I wore red tube top and navy blue skort and heels last wekend, and it was drizzling a little bit that day, but I managed to get some shots before it rained.
I was trying out my hair clip that day, and I rushed out to take some pics before it rained, I was afraid the hair clip will be damaged by the rain, so yeah please excuse my expression here and the messy hair hahaha.. :p

Couple months ago, I went to Kiehl's store and intended to buy Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cleanser (the one in white tube), but the KCR (Kiehl's Costumer Representative) recommended me this one, because I have oily skin. The reason why I wanted to try Ultra Facial Cleanser is because there are so many people love and recommend it, and it is for all skin types, but because the KCR recommended me this one, I thought that I would give it a try....
What Kiehl's says about Ultra Facial Oil-Free Cleanser:
- Thoroughly removes impurities and visibly reduces excess oil on skin’s surface, while leaving skin looking more balanced
- Leaves skin clean and refreshed without over–drying
- Contains Imperata Cylindrica Root and Lemon Fruit Extracts
- Oil–free, paraben–free, fragrance–free, colorant–free
- Gentle enough for sensitive skin
What I think about the product:
First thing that caught my eye was the tube is really big, it contains a lot of product and it would take me a while to finish a tube! You can see by the picture, I've used it for couple of months and I still have more than a half tube left!
The second thing is the cleanser has no fragrance at all, the consistency is cream and its really soft and gentle for my skin. It works amazing to removes excess oil on my face and it also keep my skin clear and not oily for more than 5 hours during the day. The best thing that I love from this product is that the cleanser doesn't make my skin dry like other 'Face Cleanser for Oily Skin' do, because they tend to make my skin feels uncomfortably tight and super dry, but when I wash my face with Ultra Facial Oil-Free Cleanser, my skin feels really clean and soft.
I also notice that the hole in the tube is really small, because you don't need much product to wash your face, a little goes a long way, and I think one tube will last me for about 5-6 months (WHAT!?). Many people think that Kiehl's products are expensive, well at first I also think the same way, but they come in big bottles and tubes and jars and they will last for a really long time, so I think it's a good price to pay.
This is a staple product for me, I use it twice a day, in the morning and at night before I go to bed. Just a little reminder, when you wash your face avoid the eyes area, because it burns like hell. If you have oily skin like me, this cleanser may work amazing to you as well.

This is what I wore to the Kiehl's event earlier, if you missed the post about Kiehl's Feel The Power Mission, you can check it here, to see how easy to donate (all donation will be contributed to SOS Children Village), you can either buy the limited edition products of Kiehl's or vote for your favorite lab coat design (every vote worths IDR 5.000).
So the dresscode was orange, so I wore orange shirt, shoes and bag, and I paired them with my blue skinny jeans.. Oh and if you noticed, I still have Kiehl's sticker on my shirt, because I've voted and I'm one of the family of Feel The Power mission! :p
So this is how my hair looks now, I tried to curl them that day and you can tell that it didn't really work, that's why I miss my old hair, It was really easy to maintain, I can style it in many different ways.. But rest assured, I also love my medium-length hair though!

I spent my weekend at Puncak, Bogor. I wore flowery dress and shoes with oversized green shirt. I really enjoyed the view and chilly weather at the tea plantation, but I didn't go very far though, I forgot to bring another shoes and these shoes are not the most comfortable shoes to walk in a tea plantation. Yes sometimes we need to take a break from our routines and enjoy the weekend :)
How did you spend your weekend?

Actually I've written a quick review of Pond's Pimple Cover & Care Concealer Pen in my Pond's Acne Complete Solution Bloggers Gathering few months ago, but I've been using this product for several months now, and I think its a great time to give you a comprehensive review.
Pond's just launched new line, Acne Complete Solution last month, and there are some new products like facial cleanser, facial wipes, pimple gel and also concealer pen. This concealer is pretty much the same with the usual concealer that we've used before, to conceal red spots, pimples, acne scars, breakouts and stuffs, the only difference is that this concealer also treats your pimples by reducing bacteria, how cool is that!!
Of course your pimples will not be removed in a single use, you also have to treat your skin well, and the acne will be gone gradually. Acne has been one of my biggest skin problem, but I've been treating my skin and the acne is now gone, but there are some acne scars here and there. I always use concealer to hide the acne scars. I love how this concealer glides smoothly on my face, and its really easy to blend with my fingers or concealer brush.
SWATCHES:
Alright, this is just an example, I used my eyeliner, and I tried to conceal it with the concealer pen, and it worked amazing, it cover the eyeliner so well!
Overall, I think this concealer pen is a great product to invest if you have acne or acne scars that need to be covered and concealed, and it's so cheap too, you can find it at any drugstore for only IDR 24.900 (USD 2.00) and it will last for a long time because a little goes a long way!
The only problem that I had with this concealer is the shade is not match with my skin tone, this shade is a little bit darker. Pond's only has one shade for the concealer, and this shade is the most common skin tone in South East Asia, I just hope Pond's will launch other shades for the concealer. However I'm still able to use it by applying foundation over the concealer to even out my skin tone so my face won't look uneven and patchy, the steps are: foundation - concealer - foundation.
Concealer pen is really easy to use, it's really creamy and easy to blend, and not only to cover zits or acne scars, it also treat them! If you're looking for something to hide your acne scars, this product may be your new best friend :)

We all love Lancôme and its amazing products, I have mentioned some Lancôme's new and best selling products, the Hypnôse eyeshadow palette, The Hypnôse collection actually comes in eyeshadow palette, single eyeshadow and mascara, and has three signature look: Doll Eyes, Drama Eyes and Star Eyes.
And I was invited along with other beauty and fashion bloggers, to another show of Lancôme Hypnôse, the most interesting part is the products that would be shown are the limited edition Hypnôse eyeshadow palette and mascara, the packaging was designed by Alber Elbaz, the creative director of Lanvin!! I was so so excited, because there was a demo make up using Hypnôse eyeshadow palette and mascara, and also a fashion show! :)
Hypnôse Doll Eyes Eyeshadow Palette (black and red hearts)
Hypnôse Drama Eyes Waterproof Mascara (black and pink polkadots)
Hypnôse Star Eyes Single Eyeshadow (black and blue stars)
Products photos courtesy of Lancôme Indonesia
Some of you must have noticed the make up artist, he's Widjaja :)
12 palettes of eyeshadow to create three different looks: Doll, Drama and Star. FYI, Hypnôse eyeshadow palette has magnetic applicator, the first and the only one in the market, so you won't lose your applicator ever again! You can even use the eyeshadow in dry and wet application, just simply tap your brush on wet cotton pad, and apply your eyeshadow normally, it will create such intense look. For IDR 650.000, this palette is really worth buying!
And here are the fashion show photos, all the dresses are glamorous, and all models looked beautiful with their signature Doll, Drama and Star looks... Glow Plaza Indonesia was successfully transformed as a runway!
Alright, this photo isn't about the fashion show anymore. Its just me standing happily because I won best dress that day! Actually Stephanie (from Diary of a Product Junkie) and Nisa (from Nisa's Beauty Room) already told and convinced me that I would definitely win the 'Doll Look', but I was like, 'Meh, there are lots of fashion blogger attending the event, I wouldn't win lah..', but I was wrong, well actually not that wrong, the other two girls are contributors from fashion magazines (if I'm not wrong), so I was the only beauty blogger who won the best dress.
Aaaand another pic of me, still standing happily with my gift, and this was what I wore to the event, not the outfit of what I will wear daily, I dolled up for the sake of the event, and the dresscode..
Two photos above was taken by Stephanie, thank you for being helpful and thoughtful!
Group photo with beauty blogger friends :)
I really love the show, it was really fun! The products are amazingly beautiful with packaging, I love the quirky design by Alber Elbaz, even a high-end brand like Lancôme can also has cute packaging!! Oh, and I got the Hypnôse Doll Eyes Waterproof Mascara from winning the best dress, the review is coming soon, so stay tune dear readers!
