Beauty Wishlist # 1 in 2014

Hi ~ Happy Chinese New Year for those who celebrate it! Hope you have a happiness & prosperity as always! :)

Back to Make Up Land, i have some wishlist to share with you, complete with some review from my trusted beauty bloggers ^___^

 

Tarte EmphaEyes Amazonian Clay Waterproof Brow Mousse $28 for 0.1 oz

 (i want the one in Taupe. The one in pic is medium brown, but i can't find taupe on polyvore's list, so..)

As the name suggest, it's waterproof brow product in mousse form. Okay, not so mousse-y, i think it's more gel-liner form but well.

It's also come with dual ended brush that's seems so awesome.

Robyn from Brightest Bulb in Box said :

I have very little product or brand loyalty... but if this brow mousse had a flag, I would pledge allegiance to it every morning. If this is ever discontinued, the Tarte CEO may find me at her/his front step, weeping loudly.

Too Faced Few of My Favorite Things $56

  It's part of Too Faced's 2013 Holiday set, and i think it's the most populer one.. So no wonder if it's been sold out everywhere (i think).

Let's recall my experience with Too Faced holiday set..

2011 -  loving the "Sweet Dream set". I found out about this palette in mid 2012 so yes, it's sold out already and ebay's price are not reasonable for me.

2012 - loving and bought "Sweet Indulgence set". Yes i bought it, and after several week, it's only stay in my drawer. I love it, really, but i dont think i would ever ever use the one in bulky packaging like that. I ended up selling it.

2013 - loving "Few of My Favorite Things" but as you know, it's been too late.

But if anyone located in Indonesia have it and want to sell it, kindly send me email with your offering.. please?

Christine from Temptalia rate is as "B" and her comment is :

Overall, it's a decent palette with a variety of shades from neutral to color as well as finishes that range from matte to satin to frost. The cheek products tended to run warmer rather than cooler, though one shade was neutral to cool. The palette itself is slim and doesn't waste space; it feels as minimal as they could make it. There were definitely a few duds within the eyeshadows included in the palette (notably, Snowflakes, Moon on Their Wings, Woolen Mittens, and Party Time), which did bring down what otherwise felt like a good palette. These misses tended to be both sheer and powdery.

Urban Decay Naked 3 $52

Well i have naked 2, love it but.. i dont know.. Sometimes i dont think i need another eye shadow palette (currently, i have seven palettes) but Naked 3 with her Rose Gold theme is really something.

Sadly, 2 most beautiful shades from this palette are duds.

UD, if you really want to make a ground breaking palette (again), would you please make no duds in it?

There is some reviews about Naked 3 (if you haven't google it yourself) :

Urban Decay Ultra Definition Loose Finishing Powder $34 for 0.028 oz

Another wishlist from UD, yes. I have lots of breakout now, due to my stress, crazy eating habits and dairy product i consumed so i need to change. No pressed powder again, i will move to loose one.

While Laura Mercier's loose setting powder and Nars Loose Powder are also seems amazing, i think i want this one first.

It's expensive too but dont you think their naked line is gorgeous? and the packaging seems very travel friendly too!

Christine from Temptalia rated it as A+

It’s an incredibly finely-milled loose powder; it almost melts into skin because it is so, so fine. It feels like silk, and it blends and disappears into skin seamlessly. No matter how much I applied, it never looked powdery or cakey. My skin looked nearly flawless after applying this, and it mattified a good deal, but it didn’t leave my skin looking dull or flat.  The effect is quite lovely, especially for anyone who is looking to minimize the appearance of their pores, as this powder does an excellent job of blurring and smoothing the skin.  It’s a very breathable, featherweight formula, too, so it doesn’t feel heavy or like you’re wearing powder at all.  As a setting powder, it extends the wear of my foundation by an hour to an hour and a half and does minimize how much shine comes through overall.

Benefit Rockateur Box O'Powder $28 for 0.017 oz

You know how i love benefit Box o'powder blush (check my swatch comparison here) and while i didn't agree about how they reduce amount of product in their blush, in the same price as the older, i have to admit this one is pretty. I wonder how it's compare to Hervana, which later i found too light for my skintone now.

Christine from Temptalia rated it A :
 It has a baked feel, but it’s more finely-milled and smoother than traditional baked products. It’s rather like Laura Mercier’s Illuminators and Estee Lauder’s Gelees.  The color payoff was true-to-pan and buildable, so it could be applied at full intensity or applied with a lighter hand for something softer.  It has a very subtle satin finish that becomes more and more glow-inducing as it gets blended and buffed into the skin.  When I wore it, Rockateur lasted well for eight hours and started looking faded after nine hours of wear.  I didn’t notice it emphasizing pores or skin imperfections.

Musical Houses from MusicalHouses.blogspot.com also fan of it :

One of the things I really love about Benefit is their excellent ability to find a colour that is universally flattering, while still being interesting (think Bella Bamba and Hervana as particularly good case studies), and I do think this is part of the reason why there is such a following behind their boxed powders.

Hourglass Radiant Magenta Ambient Lightning Blush $35 for 0.015 oz

I am not really a fan of their favorites lightning powder, i am never been really loving a highlighter but they do getting my attention to this not-so-new brand.

I want to have something from Hourglass.. And they release new blush! It's infused with the lightning blush (in this case, Radiant Magenta blush infused with Ambient Lightning powder) and together create a shade thats not really true to pan.

Radiant Magenta seems Magenta in pan, but from online swatches, i could tell you that it's somewhere between pink, peach and coral. Suprising eh?

I wish they would add more shade, something really magenta, the one that would be magenta on cheeks.

Until that, i'd keep my wish to get one of them.

Tiffany from will work for make up write an interesting review:

So, I know you all must be wondering now - is it worth the hype? In all honesty, I think it's difficult for a powder blush to truly be revolutionary anymore. If you're someone who has plenty of blush already that you're happy with, although beautiful, these probably won't add much to your collection. On the other hand, if you're someone who just has a few staple blushes that they rotate through (I'm thinking like one really nice pink blush, one really nice peach blush, etc.), then you might just find one or two in this line worthy of being added to your routine line-up.

go find her review & look she create with dim infusion blush here : http://willworkformakeup.blogspot.com/2014/01/hourglass-ambient-lighting-blush-in-dim.html

 ps. well, i have like 4 or 5 shade looks like dim infusion and radiant magenta, so even if i really love to try it, there's no space (yet) for them in my stash.

Benefit Fake Up Crease Control Hydrating Concealer $24

I am a simple girl now, tinted moisturizer, bb cream and foundation are rarely use. But how about concealer? LOL.

My under eye area sometimes seems darker, due to my sensitive for any noise while sleeping habit, and no powder could cover it enough. I dont want to risk with concealer that are drying and make my eyes uncomfort.

Karen from Make up and Beauty Blog said :

For a brighter under-eye area, less visible dark circles and a lightweight look, just swipe under your eyes, and blend with a finger. The hydrating formula (decently moisturizing, but I wouldn’t give up eye cream for it) steers clear of my fine lines, too, and I swear it looks like real skin.

her review & swatch here : http://www.makeupandbeautyblog.com/product-reviews/benefits-fakeup-crease-control-hydrating-concealer-disguises-dark-circles-doesnt-leave-a-trace/

Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer $28

 Errr.. another concealer on wishlist? YES!

It's so highly hype, and from what i heard, could use under eyes and blemishes (dont be bored, but i have lots of breakout now).. Even i kinda doubt that i want something radiant and catchy on my blemishes..

at least Tiffany from will work for make up found it great for her blemishes :

Overall, I'm loving the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer for blemishes and hyperpigmentation, but the Armani Master Corrector in #1 (plus a concealer on top) is still my go-to for my under-eye area.

see how her make it here : http://willworkformakeup.blogspot.com/2013/03/nars-radiant-creamy-concealer-is-it.html

Nars Pro Prime Instant Line & Pore Perfector $28 for 0.05 oz

My only Holy Grail primer was the one from Innisfree Jeju Volcanic line (haven't review about it) but i dont think they still selling it. I need something new, in case i need my make up to stay longer and better.

I dont know if it's loads of silicones or not.. but if yes, i definately need to rid it out of my wishlist. Hopefully, not.

Cafe Make Up loves it :

Notice, although the effect of this primer is temporary, there are some anti-oxidants also provides some skin-care benefits. This product has a highly effective, magic wand quality against pores. Now you see them, now you don’t. The pore-elminating effect is immediate. My one request is to increase the size of the tube, because after I saw how wonderful this made my skin look I sort of wanted to use it over my entire body. I sort of wanted to take a bath in it, actually.

LOL, read her entire review here : http://cafemakeup.com/2014/01/18/nars-pro-prime-instant-line-pore-perfector-review-comparisons/

Sooo that's it (or that's it?)!

I'm working to clean my stash for some new product though. Someday i just seeing them and think that i have too many, but i need something new to cheer up my day ~

Oh well.

 

 

 

My 13 Beauty Products for 2013

Happy New Yeaar!

It's been late, yes, but this is my first post in 2014! Yippie!
.. but sadly, i can't provide good pict for this post. I'm trying, but since i'm catching a cold, i only could took one (yes, only one) good picture for this very post.

If you live in Indonesia, you'd know how bad the weather is. Everyone i knew, or at least someone in their family, has got a flu, cough or both since December. I guess now is just my turn T_____T

I saw many bloggers has made their version of 2013 favorites, so there's mine ^___^

i think i haven't reviewed all of them, yes?

Palettes

Urban Decay Naked 2

The famous one, it's my choice whenever i have no idea what shades i want to use.

My favorites are Tease, Half Baked, Snakebite and Suspect.

Too Faced Loves Sephora (15th years anniversary palette)

My favorite one from Too Faced. My only complain is the bulky packaging that i'm worried to bring on travelling. It's tin-can packaging (just like the Naked 2's packaging) with no mirror, but comes with mini TFSI and mini blush brush that i've took out from the palette because i'm afraid they'd make some dent on pans.

This palette is lovely. I know i haven't write about it but soon.

My most favorite is Who's your poppy? blush while the second and third are Sun Bunny bronzer and Jer Jer eye shadow.

Complexions

Laura Mercier Compact Tinted Moisturizer

Mine is in shade "nude". It's giving a medium coverage and the shade is just match my skintone. I found the liquid versions are not as good as this one.

Tarte Provocateur Pressed Mineral Powder SPF 8

I've raved about it here, and has been hit it's pan. Now i'm on the second pan and still loving it.

Blushes

MAC Cream Soda Powder Blush

My favorite one! Seriously, you wouldn't know until you've tried it yourself!

a perfectly perfect flush, if you know what brush for it!

i use ecotools bamboo blush brush and they're amazing together.

Read my review, swatch and comparison here.

The Balm Instain Powder Blush Houndstooth

My second favorite. It's pretty mauve-y shade that can be use sheer or build-up. It's also neutral and i found great for cold or warm weather. The staying power is good too.

Read my review, swatch and comparison here. 

Tools

Ecotools Bamboo Powder Blush

This is the perfect match for sheer blush!

Even better since it's synthetic (easier to wash, soft, and animal friendly) and cheap. Also I never found any shedding!

Real Techniques Contour Brush

Sadly this one is not available out of set. It's part of core collection set.

I found it's great for blush and contour (as the name suggest) and very soft.

For me, it's won over the blush brush one.

Eye Liner

K-Palette 24 Hours Eye Liner

Mine is in Dark Brown. I found it's very practical and easy to use than the one in pencil form. I have it since 2012 and still good. But don't wish it would stay for 24 hours (like the claim) without eye primer.

Eye Brow

Skinfood Choco Eye Brow Powder Cake 01

I'm a simple girl with eye brow. I stopped plucking my eyebrow for now, and only filling the "tail" part. Skinfood match my eye brow color nicely and i like the brush they provided.

Read my review and swatch here.

Lips

Benefit Ultra Plush Lip Gloss in Dandelion

Actually, i don't need any other lip gloss after this one. I like the texture and scent, also it has a very soft color which i like. Mine is only sample size but i dont think i've use more than half of it.

Read my review and swatch here.

Oil

Tarte Pure Maracuja Oil

It's a very versatile product, you can use it eeeverywhere!

I use it for acne, moisturizing (any dry area) and for hair.

It's the one i've who always stay in my make up pouch.

Fragrance

Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh

I adore many of Marc Jacobs fragrance, but this one took my heart.

It's fresh yet sweet and has refreshing effect for me. I haven't decide if i want the full size bottle (since it's so expensive) because i've used about 3/4 of my rollerball sized.

I've reviewed about it together with three others here.

Have a happy 2014, and always be awesome!

cheers,

The Favorites : September 2013 Edition

Okay let's back to "traditional" post every first week of a month.

I spent last September only between home, my family's store, hospital (because my grandma was there) and my auntie's house (my grandma stay there since 2010). I wasn't meant wearing a lot of make up but they do what skincare can't do for a zombied-panda which what i used to be.

Here they're :

Skincare

Hada Labo Lotion (toner) and Milk

i forgot to add my lotion in pict, but i got it as my favorites too. I tested Gokujyun series last month, and i added it into my faves.

Tarte Pure Maracuja Oil (rollerball version)

It can help me with blemishes, acne scar, panda eyes, itch, iritation, etc. Basically, it's my helper. I've used 1/5 bottle last month alone.

Make Up

MAC got my love last september. I love their Pearlmatte face powder in Flatter Me (review & swatch here), which add color that i want, plus act as highlighter when needed ; Lip Liner in Boldly Bare, which i use alone or under the Drawn to Chic Lip Glass, and dont forget the pouch too! It's unpictured but you can read my review (together with lip liner and lip glass) here.

However, i am still loving my Benefit Hervana blush (review & swatch). It gives a pretty flush, makes me looks healthy and happy ^o^.

Tools

Seriously, if you're a blush addict, you need this Ecotools Blush Brush, no doubt.

It helps a LOT with soft blushes, blend very well, easy to clean, never shed and kinda cheap.. I think it's about $9 in ecotools.com.

Totally holy grail, i need more for back up. Or maybe one for each blush? LOL!

The Beauty Haul

Hello September!

I don't really have any favorite make up product in August. I don't even regularly wearing make up, but yes i do hauling some new product. They're arrived on my doorstep yesterday.

Most of them are "new" product for me.

First, there's MAC Illustrated by Rebecca Moses Nude Lip Bag. It contains of a make up bag, a lipstick, a lip pencil and a lip gloss. I've tried 2 lipstick from MAC and i could say that i love them. But lip pencil and lip gloss from MAC is new for me.

From Tarte, i bought Tarte Maracuja Oil Rollerball Set and Tarte Air brush Powder Foundation. I have tried the sample size of Tarte Maracuja Oil, i like the product but not the packaging. I decided to get rollerball set version since it's easier to use and kinda cheaper.

And since i'm sooo lazy to use liquid foundation, i got an under rated but loved powder foundation from Tarte. I've tried it this afternoon and by the first impression, it's fantastic.

The latest one is mini lip cover from Burberry. I got mine in Antique Rose. It was unplanned but i can't help my self. This sample size is usually given for free for burberry beauty purchase. I haven't visit any Burberry counter yet so i think buying a sample is good option.

I could say that it's so unusual for me to buy a lot of beauty product in same time, spending kinda a lot but well, i need them. And i could happily said i've ordered them before USD raising high ^^

I wish i could force my self to do more review soon..

See ya!

Tarte Clean State 12 Hours Primer : Brightening & Perfecting, an Opinion

I am not a big fan of Tarte.

I've tried some of their blush and palette (eye shadow, bronzer, highlighter, eye pencils and lip color), i like them but i think i am happy enough without them. Then i tried their Clean State Deluxe Primer Trio. This set contains of mini sample of 3 primers (clean state 12 hours brightening primer, clean state 12 hours perfecting primer and an eye primer). I think they're nice.. but not somewhat amazing.

I don't like the eye primer since it's easily separate inside the tube. And it doesn't work for me. Simply said, i don't like it and i've lost it. So this review is only for 2 mini sample of face primers.

I think this set is not available anymore. Tarte has change the mini set with the one with mini mascara.

Back to my blog, then here's our today's product :

Brand : Tarte

Product name : Clean State 12 hours Brightening Primer & Clean State 12 hours Perfecting Primer

Price : $30 for full size product (product shown here is 7.5ml size sample)

Limited Edition : No

Both are in plastic, tube packaging. Nothing so special about it's design but it's shown how Tarte is a natural brand.

The ingredients are not written in the mini tube.

The ingredient list :

Tarte Clean State 12 hours Perfecting Primer

Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Cyclohexasilixane, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Lycium Barbarum Fruit Extract, Euterpe Oleracea Fruit Extract, Malpighia Punicifolia (Acerola) Fruit Extract, Punica Granatum Extract, Passiflora Incarnate Fruit Extract, Tocopheryl Acetate, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Hibiscus Rosa-Sinsensis Flower/Leaf Extract, Mica, Echinacea Angustilfolia Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract, Phenoxyethanol.

Tarte Clean State 12 hours Brightening Primer

Water, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Dicaprylyl Ether, Cetearyl Alcohol, Coco-Caprylate/Caprate, Glyceryl Stearate, Glyceryl Stearate Citrate, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Benzyl Alcohol, Xanthan Gum, Cellulose Gum, Sodium Dehydroacetate, Glycerin, Hydrogenated Polyisopentadiene, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Peel Oil, Silica, Mica, Tin Oxide, Lecithin, Dehydroacetic Acid, Disodium EDTA, Arbutin, Glutathione, Retinyl Palmitate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Ascorbic Acid, Alcohol, Linoleic Acid, Linolenic Acid, Limonene, Linalool, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891).

And since it's from Tarte, it's free from parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrance, petrochemicals, phthalates, GMOs and triclosan.

 In their full size product, the closure is made from bamboo. Here, they only give another plastic closure. Well ~ you got what you've paid for :p

heavily swatch on my back hand

lightly blended

Since it's a primer, i think back hand swipe is better, because it has more texture to help you see product better.

The brightening one is kinda runny (maybe because water is it's main ingredient), silicon free, and has slight yellow undertone. It turns out clear after blended and wouldn't change your skintone. It also has a slight lemony scent.

It has low oil control, only help a little bit in blurring pore, gives dewy finish and help foundation stay a lil bit longer.

I suggest to use foundation over it, it would calm down the brightening effect a lil bit, makes you ended with healthy glow.

The perfection one is clear and silicone-y. It leaves slick finish but does a great job on filling pore and fine lines. It slightly makes foundation stay longer.. but not that much.

No scent detected in this one.

Light and Heavy foundation can be use over this one. Even tinted moisturizer can do. It's better not to use foundation or TM with matte finish since it's would make you deadly matte (in my opinion).

i haven't combined them so i can't say about how they're while use together, but i think that might be good!

Let me know if you've tried it ;)

Tarte Lip Surgence in Exposed : Review, Swatch & Comparison

In order to fullfill my promise in about Tarte's Lip Surgence, i'd write a review about another shade, Exposed.

Exposed from Tarte is one of the most popular blush in 2012. I have and love it (here's my review about it), and i was curious about how's tarte matte lip surgence would be, because i don't really like lip surgence in Elite. The shade and formula are simply not me.

Tarte Lip Surgence come in pencil form. It's made from plastic with twist base to push up the product inside.

The cap is gold colored and made from somewhat metal-like.

The product colors are the supposed to be the same with the shade inside. In this case, Exposed's outer packaging is in matte, dusty brown rose.

This baby has been loved, so it doesn't looks so well.

under direct sun light

under my shadow

Tarte lip surgence in exposed over my lips.

For me, it does agree with sephora's description as "nude".

No, it doesn't cancel out my lip colors, it's MLBB shade, with matte finish. Seems like my naked lip it self.

Talking about texture, i like Exposed a lot way better than Elite. Exposed doesn't emphasize my lip's dryness nor make it worse.

Exposed smell minty. And it does feel minty on lips, but not as strong as Elite.

I love wearing Exposed. It feels so comfortable. I got 2 hours with it, without any drink or meals.

If you're aware about product ingredients, you'd be happy that tarte lip surgence are formulated without parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrance (the minty scent is from peppermint that infused to product), synthetic dyes, petrochemicals and phthalates.

Things i dont like about Exposed are :

Is not staying all day long (like tarte claims in sephora.com)

It left dark stain on my lips, and it's hard to clean. The dark stain became worse after several uses.

Expensive ($24), but tarte usually add exposed to their holiday kit.

And about Comparison Shades :

under direct sun light

under shadows

Here i compared tarte lip surgence exposed with different product, with (almost) the same color family : dusty rose.

As the picture above, the product are : tarte amazonian clay blush in exposed (the same name, same color family, sama description) and benefit ultra plush lip gloss in dallas (same color family).

Tarte amazonian clay blush in exposed is simply describe as "nude".

On my skin, it's reddish brown. My skintone always make Exposed seems redder than usual.

Lip Surgence in Exposed is bolder, and a tad glossier. If you already have blush in Exposed, then you know how's lip surgence in exposed look like.

Benefit Ultra plush lip gloss in dallas is describe as "dusty rose".

Under the sun light, it seems more orange (maybe it's sun light's reflection?!) but under the shadow, they're almost the same.

However, i dont like to use them together.

Below is how benefit ultra plush lip gloss in Dallas used over tarte lip surgence in Exposed :

My lips seems so pale and looks like i wore nothing. Crazy eh? I dont understand why.

Dusty Rose's nude is one of my most favorite shade. They're so easy to use, looks so natural and not intimidating. I wish tarte lip surgence in expose could stay longer, and doesn't leave dark stain on my lips.

I wouldn't repurchase once it's finish.

I'm sure i'd finish this one, it's pretty!

Looking for a Good Powder? Try Tarte Provocateur Pressed Mineral Powder SPF 8.

I'm so happy with my new find, it's so pretty, has a good value and works amazing!

Actually, i bought it by accident. I wasn't mean to buy anything, so when it's arrived, i left it in my back up box and forget about it. I don't even trying to search a review about it, i just left it there.

Then i read someone said it works amazing. I have my benefit hello flawless powder (from How to Look Best at Everything kit, reviewed here) but since it's not in travel friendly side, i need something else. Benefit dandelion is great, but has no coverage and too bulky.

Long story short, i tried Tarte Provocateur Pressed Mineral Powder and fell in LOVE. I like all my previous powder, but never ever fall in love like i do to Tarte's. I have a very oily skin and it does help to make my skin less oily. Feels like it's melted to my skin, make my skin but better version. And you know what, it's come in Perfect Shade. As i said, i never trying to find any information about it, so i dont know what shade would suit me best, and it's just like perfect.

Before going to picture, i'd let you know that mine is in sample size (0.45g) so maybe it's not like the full size item you've seen in store or any where. And i've checked Tarte's web, i can't find any pressed powder with SPF 8. But found it in sephora.com. I wonder if tarte powderful mineral pressed powder are the same.

going to description in sephora :

What it is:
A mineral-based pressed powder.

What it does:

Get more information about our shipping rates, schedules, methods, and restrictions.

Since mine is in sample size, it's only covered by cardboard with magnetic flap. No complaints here, since it's very travel friendly.

I love the sewing design, and i think the full sized one has a prettier packaging but also bulkier.

0.15 oz is basically about half of full size product (0.28oz).

It does contains SPF 8, a nice add, even if it's not really help. But i doesn't need higher SPF number in my powder since it could add white cast on picture.

Like all product from Tarte, it doesnt contains of parabens, petro chemical, phtalate, sulfate, glycol, fragrance, oil, gluten, dye and talc. I think those make it safetier for sensitive skin like mine. You can check the complete ingredient list on Sephora description above ^^

Above is how the insider look like.

A mirror would be good but it also add some weight.

Swatch above was taken under low sun light.

Can you get what i mean? It's also not in matte shade, just lovely natural.

I also took another picture under heavier sun light. Very lovely, i'd say again.

I usually use it with ecotools retractable kabuki brush, which nicely pick up the pigment and take a good amount of product.

It's definately Holy Grail product, not less.

Have you find your HG powder?

what's that? :)
