Weekend Refill :)

This Saturday started as any other Saturday, the ones where I plan nothing or plan to sleep through. But concerning the damage that's been done to my hair. I think my hair is kinda sick :P and i need a treatment soon. That's why I'm entitled for a creambath at Roger's. Hohohoho....It went quite well and way better than my last creambath in Anata Riau Junction (which was a hair mask treatment, but well, quite the same). The last time my hair ended up lookin kinda hangin', which I hate. And that made me have to fix it myself afterwards.

But today was so nice... I picked the vanilla scent and tbh I can quite enjoy the massage tho I still have to bite my lips a bit when it feels so ticklin'.

Aside from the creambath, today I went out to refill some of my stuff. Like shower gel, lotion, facial cleanser and conditioner. Not only refilling, I decided to purchase Makarizo hair energy creambath cuz it was on bargain price... from 10000 idr to 6600 idr! hahaha decided to buy four of em :D Dunno when I'd try it but I hope anytime soon and hope it helps my hair too :)

Another highlight; I just knew that NYX cosmetics has opened in SOGO Paris Van Java. I went to Sogo to look for my Revlon Beyond Natural foundation, my shade number 220.
I've look for it in Riau Junction, BIP and also PVJ but they're all out of stock :( the lady in the Revlon counter keeps trying to convince me to purchase the 210 shade but I wasn't sure about it so I kept saying no.

Feelin' kinda desperate with the foundation, I bumped to the NYX counter and tried on some lip glosssss hehehehe... Not that I'm impulsive but... See, I usually wear Make Up Forever Glossy Full Couleur which originally belong to my Mom and I can't afford to re-purchase it if I ran out of it.
So I need something else in replacement. My sister has been using NYX glosses and I think it looks nice so I wanted to purchase one, keeping in mind that it's not really expensive (especially compared to the MUFE one :'( ) I wanted to buy the Mega Shine line but after some trying and chat with the NYX lady, I bought the sheer tube lipgloss instead.
Like the website said "has a soft brush applicator for perfect contouring", I found the brush applicator really convenient and I love the color too :) But I still wonder if it's okay to wear this to campus... I usually wear maybelline fruity jelly but some of them looks too glossy, like oily.
So so far I really love this NYX sheer gloss and thinking of purchasing another color! :)

Oh and I'm really glad to appear decent today (or every day) with such light make-up. I woreBody Shop Seaweed Mattifying Day Cream,
Maybelline Angel Fit two way cake in natural beige ochre,

Banana Boat Aloe Vera sunscreen lip balm

Well, I'm not so confident to post any pics... But here's a smile for you :) natural look lips with a touch of healthy rosey shade of NYX :) looks better in person hahahaha *i wish*

Philosophy: Unconditional Love



Philosophy

Recently I browsed through the Sephora website quite often (Yes, that's a confession :P) and it becomes one of the 'most viewed' in my google chrome, maybe that's why I clicked randomly at it at times (ahahaha excusessss)

Closing in to the holiday season, the products that caught my eye are the ones from Philosophy. Although they also have make-up stuff but I found myself over-interested to their skin care products. Cuz they have the cutest line of them. So many different flavors! Lookie here

Vanilla Birthday Cake!
It has the scent and you can use it for shampoo, shower gel and bubble bath. I think it's really perfect for travelling needs.. :) But of course that's not my main reason... It's cuz they also have so many other flavorssss... Here here


Bubble Gum Blow Out!
Candy Cane for the Holidays
They also have some sets for special occasions...
Winter escape with peppermint hot cocoa and marshmallows
Bridal party with wedding cake, bubbly and bridal bouquet
(I think it's soooo cute!)
Classic cookbook with various flavors
The cookie set with oatmeal, lemon cookie, coconut macaroon and chocolate chip cookie

Just because set with three kinds of chocolates

These stuff sent me head over heels. I'm so curious and I've read the reviews that they smell so good but don't leave your skin smells so food-ish. So I think it's safe to give them to boys...? In replacement of giving the real food hahaha. Are boys allowed to use chocolate-scented shower gels? I guess there's no rules against that! :D

Apart from that, the name of the brand, philosophy also has some philosophy behind it which is quite a long explanation and I'm not really interested in reading last time I went to their website. But they use children pics in their ads to remind people of the simple happiness when you're a kid. How cute is that? And, maybe, just maybe, it fits me so well hahaha...

In addition to the philosophy title, each bottle, if you haven't already realized, has some writings on it. I found it special too, cuz this is what they have on their bottles...
On Vanilla creme brulee bottle, they have the recipe of the real vanilla creme brulee. You can make one if the smell is not enough for you :)That goes for every food-named products but for some of them with real philosophies, like the 'be somebody' bottles...

I found this really interesting and good for thoughts. Yes there is no such thing as being too good. Be somebody, we become greater good when we become humble in our own deeds. Sometimes we forgot about the simple things, I think having something like that written in our everyday shower gel bottles is a great idea. Like having a waterproof hallmark card! :D

I think these products are some of my favorite things in one. I love it!
Ehm, aside from the price... But it's so cute how can you resist? ^_^

Giveaway from Polka-Dotted Apple

Are you a big fan of urban decay? Or interested in trying their products (which is not so easy to get in Indonesia)? If you haven't seen other blogpost regarding this, then I tell you what, Maggie from The Polka-Dotted Apple is holding a giveaway in celebration of the blog's first anniversary.

In order to participate, best to look at her blog post for information... :)
If you're lucky, you'd get some very cute stuff including Urban Decay Book of Shadows, how cool is that? :D I hope I'm luckier than you hahaha jk...

Well then, this is my post regarding the giveaway... It's fun answering these ^^

What is your most prized possession?
Hmmm in life value, must be love and family.
But in monetary value for now, I think i'm kinda (too) attached to my gadgets.

What is your definition of beauty?
something that makes you feel glowy and content

What makeup item (Brand and name of product) would you recommend to me?
I really love make up for ever glossy full couleur (mine's in peach (8)), it gives the right amount of gloss and you can apply your favorite lipstick/color after it makes your lips look moist, healthy and yummy.

What is your favorite KIND of makeup item and why?
I first fell in love with lip glosses, and they're still my favorite until now (see the recommended part :D)

A weird factoid about you. :B
in my head, every number has its own colour.

What is the fondest memory of your childhood?
Sleepover with my cousins every holiday. I live quite far from them when I was a kid so really love every chance to get with them doing all kinds of stuff.

Describe yourself honestly.
Even in this age I still somewhat believe in fairy tales. I tend to say yes to people but at some point I might snap. In little things, I sometimes forget to re-think and say things bluntly, but I'm extremely careful with words when it comes to big matters, which sometimes make people think I should be more 'to-the-point'

Tell me something I could do to improve my blog.
I think the colour palette is nice but tbh the title font is a bit too big. I love the way you take picture of the stuff and swatches, you should keep it that way :)

*fingerscrossed* ^_^

differences

Today, I, mom dad and aunt went to teraskota bsd. All the way through the traffic jam,
my dad was sleepy so my mom asked him whether he wanted her to drive instead (not exactly asking, she was insisting :)) but my dad said no and eventually we arrived in Teraskota.

There, we had our lunch and even there my dad already hinted that he wanted to go to gramedia to look at some books. After the lunch, we except my dad went to square one for cup o'brownie. Once we've done there, we walked to gramedia.

While walking, my mom said "when he drives he's sleepy, now seeing a bookstore, he's suddenly so fresh and no trace of sleepiness left" haha I just laughed at that one and answered, "same thing happen everytime we're in mangga dua?" My mom agreed and she said "yup, on the contrary I feel so sleepy if I have to look at computer stuff in mangga dua. That's quite the same." :) then she concluded, "if you marry someone and forced yourself to love a person you actually don't, how would that last? " In things like these, you learn and you can cope up because you love the person. Awh :') within the littlest matter, there's love in it...

Best Days of Your Life

lunedì 21 settembre 2009

Thoughts when you are far

Well when you're far from someone they usually fills your mind even more. Because when they're around, you do things together so when they're not at your side you can think of anything else. But when someone's far, you can't easily drive your thoughts away... And that just happen without you realizing it..

Those missing you cards seem important when you are far from someone, the words can relate to the situation so easily. Usually you'd look at such cards and think of it as 'corny', but in this circumstance, somehow it means so much and you don't hesitate to spend some money buying them. See, how different, from corny to must-buy? :)

I have a card that ends with "I knew I'd miss you, I just didn't knew I'd miss you as much as I do" there's never enough words to express how much you miss someone, and even though you say it again and again, it doesn't work that way :) you keep saying it but it's not out of your mind. if i may say, when you say it then you realize saying it is not the point, then you miss that person even more :) especially when they answer 'I miss you too'... Sometimes you feel an urge to say "Then why aren't you here?" but you know that'd be selfish too hahahaa...

Well some say that the time you spend apart will make your love grow stronger. But if i may ask, the love may grow stronger, but will I be? =P I hope i will... There's no chance to be vulnerable... hmm hmm

Oh well,

in case you haven't heard enough,

I miss you :)
