Update ... Update

It's been such a long time since the last update in my lovely blog....  

So now as some of you already know, I'm in Jakarta !! yay!
I was like a lil girl in her heaven for about that very short 1 hour *I mean when I was waiting for my flight in Bangkok airport... after checked in.... lols*

Here is my haul.... for about less than 1 hour there.... *shoot!, why they only allow us to check in 2 hours before departure time...*

MAC Fix+
MAC Blot Powder - Medium Dark
MAC Mineralize Satin Finish Natural - Light Medium
MAC e/s Satin Taupe, Patina, Brun, & Vanilla
MAC Lippen Angel & Politely Pink
Shu Uemura eyelashes curler
Maybelline clear gloss

I still want MAC 217 , 189, and some lippens + eyeshadows and actually more brushes... hih ..... but the time was very limited.... so I continue to eat Burger King(my travel friend were hungry) and catch up the flight...
There is NARS counter also there! I just got a chance to swatch the Exhibit A blush.... which I dream on... *On my wish list*
And also MAC Studio Sculpt Foundie.... Oh I love the feels in my skin after about 30 minutes application... NC25 match my skin better than NC20 *which I have for Studio Fix Fluid and MSF Fluid* .. guess I'm a lil bit darker now....
I looove foundation so much.... I'm eyeing Estee Lauder Double Wear and some Clinique ones.... 

Still in the picture...
Milani Glimmer Stripes in Honey and Berry 
Ecotools angled eye brush..
Stila mini Smudge Pot in Grey, Black, and Bronze + cute mini brush (I looove the formula of these smudge pot!)
Revlon Makeup Eraser Pen

All from FD Market Plaza =)
 
Sama skalian spatu dari Wondershoe .... + shawls dari Cottonink...

 
Love the shoes model.... but I think the sateen is a lil bit dull..... when I saw it in the website it supposed to be bright soft pink :(
But the size is fit my feet very well..... after several usage I guess it will be more comfortable....
The pattern is handmade.. and very neat..... 
I love that lil bow there =)


Alright... left to right:
4Ls Dark Navy, Acid Choco, Classic Dark Salmon, Full Fringe New York Apple
4Ls Dusty Red, Acid Fringe Total Eclipse, Acid Rose, Acid Golden Wave, Krey Berry

All are still new,  except Acid Fringe Total Eclipse *uda gw prawanin hari ini*.... buat nambah"in koleksi CottonInk gw yang mulai membludak.... ooopss

Alright.... my husband asking me to take a bath now, because it's too late (11:35pm), while he's still watching his favorite soccer games.... oh yeah...

Nars Laguna... very Yay for me!

Believe me, this is HUGE!
Before I decided to try one product from NARS, I'd always been hesitated because of the price a lil bit pricey for me.
But then when my friends offer me to make a custome purchase from USA *from her sister who will comeback to Jakarta*, I've decided to give it a try.
So my first product from Nars is this duo palette. The infamous Orgasm blush + Laguna bronzer.
For US$45.
Well, I tell you the palette is not small.... It's quite big. The packaging is something a lil bit soft like rubber? I guess it will be dirty soon enough with some excess powder/pigment in makeup box.... But I don't really mind.
Then when I open it, the colors might just look blah in the pans, I mean just look like some common blush+bronzer.
But I can tell you that this is very pigmented, and once you swipe it, the texture is very velvety on your skin... Lav it!
The Orgasm blush is somewhat gives compliment on my cheek that other blushes I have cannot do. It gives me warm look.... *supposed to be cool? uh maybe I combine it with the bronzer so that it was look warm on my cheek..*
Not that I don't like my other blushes.... I love 'em all..... *blush maniac*
And the winner is ....... Laguna bronzer...
I use this as a shader.. I mean for shading purpose *mostly for shading my cheek*.... The shimmer is very subtle... So as for me, I didn't notice this when I use it for shading purpose....
Got this idea from Makeupgeek-Marlena... =)
And for me, this product does a much better job than other products I've tried (brown eyeshadow, MAC MSFN, dark cream foundation... and so on).. It's also much easier to use... Just need a good brush to use it as a shader.
Think will buy anothe product from NARS soon??
But absolutely will buy again if I run out this Laguna bronzer.... *in lav..... fufufu...*
