Garnier Skin Naturals Light Visible Whitening Face Powder

I put Biokos 2 way cake inside my makeup pouch in my gym-bag, but but it's already broken and made my pouch dirty so I need a new one.

I don't want something fancy and branded since I leave my gym bag (with makeup pouch in it) inside my parked car, so I searched for a cheaper powder.

I choose Garnier, mine is ivory.

The claim: long-lasting shine free effect.

The verdict: I only use this after gym, before I go home (hey, even when it's just a ride to my apartment, I have to look good, hehehehe) and I only feel the 'long lasting shine free effect' for less than 1 hour.

But I don't mind because it's easy to take off at night, and it's cheap so I won't complain. But I complain on the packaging! It's ugly and looks cheap :P

YSL Poudre Sur Mesure

The name is Podre Sur Mesure Semi-Loose Powder Natural Radiance.

I don't speak french, so semi-loose powder natural radiance is the translation for podre sur mesure?

Anyway, who cares.

I was searching for loose powder that has medium coverage and ended up purchase the YSL.

Mine is 01 Ivory. I choose the lightest one because I always make mistake of choosing foundation that's darker than my skintone.

I love the packaging. Love it! It's loose but it's compact. Confused? Just see the picture. I can't explain it well :)

How about the quality? What I love about expensive powder is the texture. Love it. I apply it with my The Body Shop powder blush.

What I don't love is the staying power. To be honest, I haven't found a powder with good staying power....and that's pretty ironic since I don't have super-oily skin.

But still, I'm happy with the powder. Because it has gorgeous packaging. Because it's very expensive, hehehehe....

Price: IDR 465,000

Cerita Kucing Minggu Lalu

Foto: Ganteng lagi norak bobo di kardus sempit.

Minggu lalu, ibu2 pada lahiran: Sruntul dan Cemong.

Sruntul maunya di kandang, di bagian atas (kandang kucing gue ada bagian atas berupa semen dan bawah berupa pasir untuk WC), Cemong maunya di bawah. 'Mong gak mau pake box jadi anaknya bergetakan di pasir. Ih, jijay deh loe!

Sumber kenora'an adalah Cemong ketika lahiran. Percayakan kalau 'Mong minta ditungguin ama Mama sembari lahiran??? Mama gak boleh pergi, kalau Mama bergerak dia langsung loncat dari kardus. Dia juga megangin tangan Mama, hahahaha!! Lucu banget, sembari lahiran sembari dielus2...sembari ngomel2 pula!!! Mungkin kesakitan.

Sehabis itu, dia marahin semua (kucing) yang masuk ke ruang kucing.

Jadi ama Mama terpaksa ditaro di kandang. Untung dia mau, walaupun dia maunya di pasir dan gak pake kotak.

Is This Too Much??!

Participating in waste-reduction act gives me new attitude. I think it's little bit silly because now I feel terribly guilty everytime I generate inorganic waste!

Such as, 2 weeks ago I left my lunch box and the pads in my parents' house (it was long weekend so I brought my pads to Cibubur) and I went to Puncak for 3 days then went back to apartment (means: I left all the pads and lunch box), I had to wear disposables and ordered from canteen without lunch box and I felt guilty about it.

And because I use more water due washing the pads and towels, I ordered phosphate-free detergent.

Then I thought about skincares and cosmetics. I thought about their packaging that would go to trash can. Hmm....That leads me to The Body Shop, where you can return your empty bottles and I love the idea.

while using daily bodywash and body lotion from TBS still too expensive for me, probably I switch my skincare to TBS.

Oh God, is my attitude too much?

Phosphate-free Detergent

After the lunch box, the towels, the cloth pads, I'm thinking about something new....

..............

................

.......A phosphate-free detergent!!!

Gak keren banget ya, hahahha..

Having the pads and towels translates to the use of water. And now I use more water than I did before the pads-era. So I have to be responsible and ordered Amway detergent because it's phosphate-free.

Don't know the type of the detergent is because my aunt made the order. She ordered from her friend.

If you don't know why phosphate-free detergent is important, you can read this.

Loose Powder Hunting

Last Saturday we went to Plaza Senayan. I didn't plan for this so I was under-dressed to be honest. Just jeans and t-shirts with minimum makeup.

I was looking for medium/high coverage loose powder, something that can be applied without foundation, something like Sariayu loose powder (but I didn't mention that, too embarresed to say that in high end department store).

First we went to Dior counter in Sogo because I was attracted by Diorskin Nude powder. I read in reviews that Diorskin Nude was a good product....

....only to find out that the product wasn't available in Indonesia :(

But the SPG still offered another powder. I didn't remember the product name, but I left there with powdered face :P
I was only interested in Diorskin Nude, so I didn't buy anything.

Next destination is Make Up For Ever (MUFE). I heard that MUFE had a good powder called HD (High Definition) and I was interested. Turned out it was white powder but I tested it anyway. Without foundation, it has minimum coverage.

So here I was, powdered with Dior and MUFE and still looked natural..

Then we went to YSL counter. I really really adored their packaging. So fashionable, so sophisticated.....black and gold...and the lipstick...hmmm.......

.....they looked expensive :P

I tested on the lipstick ("I want the sheer one. Tinted lipcolor. No gloss") and mesmerized by the packaging. But I didn't buy the lipstick because I'm not a lipcolor fans and it's too expensive. I purchased the loose powder: Poudre Sur Mesure Semi-Loose Powder Natural Radiance

Long Weekend Activity

Yeah, minggu lalu Idul Adha merangkap long weekend :)

Namun sayang sekali, gue malah sakit pas keluarga gue ngumpul2..Jadi gue tepar aja di kamar.

Sabtunya gue dan Si AA ke Plaza Senayan...gue minta dibeliin bedak YSL, hehehe. Barangnya belum dipakai karena masih di Cibubur, so I'll post a review later :)

Berita tentang kucing tidak ada yang istimewa. Pada pilek, buduk, dan yang lucu tetap lucu. Ohya, anak kesayanganku Ganteng malah sakit batuk. Bandel sih dia, udah tau dingin malah bobo di luar (di rak tanaman, bawah jendela). Kasian liat dia sakit, biasanya lincah dan nakal, pas sakit loyo, tidur terus....

Malem2 karena gue takut dia nularin temen2nya, gue taro di rak yang tinggi dan gue selimutin :D
