightens up the skin a little bit, because the scrub also remove dead skin cells. If it's done regularly (every two weeks), it could also helps to reduce wrinkle and dark spots.

I recommend Photo Rejuvenation treatment for bride-to-be or anyone who needs to prep their skin for special occasions. You can apply makeup even after you just receive the treatment, and trust me, it will make your makeup so much better!

What is it with men with British accent?
I started watching Sherlock last year and completely awed by every little things related to Britain, especially Benedict Cumberbatch. I know, I know, I'm always so late when it comes to good TV series... But it's better late than never. In my opinion, by far, Benedict Cumberbatch is the most suitable actor for Sherlock Holmes role, and the worst one would be Iron Man lol.

Then I watched The Imitation Game (just to watch Benedict and listen to his accent, because I'm too tired to wait for the next season of Sherlock), and it turned out to be SO. GOOD. you guys must watch it! I won't give you any details, because my sister Gabbie always hate it when I give her spoilers of movies or books, even the unimportant ones, she'll go mad and crazy for days :-S

Actually, there's nothing much going on in my life right now, except I had a new online store on Instagram called @flatsoever! I have huge addiction for shoes, so maybe I could also share my addiction to you guys heheheh. I'll be launching the proper website once I'm free, but for now feel free to drool over cutesy handmade flat shoes on FLATSOEVER :)


Soooo... What is it with men with British accent, huh?

Oh hello you guys! I rarely post event reports for the last couple months, not because the events weren't fun, but I had no time to write haha! So last week I went to Artotel Hotel at Thamrin for the launching event of Benefit Roller Lash Mascara. The cool thing is, this is the 'Mystery Mascara' or 'Secret Mascara' that all beauty bloggers have been talking about for the last few months. Read my review here.


I didn't know what was the product sent to me, since it was supposed to be a blind test. But I guessed it right, it helps to curl the lashes, though it doesn't really lengthen eyelashes, but it holds the curls all day long despite of being a non-waterproof mascara (it is water-resistant BTW!).

If you have short, straight lashes like me, you'll appreciate this mascara very much. I think this is the perfect mascara for Asian eyes, because I always find it hard to use eyelash curler, especially on the inner side of my eyes. This mascara curls lashes perfectly, no eyelash curler is needed! ;)

Fish & Hook
We got to play at the event, like Fish and Hook, where we fish the duck using fishing rod! and Pick and Throw, where we throw eyelash curler to the buckets. So much fun!

Pick & Throw

 It's been a long time since I had a cotton candy!! I was so excited, I didn't want to eat it right away LOL :D


The opening is awesome! Bene-babes and Bene-boys were dancing in 50's costumes. And you can see all the bloggers were excited and taking lots of pictures/videos heheh.


The great thing is, I could catch up with fellow beauty bloggers, especially my Clozette Ambassadors girls! Do check us out at Clozette Indonesia ;)


 Another pic with Leoni and Sophie :) I can't wait to meet up with them!!


Okay, last photo with Reiput. Had so much fun at the event last week, thanks to Benefit Indonesia for inviting me :)

Four years in the making and @benefitindonesia Roller Lash Mascara is finally launched in Indonesia! And it is the 'Mystery Mascara' that everyone's been talking about for the last few months! It curls, it lifts and it holds your lashes for 12 hours!! - - - - - It's time to break up with your eyelash curler, and move on with Roller Lash 💘 Find 'em at nearest @sephoraidn or Benefit counters.

As promised, here is my first Bangkok post! So we actually didn't do much on our first day there, because we took the evening flight (it was Chinese New Year so we had to go to our Granny and other relatives' houses first) and arrived at night.

My sister went from Bangsaen, Chonburi to Bangkok with some of her Thai friends. So we finally met at the hotel!! 8O We hurriedly checked in, unpacked our stuffs, got ready for dinner at Thonglor. Anyway, really sorry for the blurry pictures, was too lazy to bring my camera with me :(


To be honest, there are so many restaurants nearby from our hotel area, but I decided to have dinner at Thonglor since it was only one BTS station away from our place, and 'till the end we never had a chance to buy anything from restaurants near us hahahah :p



So these are just some of the foods that we got that night, we also got ice cream and shaved ice for dessert. Foods and drinks are really cheap, well actually prices vary by location, e.g. tourist destinations like Chatuchak Weekend Market or even Thonglor usually a little bit more expensive than other less touristy places.

I rarely post my friends/family photos, so here you go! :) This is Gabbie, the second child.


And this is my youngest sister Jenn, who I always force to take pictures for me! :p Aaaand, before you ask any question: 1) Yes, we all don't look like each other, people always think that we're friends, not siblings, 2) Yes, we all are tall. Jennifer is the tallest one if you're wondering, the shortest is Gabbie (she's only 170cm).


I just realised that the amount of mineral water that we consumed were a lot less than coconut water or orange juices or lime juices, etc... Food/drink stalls are everywhere, and they're only THB 20-40 so we couldn't resist. Exhibit A: photo above.

Well then, ciao for now...! I will post more pictures from the trip later.
This is my first travel log, so please excuse the minimum information hahah, if you need anything, you can contact me personally by email.

XOXO

Hey guys! I thought I would be able to post about my Bangkok Trip this week as I wanted, but unfortunately I'm going to be busy (again) with work, we're going to organise another exhibition this weekend and there will be no time to pick decent photos from thousands of photos that I want to upload here. Even though I didn't go to many places (since my main purpose is to visit my sister), but we had a really good time there! 

I'm planning to travel more this year but as I have a full time job now, it will be hard for me to take some days off . I really envy those full time blogger who can travel here and there every time they want. Sometimes I just miss being a college student when I could write anytime I wanted.... Just so you know, I have tons of stuffs that I want to post here, so many ideas from last year, or even 2013! but I never really got a chance to sit, type and post. People say that it's easy being a blogger, but really, it takes hours for me to edit photos/videos 

Stay chic!



XOXO

Hey guys! Sorry that I haven't updated anything in almost two weeks, it's just that I went to Bangkok on Chinese New Year to visit my sister, Gabbie who is currently studying at Burapha University. Then I had to organise an exhibition last week so I wasn't been able to post anything T_T

Halo! Maaf banget yah aku belum sempat update apapun dalam dua minggu terakhir, masalahnya aku pergi ke Bangkok waktu Tahun Baru Cina untuk menemui adikku, Gabbie yang lagi kuliah di Burapha University di Thailand. Ditambah lagi aku harus urus pameran minggu lalu, jadi sama sekali ga bisa post apapun T_T

However I managed to make an appointment at Touch Beauty Asia to try their IPL treatment. IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light and can be used to perform several cosmetic treatments like hair removal or photo rejuvenation. Permanent hair removal by IPL is common things these days, and can be done to remove unwanted hair from your body through several treatments by reducing total number of body hair.

Untungnya aku masih sempat bikin janji di Touch Beauty Asia untuk coba treatment IPL mereka. IPL itu kepanjangannya adalah Intense Pulsed Light dan bisa digunakan untuk banyak perawatan kecantikan seperti hair removal atau photo rejuvenation. Sekarang ini sih menghilangkan bulu dengan menggunakan IPL adalah hal yang sangat biasa, dan bisa dilakukan untuk menghilangkan rambut yang tidak diinginkan dari badan kalian melalui beberapa kali perawatan dengan cara mengurangi jumlah total rambut di setiap treatment.

I always got so many compliments from my friends on my thick hair however I also have thick body hair which I want to remove, that's why I keep waxing, plucking, threading, or shaving, and by doing that my unwanted hair problem isn't really completely gone, they will always come back after few days (if shaved) or weeks (if waxed/plucked/threaded), so IPL is like the only solution for my problem.

Aku sering banget dapat pujian dari teman-teman untuk rambutku yang tebal banget, tapi bagian-bagian rambut yang tidak aku inginkan juga banyak, makanya aku selalu wax, cabut, threading, atau cukur, tapi dengan melakukan semuanya itu masalah rambut yang gak diinginkan gak hilang selamanya, tapi bakal balik lagi setelah beberapa hari (kalau dicukur) atau beberapa minggu (kalau di wax/cabut/thread), jadi IPL itu bagaikan satu-satunya solusi untuk masalah rambut yang ga diinginkan.

I decided to do hair removal treatment for my upper lips because lady moustache is not cute, I don't want to look manly, OK? T_T So basically this is my first time trying IPL for my upper lips and I trusted Touch Beauty Asia to do that for me.

Nah, aku memutuskan untuk menghilangkan rambut dibagian atas bibir, yang sama sekali ga keliatan cute, karena aku ga mau keliatan kaya lelaki, OK? T_T Jadi ini adalah pertama kalinya aku mencoba IPL untuk bagian atas bibirku dan aku mempercayakan Touch Beauty Asia untuk melakukan ini pertama kali.

The cleanliness of the place is good, which is the most important thing for a beauty clinic, the staffs are very communicative and friendly, they answered to all of my questions patiently. There are some steps for IPL hair removal treatment:

Kebersihan tempatnya sangat baik, yang merupakan hal paling penting bagiku untuk sebuah klinik kecantikan. Staffnya pun sangat komunikatif dan ramah, mereka menjawab semua pertanyaanku dengan sabar. Ada beberapa langkah ketika melakukan perawatan IPL:


First, the area is cleaned and shaved.

Pertama, area akan dibersihan dan dicukur terlebih dahulu.




Sunglasses is needed to protect your eyes from the flash light, after that cool gel is applied to the area.

Kacamata digunakan untuk melindungi mata dari sinar flash mesin, setelah itu jel dingin akan diaplikasikan.



Then they will flash the area on top of cool gel for couple times. This is where you'd feel a bit warm, some people asked whether it's painful or not, even though I consider myself as someone with high pain tolerance, let me tell you that it feels nothing!! The beautician kept asking me if it hurts, and I kept telling her 'I don't feel anything'.

Kemudian sinar flash akan dilakukan tepat di area yang dibutuhkan. Dalam langkah ini, rasanya agak sedikit hangat, beberapa orang bertanya apakah rasanya sakit atau tidak, meskipun aku menganggap diriku sebagai orang yang tahan sakit, tapi bener deh gak sakit sama sekali!! Aku ditanyain terus 'Sakit gak?' dan selalu aku jawabin dengan 'Saya gak ngerasain apa-apa, Mbak...'

Once it's finished, the remaining gel is removed by tissue paper, and moisturiser will be applied to the area.

Setelah selesai, sisa jel akan dihapus menggunakan tissue, kemudian akan diaplikasikan moisturizer ke bagian yang baru diflash.

It is already the second week after my treatment, and I was told that the hair will grow back as usual, but will fall off on its own on second to third week after the treatment and I feel that the hair has been reducing for 20-30%, so I'm totally coming back for more treatments at Touch Beauty Asia! :)

Ini sudah minggu kedua setelah perawatan IPL, dan aku diinformasikan kalau rambutnya akan tumbuh seperti biasa, tapi akan rontok dengan sendirinya 2-3 minggu setelah treatment. Aku sendiri sih udah ngerasain kalau jumlah rambutnya sudah berkurang sekitar 20-30% dari biasanya, jadi aku pasti bakal balik untuk treatment selanjutnya di Touch Beauty Asia! :)

If you're still not sure about doing IPL hair removal, I suggest you to do it right away! The treatments are not as expensive as you think, even though you can't see the result after first treatment, but it is reducing body hair little by little after every treatment until it is completely & permanently gone. So it's definitely much cheaper than waxing/shaving your body hair for the rest of your life.

Kalau kalian masih bingung mau melakukan IPL hair removal atau nggak, aku sarankan sih sebaiknya lakukan aja! Sebenernya harga treatmentnya sendiri pun gak semahal yang kita kira loh, memang sih hasilnya gak langsung instan dalam sekali treatment, karena hanya mengurangi jumlah rambut sedikit demi sedikit dalam setiap treatment sampai hilang seluruhnya dengan permanen. Tapi yang jelas ini lebh murah dibandingkan waxing/cukur rambut yang gak diinginkan seumur hidup kan?

Here are some tips from me for IPL hair removal newbies:

Berikut ini adalah tips dariku untuk yang baru mau mencoba IPL:

DO's:
  • Shave before treatment
  • Apply moisturiser after treatment
Lakukan:
  • Mencukur sebelum melakukan perawatan
  • Menggunakan pelembab setelah treatment
DON'Ts:
  • Bath/shower with hot water for the next 24 hours after treatment
  • Use deodorant 24 hours before and after treatment
  • Swimming/steam baths/sauna for the next 7 days after treatment
  • Expose treated area to the sun
  • Plucking/waxing/bleaching treated area 4-6 weeks before treatment
  • Wear tight clothing near treated area for the next 2-3 days after treatment
Jangan Lakukan:

  • Mandi air panas hingga 24 jam setelah perawatan
  • Menggunakan deodoran 24 jam sebelum dan sesudah treatment
  • Berenang/steam/sauna hingga 7 hari setelah perawatan
  • Terkena paparan sinar matahari secara langsung
  • Mencabut/waxing/bleaching 4-6 minggu sebelum treatment
  • Menggunakan pakaian ketat dekat area yang dirawat hingga 2-3 hari setelah treatment

I really hope my explanation is clear enough for you, but I also filmed the IPL hair removal process from beginning to end of treatment. If you're interested, make sure to make an appointment first. Touch Beauty Asia is also famous with its brow embroidery, I'm quite interested to shape my eyebrows here next time~!

Aku sangat berharap penjelasanku cukup jelas, tapi aku juga sempat videoin proses menghilangkan bulu menggunakan IPL dari awal hingga akhir. Nah, kalau kalian tertarik, pastikan untuk bikin janji dulu ya. Touch Beauty Asia ini juga terkenal dengan sulam alisnya, aku sangat tertarik untuk membentuk alisku disini lain kali~!
