Fifty Shades of my Lips

I made those title for Fifty Shades of Grey's sake. Since so many people talk about that just-release-movie. I watched it already, and I think the movie isn't as detail as the book. Anyway~

Kali ini aku tidak ingin me-review satu per satu. I just wanna have fun, take some selfies, and share my addiction to lipstick and what colors do i have on my beauty cabinet :3 Aku rasa ga cuma aku perempuan yang ada di muka bumi yang punya addiction to lipstick. Kayanya three will never enough. Sama halnya dengan tas yang ga cukup cuma punya satu atau dua. 

Here is some of my lipstick collection, yee-ha!

Jadi setiap lihat lipstik di beauty counter, hawanya pingin masuk, nyobain warna-warna yang terlihat cute di mata saya haha. dan thanks to the genius lighting di counter make up, aku selalu merasa cantik tiap nemu warna lipstick yang lucu hehe~

Sebenernya pada protes warnanya kurang keliatan, fotonya kurang deket. Tapinya aku malu buat post foto yang super close-up haha. Jadi dimaafin ya :3

Dari beberapa lipstick yang saya punya, ada beberapa yang jadi favorit saya. 

- Sephora Rouge R12 "Sexy Game"

I love the texture and the bold color. Lucunya di bibir aku lipstik ini sesuai warnanya, hot pink. Tapi di bibir ibu aku jadinya merah :))

- Chanel Rouge Coco Shine 91 "Boheme"

Ini lipstick paling mahal yang aku punya. Saya beli juga karna dapet voucher belanja dari Silk Air di Changi Airport hehe. I loove the color, and the rosy smell coming of it. It doesn't dry my lips, give enough moisture feeling. it gives sheer coverage but still gives you enough color.

- Revlon Colorstay Ultimate Suede 097 "Designer"

Lipstick ini sungguh luar biasa untuk ketahanannya. Saya pake makan, minum, it stay on your lips. Hanya saja karena bibir saya kering jadi gabisa sering-sering pake ini. Mesti dalam keadaan moist dan tidak kering baru bisa pake lipstick ini. Tapi bener-bener harus di higlight untuk ketahanannya!

Sebenernya bisa dibilang semua warna lipstick ini favorit aku. Karna kalo aku gasuka warnanya ga akan aku beli kan! hehe Tapi ada satu yang aku kurang suka yaitu Revlon Colorburst Lipstik 075 "Peach". Ga pigmented, ketahanan juga so-so, jadi di aku warnanya ga keluar gitu. 

So, how many lipstick do you have in your beauty cabinet guys ? 

Seeya! 

REVIEW: NYX HD Eye Shadow Base

Halo! 

Have you heard about this eye shadow base? I bought this eye shadow base after I decided not to go to the beauty salon in my graduation day. Cause you know, sometimes they just put a thick foundation and powder, eye shadow, and a drama-unnatural look-lashes. But since the graduation event will be held in the middle of a hot day, so i was looking for a trick in order to make my make up -especially my eye shadow- stay still. Then I read many positive reviews about this eye shadow base, so i gave it a try.

About the product

It is an eye shadow base from NYX HD range that will make the eye shadow looks better and long last. The official of NYX Website said that:

"Prep your eyelids with this lightweight eye shadow primer that makes skin appear smoother, more even toned, and ensures lasting makeup application. The High Definition Eye Shadow Base conceals creases and pumps up the vibrancy of your eye shadow."

Simply take a little amount of the product and spread it to all over your eyes, from eyelashes to eyebrow. Wait for a moment so it can dry, then apply your eye shadow and eye liner after.

My thoughts

The formula is lightweight, so it is easy to apply and blend. Although I have an oily skin, it did not crease or became more oily at all. A little product goes a long way, in fact, if you put too much it will be oily and take a longer time to dry. I think it does make my skin smoother and even toned. It helped the eye shadow color out. 

These are the swatch (I am using a dark gray eye shadow from PUPA Milano):

Can you see the different ? The eye shadow color without the base is not as intense as the one which use the base. It also easily erased with tissue, unlike the one with base under it.  

I have a naked 2 eye palette, and I think that everyone agree that naked is good. But without any primer, I always thought that I was wasting money because no matter how beautiful the colors are in the palette, I never had the same when I applied it on my crease. But now, after I owned this, I take back my statement. ha! 

Packaging: 3 of 5

It comes with applicator, so we don't have to put our finger to take the product out. More hygene for sure. Oh, and I always love black color on make up packaging. It looks professional and elegant. So, eventhough nothing special about the packaging but I just love it. Simple. 

Efficacy: 3.5 of 5

I have to say that this is a good product cause it proofs their brand claims. It did a really good job. The eye shadow color was really pop out (as you can see above). My eye shadow was stay still after I walk in the morning, looking for the company's building where I took my interview test, then I have to run to catch the bus in the middle of a hot-sweaty-day. Not only that, It also still looks fabulous after my five-hours-without-AC-graduation-event (again, in the middle of a hot-sweaty-day)! ta-da!

Value: 4 of 5

I bought it for around IDR 120k from an online shop (cause I can't found it in the NYX counter both in my town and hometown). With this efficacy, and the price that not so expensive, I have to say that NYX HD Eye Shadow Base has high value. Compare to the great but expensive Primer Potion by Urban Decay, this is better. Especially if you're on a budget but still want a good product. Whether you're wearing make up every day or not, It still a good investment!

Repurchase ?

Yes! 

Overall Rating: 3.5 of 5

<skin type: tan, oily>

In instance, I think, no matter how great and expensive your eye shadows are, it will be nothing without a good eye shadow base. Ciao!
