 I know that I'm really late to the chase, but better late than never right? I'm finally trying out Oval Brushes that everyone's using since the past years haha. The first thing came up to my mind when I saw this kind of brushes is how weird looking those are and how they look like toothbrush, I mean really look at these brushes...
 And in case you're wondering, I got this set of brushes at tosave.com for only $6.57, they also have other colors like white, gold, gradient blue, gradient green, and more. If you're interested, check the link here.

Despite being really cheap, the quality of the brushes are actually quite good, I know that the handles are made from plastic that make them look really cheap, but the brushes are really, really soft! They exceeded my expectation :)
I really like the biggest brush, I use this to apply my foundation, BB/CC cream, and even my powder. It works really well to blend my foundation because it's so fluffy and voluminous. The smaller size also works great to apply foundation, but it takes longer time to blend, so I prefer to use the smaller one to blend my concealer and contour instead.
 I use this small brush to apply eyeshadow, because it's flat top and not tapered, it doesn't work well as blending brush, however you can use this brush for powder or cream shadow.
I use this thin brush to apply cream contour on my face before, it gives a great precision from being so thin!

The first time I tried oval brushes, it felt weird, but actually it's not that hard to use, you just have to adapt and get used to it. My favorite brushes are the oval face brushes that i usually use to blend my face products, they're extremely soft and fluffy, love them to bits! I've also tried cleaning them all, the brushes hold up pretty good, there was no shedding for the 3 smaller brushes, the oval brushes lost couple of strands but I guess that's normal since the bristles are really dense.

If you're interested to try oval brushes but don't want to spend much money, I really recommend you to get this set instead at tosave.com, but actually they have so many products to sell vary from makeup brush to Ombre Hair so make sure to check them out!

XOXO

I didn't write much on my previous One Fine Day in Taipei post because I arrived at Taipei pretty late in the evening (after spending quite some time at the immigration, oh the long queue!), so I hopped on to Taipei Main Station, dropped my bags to luggage storage and had dinner at one of the malls which name I don't remember anymore. I'm totally bad with names, especially in language that I'm not familiar with.

So the next morning I bought me train ticket to Yilan, where I spent one night there before heading to Wuling Farm, which is one of the trip's highlights. The journey from Taipei to Yilan took about one and a half hour. There was some slight error when I bought the ticket, then again I don't speak the language, so I wasn't sure if I got the wrong ticket or got in the wrong train, but I didn't get seat on my way to Yilan, so I had to stand gracefully for 1,5 hour hahaha. But I made sure to not make the same mistake on my way back to Taipei from Yilan (more on different post later).
The train station at Taipei
Just to give you an idea, here's a glimpse of Taiwan map, so I spent one night at Taipei, then headed to Yilan by train and spent the night there, then finally went to Wuling Farm by bus.
I went to Taiwan on end of March to early April, it was Spring and the weather couldn't be any more nicer, it was a bit chilly, definitely up to my taste. Yilan is actually not a big town, so I decided to spend the time by walking around the town in the afternoon, while looking for something to eat.
I stayed at Beauty Hotel at Yilan. A double bed for only about USD 65/night was quite a steal, the room was comfy and clean, and the owner were absolutely friendly. The hotel was run by a couple who helped me so much during the trip, we didn't talk much because of the language barrier, but they're absolute delight! I took a taxi on my way to Beauty Hotel from the train station, it was actually not that far, but I wasn't familiar with the place so I took a taxi instead, it was about 10-15 minutes walk from the hotel to train station (about 1 KM away).

I asked the owner if I could dropped my huge luggage at their place for a day so I could only bring small travel bag (actually it was a gym bag haha) to Wuling Farm, and they gladly helped me! Not only that, they also drove me to Jiaoxi station the next day, and the following day to dropped my luggage when I was going to Hualien. I was so grateful to be able such friendly and helpful people. So I definitely recommend you to stay at their place if you're going to Yilan :)

Beauty Hotel
Wufeng Road No.12, Jiaoxi Township, Yilan, Taiwan, 26247
The centre part of the town, lots of shops are available here.
Stumbled on this shop, but didn't enter because they sell spicy ice cream! FYI, I don't eat spicy food, that's why I didn't enter the cafe in the first place. Then I went to the restaurant across Chili Ice Cream store to grab some lunch.
I only ate the shrimp hahaha.
This was quite good, well I would consider most soup-y food as good in chilly weather hehe.
Then I went to the park nearby and found this cutie!
What a doll! So cute :)
You could find lots of cute dogs wandering around the streets in Taiwan, and because the weather was a bit chilly when I went there, most of the dogs wear the cutest clothes and sweaters! I feel like bringing them all home ♡♡♡
Later in the evening, I went to Luodong Night Market by taking a cab from Jiaoxi station. It cost me about NTD 450 or USD 14.50 for a 40 minute trip. The night market isn't as big as the one in Taipei, but you gotta go to as many night markets as possible when you're in Taiwan right?! I already looked for food recommendations in Luodong Night Marketing online and grabbed several snacks there, but here is my top picks:
Angelica Mutton Soup
NTD 70 / USD 2.30

There were several stalls beside it that sell the same menu, but this one is surely everyone's favourite! I had to queue for 15-20 minutes for a bowl of this magical soup.
The mutton meat was very tender, it wasn't smelly or whatsoever. A great way to warm up your body in a cold night.
Being in a cold weather didn't stop me to have something cold to eat! I made sure to stop by at Sister Wei for dessert. The flavour is beyond my expectation, it's quite different than similar dessert available in Indonesia, it seemed to be healthier because it's not as sweet.
Wei Jie Tapioca Dessert

If I'm not mistaken, they have two shops at Luodong night market, and I went to the bigger store (picture above). But if you're not going to the night market, make sure to visit their store at Yilan, I noticed it the day before when I traveled back to Yilan. It's one of the must visit places, so you have to try! :)

Address:
No. 110, Sec. 1, Fuxing Rd., Yilan, Taiwan

That's all for my second day at Taiwan. I will post more soon. I feel like going back there.

XOXO

Perubahan musim seringkali membuat tubuh menjadi rentan akan penyakit, oleh sebab itu kita pun harus lebih waspada agar terhindar dan tidak mudah tertular virus penyebab penyakit. Terutama sebentar lagi akan memasuki musim kemarau, berbagai penyakit panas dalam seperti sariawan, gusi bengkak, sakit tenggorokan, dll lebih mudah didapat jika tidak menjaga kondisi fisik dengan baik.

Ada beberapa hal yang dapat dilakukan untuk mencegah berbagai penyakit tersebut, seperti menjaga pola makan, istirahat yang cukup setiap hari, dan juga aktif berolahraga. Namun, dengan kondisi kehidupan dengan kesibukkan kuliah, bekerja, dan aktivitas sehari-hari lainnya, terkadang kita lalai untuk menjaga kesehatan fisik kita.
Di saat gejala-gejala sakit tenggorokan mulai muncul seperti tenggorokan gatal, dapat segera diredakan dengan berkumur menggunakan Betadine Obat Kumur. Nah, Berbeda dengan obat kumur pada umumnya, Betadine Obat Kumur itu mengandung Povidone-Iodine 1% yang dapat membantu atasi sakit tenggorokan, sariawan, gusi bengkak, dan bau mulut. Cara penggunaannya cukup sebanyak 3-5 kali sehari menggunakan Betadine Obat Kumur hingga rasa sakit tenggorokan mereda. Setelah berkumur pun, tidak perlu dibilas dengan air ya.
Sebenarnya, aku pertama kali diperkenalkan dengan obat kumur ini oleh Dokter Gigi-ku beberapa tahun lalu. Setelah melakukan tindakan scaling (pembersihan karang gigi) yang menyebabkan gusi menjadi berdarah dan sensitif, aku direkomendasikan untuk menggunakan Betadine Obat Kumur setiap setelah sikat gigi. Karena itu, sekarang sudah terbiasa kalau gusi meradang, sariawan, atau sakit tenggorokan langsung berkumur pakai Betadine Obat Kumur.
Perbedaan Betadine dengan obat kumur lainnya adalah Betadine mengandung povidone-iodine, yaitu zat anti mikroba yang dapat membunuh bukan hanya bakteri dan jamur tapi juga virus. Sebenarnya Betadine Obat Kumur ini aman untuk digunakan setiap hari dan tidak perih di mulut, namun sebaiknya digunakan saat diperlukan saja seperti saat mengalami sakit tenggorokan, sariawan, gusi bengkak, dll. Hal ini dikarenakan, di dalam rongga mulut kita sudah terdapat bakteri baik yang dapat membantu menjaga kesehatan mulut.
Kalau selama ini sering punya masalah sariawan atau sakit tenggorokan sebaiknya jangan dibiarkan saja, harus segera diredakan dengan mengatur pola makan, mendapat istirahat yang cukup, dan juga dengan menggunakan Betadine Obat Kumur yang telah terbukti dapat meredakan sakit tenggorokan. Yuk mulai kebiasaan gargle dan kumur mulai sekarang, untuk menghindari sakit tenggorokan yang berkepanjangan!

Beberapa waktu lalu aku menyempatkan diri untuk datang ke salah satu klinik Bamed Skin Care yang ada di Dharmawangsa untuk cek kondisi kulitku. Disana, aku konsultasi dengan Dr. Heru yang merekomendasikan aku untuk treatment Oxygeneo yang bertujuan untuk memperbaiki tekstur kulitku yang agak kasar dikarenakan sering menggunakan makeup sehari-hari.
Pertama-tama, wajah dibersihkan dan dikompres terlebih dahulu selama 10-15 menit, setelahnya treatment dimulai dengan Radio Frequency terlebih dahulu.

Ada 4 rangkaian step treatment yang aku lakukan:
Radio Frequency
Exfoliating
Oxygeneo
Ultra Sound
Seluruh proses treatment berlangsung sekitar 60-90 menit. Setelah wajah dibersihkan dan dikompres, treatment Radio Frequency dimulai, sesuai dengan namanya, gelombang panas disalurkan ke wajah, rasanya hangat dan agak panas, oleh sebab itu kulit akan terasa kemerahan untuk beberapa waktu tergantung dari sensitivitas kulit.

Setelahnya, Exfoliating dilakukan bersamaan dengan Oxygeneo, gel yang diaplikasikan ke wajah kemudian berubah menjadi butiran-butiran scrub yang berfungsi untuk mengangkat sel-sel kulit mati, sehingga kulit dapat regenerasi. Kulit akan terasa sedikit perih, namun hal ini normal dan hanya beberapa saat aja kok.
Setelahnya Ultra Sound dilakukan sebagai step terakhir kemudian wajah dibersihkan kembali. Melalui 4 rangkaian step tersebut, hasilnya kulit menjadi lebih glowing dan kenyal banget! Aku rekomen untuk melakukan treatment ini 3-4 minggu sekali supaya hasilnya lebih optimal, terutama untuk kalian yang mau menghadiri acara-acara penting, dijamin makeup stay lebih lama karena tekstur kulit jadi bersih sepenuhnya, base yang oke banget buat makeup. Namun, karena kebanyakan akan terjadi kemerahan pada kulit, sebaiknya kalian gak melakukan treatment ini pada hari H, sebaiknya H-1 atau H-2 aja yaa :D
Bamed Skin Care juga menggunakan produk-produknya Avene loh! Kebetulan aku juga salah satu pengguna Avene, terutama Thermal Spring Water-nya yang aku gunakan sehari-hari untuk melembabkan kulit.
Yang aku suka dari produknya Avene itu karena cocok sama semua jenis kulit bahkan kulit sensitif sekalipun, selain itu sangat mudah dijangkau karena available di drugstore. Kalian pernah coba produknya Avene? :)

Semua orang pasti udah kenal sama SK-II Facial Treatment Essence (FTE), salah satu produk terlarisnya SK-II ini memang sudah banyak yang coba, tapi ada produk barunya Missha, First Treatment Essence yang bekerja untuk melembabkan kulit, dan cocok untuk semua jenis kulit. Fungsinya sama dengan SK-II FTE, digunakan setelah toner, dan sebelum serum untuk membantu produk skincare lainnya untuk meresap ke kulit lebih cepat.

Setelah beberapa bulan menggunakan Missha First Treatment Essence, aku bisa bilang kalau produk ini emang dupe-nya SK-II FTE. Malah bisa dibilang, aku lebih suka produk ini, karena aku kurang suka dengan baunya SK-II FTE yang lebih menyengat.

Sebelumnya aku juga sudah pernah coba salah satu tiruan SK-II FTE, yaitu Secret Key Starting Treatment Essence, tapi kalo dibandingkan dengan Missha, tentunya Missha jauh lebih unggul daripada Secret Key. //REVIEW//

Di video ini, aku nunjukkin 3 cara menggunakan FTE, merk apapun boleh, kebetulan aku lagi suka banget sama Missha First Treatment Essence belakangan ini :)

♥♥♥♥♥

Missha First Treatment Essence is available at www.misslie-collection.com. Don't forget to use 'beautyappetite' when checking out to get free shipping all over Indonesia :)
