Beauty Appetite by Jessica Simon: June 2015

I finally had time to sit and blog about one fine night that I spent with Close Up! So as you had known already, Close Up had launched their newest toothpaste, Diamond Attraction couple months ago. This product is really intriguing because it claims to make teeth whiter after one application!!

Close Up Diamond Attraction is equipped with Bluelight Technology that will coat the teeth and act as an optical fiber that balances reflected light teeth, so that the light reaching the eye will make teeth appear whiter. If used regularly twice a day can make teeth look more natural white gradually.

This year, Close Up has became the official smile partner of the biggest fashion contest in Asia, no other that Asia's Next Top Model (Cycle 3)! I don't know about you, but I've been watching AsNTM since the first season!! So it was really really exciting for me to meet the head judge and host of AsNTM3....

...the gorgeous Georgina Wilson! In one of the episode, the contestants had to do Selfie Smile and Diamond Smile challenges. So apparently, smile is something important in fashion and beauty industry, especially in this era where we snap and post everything online. And as a blogger, I've had some thoughts of whiten my teeth for a bunch of times, it's not that my teeth look bad or anything, but who doesn't want pearly white teeth anyway?

In the AsNTM3, Indonesia sent 3 representatives, and I've loved Ayu Gani from the very first episode, she has a very unique look and she did really well in the competition! She's my favourite from all these three seasons so far! So I was excited to see her in person as well :)

Though Gani didn't win any of the Selfie Smile and Diamond Smile challenge, it's because she thought she wouldn't look good smiling because she has small eyes, and every time she smiles, her eyes will be completely gone hahaha, but she thought that white teeth can boost up her confidence :) I was looking forward to try it out!

Weren't they all look great? :)

I hope we also looked as great haha! With Thea & Gita

The dress code was sparkling blue, so I had to wear Jenn's most sparkling jacket as an outer hahaha. And I think I was the most 'sparkling' one there #followtherules

And finally a pic with Gani. How come she was so afraid that her smile would be bad for the photoshoot, she has a very nice smile :) I was so happy for her being on top! I literally screamed a bit when I watched the season's finale hehe, I'm so proud that Indonesia could finally win the title! #IndonesiaOnTop

Just so you know, I've been using Close Up as my toothpaste for decades now, and I can only use Close Up haha. After I got the new Diamond Attraction toothpaste, I tried it out once I got home, and I've been using it every since. I won't say that my teeth become whiter after single application, and it's only because I don't compare before and after I brush my teeth. But I do notice that my teeth have became whiter day by day, so I'll keep using it for better result. Have you tried Close Up Diamond Attraction? :)

I received a package from Laure Lash last month, there were two pairs of beautiful lashes in it. Laure Lash is a new fake lashes brand from Indonesia, one of the founders is an active makeup artist, so she must've known what kind of fake lashes are best for Indonesians. The fact that this is a local brand makes it more exciting for me, if you didn't know already, Indonesia produces great false eyelashes, you can get high quality products with competitive price. Make sure to remember this when you're doing your makeup shopping :)

I don't wear fake lashes on my daily basis, I wish I had time to do it every morning though. I used to apply tons of mascara everyday couple years ago, but I had given up on mascara since I have sparse, short and think lashes, using eyelash curler and applying mascara didn't seem to be the answer. That's why I had eyelash extension couple months ago, that lasted for couple of weeks but need to be touched up every two weeks or so. Wearing fake lashes is the easiest solution, I can wear them whenever I want, they're easy to apply and don't harm my real lashes at all.

Daphne

I prefer my lashes to look natural, I only use them on the weekend when I have to attend some events, meetings or just hanging out with my friends, that's why I chose Daphne and Peneus. Daphne seems to be the most natural pair from Laure Lash, if I'm not wrong. It gives you a bit length, but not over the top, but it's not super thick so you can use it on daily basis if you want.

All lashes from Laure Lash have flexible clear bands, and that's what I love about it! You can wear them with or without eyeliner, though I don't really recommend it haha. The size of the lashes is perfect for my eyes, not too short and not too long that I have to cut them shorter to fit my eyes.

Peneus

After seeing this pair, then you must've known what kind of lashes is my favourite: longer at the middle part to create bigger and round effect to the eyes. Peneus is a bit longer than Daphne, but not too much, it looks flirty because it's thicker, but still looks natural in my opinion ;)

Actually Laure Lash has many different type of lashes, that will suit your glamour look for night and natural look for day. All of the lashes are reusable, and I've used my Daphne for at least 3 times now, but it's still in very good shape! The lashes are so comfortable even if I layer my lashes if I want thicker and voluminous eyelash.

Side-by-side:

Just so you know, every pair of lashes from Laure Lash, you'll also get an eyelash glue in the box. I usually don't like eyelash glue that comes in fake lashes, but this glue is pretty good actually, I never experience my fake lashes falling out, once you put the lashes on, it STAYS on!

I've never done any one brand makeup tutorial before, because I always use different makeup brands, but it doesn't hurt to try, right? So I decided to make a blogpost review about SilkyGirl products today, I've uploaded the tutorial couple days ago on YouTube (make sure to follow me there so you won't miss any video posts!). All of these SilkyGirl products were given to me at #ClozettersMeetUp in May earlier. We were taught how to do simple video makeup tutorial, and I did it! :)

SilkyGirl BB Brightening 2-Way Foundation (Natural)

When I first tried it, I didn't realise that it's actually a foundation powder! I had applied my BB Cream before using this product, but it works well too. If you use the sponge, you'll get higher coverage, so I use a powder brush instead to get lighter coverage. It has separate compartment for sponge that makes it hygienic, and big ass mirror which is perfect for touch up on the go!

SilkyGirl Blockbuster Color Palette

This is my favourite of all. This quad has four neutral colours that'll look good on all skin tones. It has highlighter, all over shadows and shading colour. What I love the most about this quad is because the colour isn't too glittery. I'm not saying that the colours are totally matte, but it's really presentable for day, and the colours can be built up for a night look.

SilkyGirl Eye Opener Waterproof Mascara

In case you didn't know, I like mascara with rubber bristles because it does the best job for volumizing and lengthening my short and thin lashes. Do zigzag motion from the roots to the end while applying mascara for a good result. This mascara helps my lashes stay up all day all night without using any eyelash curler.

SilkyGirl Blusher (Nectar Blush)

This has been my most used blush this month! I love the colour so much, because it really complements my skin tone. Though I don't use the applicator, because I always use my usual blush brush, but the mini blush is convenient for touch ups too, unfortunately it doesn't have any mirror in it. The blush doesn't really show up well, but you can always build up the colour, however I think it's the perfect blush for any newbies in makeup because you don't have to worry to make a mess on your face hehe.

Here's a video showing you how I use all the products:
