Sunday Faces #3 : Casual Date Makeup

  Another sunday and of course it must be another sunday faces. I hope you guys doesn't feel booo ~ ring see my fotd every last day of the week and today, the theme is date makeup.

  I rarely go out with my boyfriend every saturday because both of us can't stand of traffic jam. For Jakarta citizen, all of you have already know that we can sit inside a car for more than hours even if the destination's so close from where we are. We prefer have a date on sunday because the situation's not too crowded. By the way, my boyfriend doesn't like me when i put my makeup on. He loves to se my natural bare face so i have to tricked him whenever we go out. Anyone have type of boyfriend like me? Raise your hand and let me show you how to tricked them :)

  For my sandy brown eyelid, i chose pink and taupe color this time. First, i primed my whole eyelid with NYX HD Eyeshadow Primer and wait for a minute until it dry perfectly. After that, with my ring finger i applied Shiseido Eyeshadow Cream in PK 214. It's a gorgeous pink - champagne color with subtle shimmer. Actually you can use it as a primer but i prefer use primer first to make it stays on well. I use lavish color which is a matte taupe color in MUA 'Undress Me Too' palette on the outer corners and blended it well. I didn't use any eyeliner because i want my eye makeup looks soft. I couldn't live without mascara so i used Maybelline Megaplush Mascara in Blackest Black. For eyebrows, still haven't trim it yet but soon i will do it!

  Next to face makeup, i want to brightens my complexion so that's why i used another perfect combination such as Tarte Brightening Primer and Benefit Hello Flawless Foundation in Beige. Tarte brightening primer has a bad oil control and it doesn't matter for me because i'm a dry skin gal. Hello flawless has a dewy finish and today i won't look overly dewy and i set it up with Lucy Minerals Light Mineral Foundation but i forgot to took a picture. Seriously guys, it's a great mineral powder! It has a medium coverage. Next time i will review it, perhaps. After that, i used Tarte Blush in Exposed. It gave me blushing brownish plum color and i really love it. Didn't use any highlighting product because i didn't want him spotted my face and say 'baby, you're face glittering like disco ball'. Blah.

  For a lips, i used my another MLBB lip color which is Revlon Matte Lipstick in Mauve It Over but before that, i applied lipbalm first.

My Beauty Haul 2012

  I'll review one by one in another post ;)

Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 Hour Blush : Blissful Review

Ini adalah review pertamaku tentang beauty product and i'm excited! Aku memang lagi butuh banget blush on karena selama ini blush on yang aku pake itu milik mama dan warnanya sangat tidak cocok sekali sama aku, terlalu gelap dan terlalu deep (mamaku dan aku punya warna kulit yang berbeda, mamaku tipe NC 35 - 40 sedangkan aku NW 25). Pernah beli merk Bourjois tapi uhh.., warnanya nggak keluar sama sekali walaupun udah di swipe berkali - kali!

Setelah melakukan research kecil - kecilan di beberapa website, akhirnya aku memutuskan untuk membeli Tarte Amazonian Clay 12- hour blush di lapaknya Rachna Dewi di femaledaily.com. Awalnya aku ragu mau milih warna apa. Habis warnanya lucu - lucu semua. Berdasarkan twitternya Harumi Sudrajat dari my tips cantik, orang - orang dengan kulit khas Indonesia lebih baik memakai warna peach atau deep berry dan akhirnya aku memilih blissful, blush with warm peach color.

Harusnya barang ini sampai dua sampai tiga minggu setelah pemesanan, tapi belum lima hari barangnya sudah sampai di rumah. Dan, seperti inilah penampakannya..

Ingredients : Talc, zinc stearate, tricaprylin, polyethylene, caprylic/capric triglyceride, beeswax, PEG-150 distearate, lanolin, laureth-4, tocopherol, polysorbate 20, tetrasodium EDTA, potassium sorbate, chlorphenesin, ascorbyl palmitate, tin oxide, kaolin, mica, carmine. (+/-): Iron Oxides, titanium dioxide, ultramarines, manganese violet, bismuth oxychloride, red 6 and red 7 lake, red 27 lake, yellow 5 lake, yellow 6 lake, blue 1 lake

Inside the blush

They said : Infused with natural clay harvested from the banks of the Amazon River and naturally baked by the sun, this nutrient-rich blush benefits all skin types for a fade-free flawless finish for an amazing 12 hours. Inspired by Tarte's bestselling shades of cheek stains and lip tints, the colors range from soft to vivid to suit a wide variety of skintones. For oily skin types, Amazonian clay minimizes oil in and around pores to balance skin and keep product in place. Those with dry skin will benefit from the clay's nourishing and hydrating properties, which naturally restore skin's moisture. Combination skin types can rely on its ability to zero in on skin concerns and deliver benefits to restore complexion harmony. The result? Blush that wears better, longer, and truer!

The fact : Jenis kulitku kering dan kadang bisa sangat kering. Biasanya jenis powder blush lebih dikhususkan untuk orang - orang yang berjenis kulit berminyak. 

Kenapa aku tertarik dengan blush ini? 
  1. Aku nggak bisa pake cream blush atau cheek stain
  2. Blush ini kalau dipakai sama orang kulit berminyak bisa menahan minyak, tapi kalau buat kulit kering juga (katanya) bisa meng-hydrate

Hasilnya, yap! Aku pake seharian dan blush ini tahan lama. Memang sih nggak sampai 12 jam, tapi 10 jam. Yaa cukup lama, lah. Waktu pipi dipegang juga blush ini nggak terasa kering, malahan lembab banget. Aku masih pengen coba yang tipsy karena warna orangenya seger banget. Packagingnya juga ternyata besar, lebih besar sedikit daripada blush on Body Shop. Nilai keseluruhan untuk blush ini 5 dari 5.

I swatches it as same as the original color
