My survival kits in the office

I trust in Clean & Clear oil control film and Evian facial spray... for its loyalty for me thru the high frequency of air conditioner attack toward my skin in a daily basis.....

So I have this oily skin type.... that no product can prevent it.... So the only way is to remove it occasionally...
I've been using Clean & Clear oil control film for its mighty ability to remove high amount of sebum on my face.... Comparing to the common face paper.... this one is way much better...
I normally needed 2 - 3 sheets of paper until my face cleaned from all that sebum, while using Clean & Clear oil control film, I only need to use 1 sheet at once...

And then after that I just need to spray Evian facial spray all over my face... so it's stay moisturized during the day...

Repeat whenever it's needed....

I'm using this product (Evian facial spray) for toner also, most of the time... :)

Hello... my makeup!

Now we talk about makeup.... Recently I love nude and natural look.. for my daily makeup...

So my daily routine is .... From skin care to ready to go...

1. Clean (I use either Lush Angel on Bare Skin/Aqua Marina *while the stock last... dunno where to find it anymore, hello Greenbelt Phils!* or TheSkinFood random cleanser I picked up from the counter, just so I have a spare cleanser to mix and match)

2. Tone (I use either Lush Tea Tree/Eau The Roma *while the stock last... same case with the cleanser* or one from TheBodyShop Seaweed series)

3. Eye care (I use TheBodyShop eye gel, from Whitening series, since I have a dark circle)

4. Moisturize (I use Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion)

5. Sunblock (I use Clinique Super City Block SPF40, hope that's enough)

-Let it soak into my skin, normally 30-60 seconds is enough.... I usually got a tight schedule, lol-

6. Foundation time (I owns tons of foundation, I normally use the powder ones for daily or my MAC Face and Body foundation.... it's like tinted moisturizer... even sheerer than that)

7. I let my dark circle just like that for daily look... sometimes I feels that I like the way it's defines my eyes.... stupid yeah...

8. Brows.... (I use the pressed powder one, from Kate-Kanebo... loves it... I can't leave my house without my eyebrows done.... any makeup I can pass but not this tiny thing)

9. Eyeshadow... (I use any colors from my brown eyeshadows palette, sometimes bronzey colors also can do, just to define my lid, since my eyes are flat, just swipe it effortlessly with MAC 217 brush *since it's brownie colors*, and I got my eyes done.. nothing too much)

10. Blush...(Sometimes I pass this step... I use any kind of colors that my hand picked)

11. Set (I use MakeUpForEver HD Powder, loves it .... a little goes a long way)

And I'm done! (normally takes about 15-20 minutes)


Then for on the go makeup, nude and natural look is also nice.. the trick is (well, if you can say it as a trick... lol).... do a shading on your cheek bone.... and defines your eyes more... I currently loves the 'ombre' colors for my eyes.... It's fab! And don't forget to add a touch of mascara for your lashes.... (I highly recommend Majolica Lash Expander Mascara, it's true black... dry in seconds.. no stain left... no clump... and cheap)

Well.... that's all I can share for my daily skin care and make up routine.... nothing too much as I said...

I keep my other makeup (colorful eyeshadows and pigments.... colorful lipsticks and lipglosses, thank God, mostly all still new...) for a while...

Finally....

I will leave Makati for good, by end of this month.... Yah.... quite sad, considering I already been here for about more than 2 years ... And already live in my lovely berantakan condo.... with my lovely husband... Nikko....

Alright, so it's mean that I need to shopping for my skincare stock, that mostly provided by Lush brand..... Sadly this brand were closed their standing shops in Jakarta....
And I don't know how much I should buy here, because seems I need to find another skincare if I run out of my stock later..... Hope by that time, someones will help me tp buy these....

So... I will need to buy:

1. Herbalism (cleanser).... It's a must, especially on those4 days when my skin is on it's bad condition.... Very good for calming redness that often happend to my skin if I not enough sleep for days...

1. Aquamarina (cleanser)... I just love it.... But this is not a must.... I prefer Herbalism than this one...

1. Angel on Bare Skin (cleanser).... I want to try this one badly... hahaha, naughty me... How if it's better than Herbalism???? How will I manage to get more .... *think?*

1. Eau Roma Water (toner)... Such a lovely toner.... Did I ever told ya that Lush made the best toner over the other brands.... ? You want to know why? Because the ingredients are all from nature, it's even vegan product.... No chemical, or that nasty alcohol...

1. Tea Tree Water (toner).... this is also such a nice toner.... I love it so much....

With Lush cleanser and toner, my skin is better than years ago, when I started to use makeup.... hehe..... Even it's on bad condition, thank God, it's still acceptable... I just need to drink more water, and take more time to sleep....

I actually use some other of their products.... But I think those above are the most vital ones..... I still can live with other shampoo.... *Sigh!*.... even I love their shampoo bar so much....

But I think I will buy Big Shampoo.... =) And Godiva Shampoo bar..... if it's in the store *find it since so long time ago.... but always out of stock!*

Secret weapons

Here they are.... my daily weapons....

Firstly I will talk about my brushes.... I cannot recall when exactly I love this things... I just cannot stop from buying this stuff... Not when every season, some brands having their ravishing offer...

I've purchased more brushes, but still in my mom's house.... When I pulang kampung, I will happy to hold them and put it in this small box.....

I keep em'all in the box, because I don't like to keep it in the brush roller bag whatsoever... well, it's just my preference anyway...

Hehe, not that I use all of it on daily basis.... Because usually I just put some loose powder for working days.... I don't have much time, when I need to sleep more on my working days....!

But I like to collect em all and enjoy my time when I use them all *offday, holiday.... anytime I have sparetime and event to use it, basicly....

And these are my skincare.... I only use some products though.... not so many.... because I don't really have time for skincare ritual... But I still have to use some pruducts.... I don't want to look older than my age or I want to look younger than my age, perhaps?... hahaha

As you see in the box, there are my haircare product as well, and 2 bottles of perfume!.... actually my favorite ones ... Those that I use for daily basis, can be found in my bathroom...

Talking about skincare, my favorite products are from Lush.... I have 2 toners from it... And planning to buy 1 more... so I got all *they only have 3 kind of toner*... and my eyecream.... will not repurchase it I think, because it's too light for me... But I like the packaging... so hygienic... uhmm... maybe I will repurchase anyway... haha... or back to Clinique all about eyes and I will place it in the Lush's pump bottle?

I've tried the lotion about a year ago... I think it's called Celestial.... I'm not really impressed with it... Kinda greasy for me.. I thought maybe because it was made not for those who live in the tropical climate area....? I'm pretty sure, this one good for you who live in the cold and dry climate... So for lotion I use DDML from Clinique instead... not because of what.... just so my face got some moisture but also not greasy.. Still searching for a better product...

Back again to Lush!

I also likes their face cleanser.... Though I will use some cleansing oil to clean my face after outdoor activity/makeup first, before hit the Lush cleanser to my face.... I love the soothing action from it.... I've tried Coalface, Fresh Farmacy, Herbalism, and soon will try Aqua Marine, after my Herbalism used up....

I love their shampoo bar too.... I just purchased another one... Ultimate Shine, because my Seanik almost all gone *uhmm, I think I've finnish the last piece last night*..

One more product I have from Lush is the Peach Massage Bar.... rarely use it.... no timeee.... You have to put it in your palms for some second/a minute so that your body heat will melt it into an oil... The smell is so nice... But for my entire body... how many time I have to hold it??... Usually I just put it into microwave for merely few seconds... and taraaa, you can use it to moisture you skin....

Will try another products from them soon... and maybe I will post a detail review for each product... ;)
