SK-II x FemaleDaily.com Wings of Change Event

Oh. My. God.

That was my first response when I got the invitation to attend the SK-II Wings of Change Event held in collaboration with FemaleDaily.com. 

I have been a fan of SK-II ever since I could remember and I vowed to myself that I have to be successful so that I can buy SK-II for my skincare. My mom have been using SK-II products for a couple of months now and we all love the results.

Back to the event, ahem, which was held at Mall Kelapa Gading at 1 p.m., was attended by my fellow beauty enthusiast and so many other SK-II customers. As per usual, SK-II events are accompanied by free skin test using their magic tool and free consultation with the beauty consultant.

The event was targeted to introduce their limited edition holiday Facial Treatment Essence, which is soooooo pretty! (I ended up buying the red one and I. did. not. regret. it.) SK-II's FTE is one the most popular products and have been known to bring super amazing effect on the skin. This is the perfect gift you could ever give to anyone!

For 2015, they brought the theme "Wings of Change" which was symbolized with butterflies on the red and pink bottles, while the blue ones are designed with hummingbirds (that's Burung Kolibri for us Indonesians, lol.) I believe that wings of change is meant to be more about metamorphosis, symbolized by the amazing dancers in their short film collab with Mr. Tom Kwan.

Red - Boldness  

Fuchsia - Encouragement

Blue - Perseverance

Etude House Play Nails Masterpost (WARNING: Photo Heavy!)

Hello again everyone! Today I'll be talking about the Korean brand Etude House's nail polishes; which are called Play Nails.

*DISCLAIMER*: Please do not use my photos without giving credit or without my permission.

All my babies lined up and neat... I didn't have the heart to throw them back in my drawers :(

All the swatch will be applied live on this video below:

One of the problem that I found is that Etude House uses a different name for different types of nail polishes compared to the regular brands. To help you, I have a list of the 'dictionary':

• P 페랑트 = Paint

Paint means that the color is opaque in just one coat. But in my experience, even the nail polishes labeled as P can definitely use a second coat to even out the nail polishes.

• J 젤리 = Jelly

Jelly means that the polish needs 2-3 coats to reach opacity, and yes, their formula is actually creamy, not jelly.

• Y 요거트 = Yoghurt

Yoghurt nails means crelly glitter, like China Glaze It's A Trap-eze.

• G 글리터 = Glitter

Pretty self explanatory, right?

• S 쉬머링 = Shimmer

This is where it gets confusing, Etude House provides 2 types of nail polish with the 'S' code. One is a shimmer, and another one is Syrup.

• S 시럽  = Syrup

Syrup right here is what us normal people call 'Jelly', which means that it's sheer and squishy!

• PG 펄글리터  = Pearl Glitter

Pearl Glitter in this context means opaque creamy nail polish that has glitters/shimmers throughout.

• NG 네은글리터 = Neon Glitter

Neon Glitter. Pretty self explanatory.

• H 흘로그렘 = Hologram

Another self-explanatory code.

• L 레더 = Leather

Leather = texture. 

• PS 펄시럽 = Pearl Syrup

Jelly polish with shimmers.

• N 네은  =  Neon

Obviously, neon means neon.

Panasonic Beauty x Female Daily Network Beauty Event

Hello again, gorgeous! 

Last Saturday, on March 14th, I was invited to a beauty blogger event held by Panasonic Beauty Indonesia in collaboration with Female Daily.

Marc Jacobs Enamored Hi-Shine Lacquer in 110 Gatsby Swatch and Review

Hello again!

This post is dedicated to the gorgeous Marc Jacobs Enamored Hi-Shine Lacquer in 110 - Gatsby.

I've always loved rose-gold color but never found a cheap (and available in Indonesia) nail polish that has the color. 

The polish bottle is flat coin-shaped bottle (but way bigger than a coin, duh) with a black cap. Inside the cap, you can see that there's the polish brush with standard brush (not wide, not too thin, with flat end). 

The polish itself is 13ml, around the same amount of OPI or China Glaze.
