Review: BRTC Jasmine Waterful Sun Mist

Hi everyone :)
today i'm going to review a sunscreen from BRTC named Jasmine Waterful Sun Mist. It is a spray-type sunscreen with SPF 32 PA++.

You need to shake the bottle well before spraying it on your face. My opinion about this is first, it smells like sunscreen how do sunscreens smell?. I think they don't even bother to put any artifial fragrance to make it smell better. Second, it contains tiny shimmers when i spray it on, and it leaves some kind of slippery, shiny film on top of the skin, just like when you use a normal sunscreen. I don't know if it also acts as make up fixer but i think if your make up is too matte you can create a dewy, glowy effect with this mist. If your make up is to oily then....... i don't know. Greasy, maybe? Third, i don't know if the SPF in this mist works or not. I don't know how many times i have to spray for this product to achieve the SPF i desire. I haven't try going to the beach or being exposed to extreme sunlight so i don't know if this thing works or not. So far i have only use it to be under the sun for 1 hour and my skin looks just fine.

Conclusion: I need to wear it more often to find out if it works well or not. But now there are tons of foundations, bb creams, and tinted moisturizers that contain SPF, even high SPF so i don't think this mist is necessary. But you might need it if you want to go out bare faced and need some protection.

Review: Pourvous Blossom Tea Body Lotion

Good evening! :)

I've just finished my OSCE and i need to redo one station (guess which one) but it doesn't matter lol.

Today i'm going to review a body lotion from pourvous (i think you haven't hear about this brand, same with me), i'm interested in this body lotion because they say it doesn't contain parabens and whatnots.

At the back it says it doesn't contain paraben, lanolin, PABA, color, and methanol fragrance. And they don't test on animals.

But do you see the second ingredient? Paraffin? I thought it's not suppose to be there? Do you think paraffin is suppose to be the main ingredient for body lotion?

So this is how i feel when i put it on. At first it smells like tea, but it turns out into weird smell but still bearable. It dries out quickly and not greasy and i feel some kind of cooling sensation when i put it on, like i just put on a mint lotion. My skin feels smooth after that, and really no sticky feeling. But the smell is just funny :)))

Review: Vanity Trove Indonesia Lancome Exclusive Edition Box

Good evening :)

I subscribed (again) to Vanity Trove Indonesia because they suddenly released this special edition box containing lancome products. Price: IDR 225.000. Hint: i love it so much <3

So i received this box several days ago (i ordered it and they sent it right away), and the box looks like this:

Contents:

List of products (and reviews):

1. La Vie Est Belle EDP (4 ml)
   I love this so much <3 the smell is wonderful; sweet and fresh, awakening!
2. La Vie Est Belle Shower Gel (50 ml)
   it smells like the perfume (of course), but it gives me that slippery feeling ._.
3. La Vie Est Belle Body Lotion (50 ml)
   yeah it smells like the perfume. The lotion is a bit runny and slippery. But overall i love these three products.
4. Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate (7 ml)
   I don't know how it really works but it makes my face a better canvas for my make up
5. UV Expert GN-Shield BB Base SPF 50 PA+++ (5 ml)
   This is quite nice, it's not as grey as other bb creams. And high SPF <3 But it has dewy finish so i mattify it with powder. My face starts to get oily after 3 hours, especially on my nose area:
   
   

   

   
   
6. Teint Miracle Foundation (5 ml)
   it's really sheer and the shade is perfect to brighten up my face (shade O-03). but it's all washed out after 3 hours (without anything on top):
   
   

   

   see?

7. Genifique Yeux Light-Pearl Eye-Illuminating Youth Activator (5 ml)
   This is my best eye care so far <3 when i use it at night, i can see immediate result in the morning (reduced eyebags) but the price is just something i need to consider </3
8. Visionnaire Correcting Polishing Cream (5 ml)
   haven't tried this yet hehe
9. Hypnose Star Waterproof Mascara (2 ml)
   I only apply one thin coat, hoping that it will look natural. I don't curl my lashes. My lashes look visibly longer, but not thicker. My lashes look the same after 3 hours under then sun. No clumping. I think it's nice for daily wear.
   
   

   

Conclusion: the box is worth it <3 It gives me some kind of preview of what products to buy, but if you look at the retail price the products are considered 'normal' :) At least they're not disappointing :)

Review: BRTC Perfect Pore Clean Set

Hi sorry i haven't post anything lately, i've just finished my block exam and i'm now preparing for my OSCE next Monday so yeah, nervous :)

Today i wanna share you my opinion about one of my tons of attempts to get rid of blackheads, it's a 3 step kit called 'BRTC Perfect Pore Clean':

The set constains deep cleanser (50 ml), purifying mask (15 ml), and ultra serum (10 ml).

Instructions:

I don't have a steamer in my room so i use a magic jar :))) and i use warm cotton pads to heat my nose a little bit more. this is how i use the products:

deep cleanser --> purifying mask --> ultra serum

The cleanser softens up my nose so it's easier to squeeze the blackheads out of my nose. This is my first time squeezing out blackheads and i think 'ew! so this is how it feels like' but the result is worth it. The purifying mask works so-so for me. It just dries out the pores and make them feel smoother. The ultra serum, too, makes the pores smoother so there's no bumpy feeling when i run my fingers over my nose.

The result is the best on the first day. But for the second day to the whole week, my nose peels out hideously :( I can feel the burns, like after i sunbath for the whole day and i forget to wear sunscreen :(

i definitely need something better than this set but it's a waste to throw it away so i think i'll finish this up first then go look for other products :)

Conclusion:
Pro:
-effetive!
cons:
-it peels my skin off
-hurts T.T

Review: Vanity Trove Indonesia July 2013 Box

Another beauty box to review :)
Today i'm reviewing my july box from Vanity Trove Indonesia (IDR 180.000/box) so this is how the box looks:

it's a drawer type box and it's very sturdy, i like it :)

the vouchers:

-C&F Perfumery: IDR 100.000 for each purchase of Gold Diva EDP

-Pink Parlour: IDR 50.000

now let's see what's inside the box:

1) Roberto Verino - Gold Diva EDP sample

it smells soft, like a baby powder :3 i like it but i'm not planning to buy if because i still have two perfumes with me OTL tell me if you want the voucher :)

2) Clarins Shaping Facial Lift Lipo-drain Serum sachet

i think it's for those with bluky, round face?

3) Clarins Body Lift Cellulite Control

well as you can see it's for those who have cellulite. i think i'll just give it to my mom ;)

4) Natvia Nature's Sweetener

Well i don't know why so many people dislike this, but i like this so much. People are saying 'this is a beauty box, i demand beauty products, not foods' yeah but for me, i've been wanting to subscribe to food boxes out there but the shipping fee here is more expensive than the box itself so i bury my wish to subscribe but then tadaaaa VTI gave me low calorie sugar XD next time please give me organic tea bags or pasta seasonings or such XD

5) Vaseline Healthy White Serum SPF 30 PA++, Insta Fair, and Night Repair

Well this is why the box feels so full when i open it -_____- i don't really like them even if they're in full size. What's the point of subscribing a beauty box if you get the product that you can find in a mart five minutes away from your home? I still have my body butter and my body lotion with me and they gave me THREE FULL SIZE body lotions --"

Tell me if you want any of them, or all of them ._.

6) Silky Girl Magic Pink Lip Balm

it's in shade 08 strawberry. This white lip balm turns pink when it touches your lips. It smells like strawberry soda and it has a cool-minty feeling when i apply it on my lips. I think the color is buildable because it's getting more pigmented the more i rub it on my lips.

See how it looks:

without flash --> with flash --> on tissue

 7) Pond's Flawless White BB+

Another drugstore stuff --"

and i think this is too white for me. The shade matches the inside of my arm but my face has the same color as the back on my hand, which is darker, and i look like i'm wearing a mask OTL

i'm also not a fan of bb cream because it turns my face grey. and this one does!

when i just applied it --> after 30 minutes going out shopping for foods

See? grey~ but luckily it doesn't break me out *sigh*
