Luview One Touch Brush Sun Powder [review]

Hello everyone~ (≧∇≦)/ Have a great Sunday! :D
Today i'd like to share my thoughts about a loose powder named Luview One-Touch Brush Sun Powder, have you heard about Luview 러뷰? For a short explanation, Luview is a Korean Cosmetic Brand which was established on 2010 :) Luview means Luminous + View = Luminous View with the oriental color. 

LUVIEW found a clue for the secret of the beautiful skin from the highly optimized oriental formula, a unique combination of carefully selected natural ingredients and the most advanced dermatology that provide vibrant color while soothing them with comforting moisture all day long The oriental color makeup brand LUVIEW enables 20's radiant and natural skin with the intensive color and 30's elegant and natural skin care

Luview is one of the young cosmetic corporations in Korea, and currently expanding their business throughout worldwide ;) They have stores in Korea, Japan, Guangzhou China, Thailand, USA and Vietnam. Hopefully they could open a store in Indonesia soon ^^ *pray*

Okay, back to the product! 

Features: SPF50/PA+++, UV-protectioncosmeceutical, talc-free
Created by highly optimized formula, which from the natural elements and the most advance dermatology

Packaging: sleek, profesional-look, made from sturdy plastic, but kinda bulky.
The product height is approximately 8 cm *_*


This loose powder is able to protect skin from harmful UVA & UVB rays. Suitable for any skin-color and skin-type. The sebum control powder takes care of the glossy to maintenance the skin moisturized.

Because the ingredients are written in Hangeul, I tried to translated them all.. but it ended up by dizziness xD lol.. I don't have enough knowledge of ingredients terms.. so translate the Korean ingredients into English ingredients make me confused ヽ(@_@)/ *get slapped*


Ingredients:
I only could translated few of them.. T,T sorry.. 
As you can see.. this loose powder contains Paraben substance.. but don't worry.. they're placed on last ingredients of the list.. it means they only give small portion contribution and the dosage is still tolerable (´∀`)
But the good news is, this product doesn't contains alcohol, fragrance and mineral oil. So this product is safe for sensitive skin ^^


the brush is attached in the product.. so efficient, isn't? ^^

What I don't like about the packaging is.. I can't open up the second section of this loose powder >.< It kinda be troublesome when I want to take huge amount of the product and I can't open the separator between loose powder and filter.


The brush:
The bristles is quite soft and not stiff. This kind of brush could be the advantage and be the disadvantage of this product. The advantage point is you will not lose the brush. The disadvantage point is you need to wash the brush frequently, or the brush will transfer germs and bacteria into the jar.


The jar and filter:
Before and after opened :) the jar was sealed when I received the product at the first time.

on the piece of paper and on my fingers
Swatch:
the particles of this loose powder is transparent and soft, could blends onto skin nicely :)
I usually use this loose powder to set my BB cream application.

Overall Verdict:
I quite like this product :) I have combination skin, and my T-zone didn't shiny after 4-5 hours (of course, depends on the weather at the moment :P)
PS: I have used this product for around 2 months.


What I love <3
+ The brush is quite soft and not stiff
+ Nice and silky finishing result
+ Has SPF50/PA+++
+ Doesn't contains mineral oil, alcohol and fragrance
(please correct me if i'm wrong xD)
+ The packaging doesn't looks cheap

What I hate </3
- The packaging is kinda bulky
- The filter is too small IMHO
- I can't open the separator of this product '_'
- Hard to find in Indonesia T_____T

Rating: 3.8/5 (I will give 4.5 points if Luview could be found in Indonesia easier)

Recommended? Yes :)
Repurchase? Maybe (^_^) It's a good product!




Have a nice day everyone~ ;)
Thanks for reading ^^

Bath & Body Works Anti-Bacterial Hand Gel [review]

Heyyy everyone~ Today I'll show you some variants of Bath & Body Works Anti-Bacterial Hand Gel to be reviewed :D
Some of you may recognize this product as BBW Hand Sanitizer as well.
I bought these babies few weeks ago from my friend. I believe the price range of this product is around IDR 25,000-75,000 depends on what benefit you will receive.
I didn't interested to buy the PocketBac, so I just bought the Anti-Bacterial Hand Gel itself.

left to right: Mocha Mousse, Jelly Jam Donut, Zombie Tonic Marshmallow, Dipped Strawberry, Raspberry Ganache Swirl

Packaging:
Easy to bring, fit into any purse, made from plastic and secure cap. Has tons of variants with different colors, fragrances and labels.

Currently I only own the mocha mousse, raspaberry ganache swirl and zombie tonic marshmallow :D because I have given the dipped strawberry and jelly jam donut to the winners of my latest giveaway

*Mocha Mousse: Scent of Mocha, so yummy :p LOL
*Zombie Tonic Marshmallow: Scent of Marsmallow, not too strong

*Raspberry Ganache Swirl: Scent of sweet raspberry.


I don't know why some variants made by glittery liquid and some variants made by sprinkle liquid o.o 
I admit that their colors are so attractive.. But I'm worry what will be happened if I use this product and let the artificial color be absorbed into my skin continuously..

Actual Price: $1,50

Texture:
Like other common hand sanitizer, gel texture and easy to adsorb.

The descriptions.. Clear enough isn't it? :)


I heard that fake BBW is now available in many places, is it true? o.O
We must be careful then!

not tested on animals, yay!

Overall verdict, I quite like these hand anti-bacterial gels :) their scents are so fresh, sweet yet quite strong. Another plus of this product is, the fragrance is last longer than usual hand sanitizer!


Repurchase? Not sure.. Maybe if I meet another great deal hehe ^^


Thanks for reading fellas :)

Helloooo everyoneeee... Have you ever heard about a nail polish brand named piCture pOlish? \(´▽`)/ Not yet? You're not alone :p This was my first time heard about this brand as well! 
piCture pOlish is a brand which comes from Australia, has many variants of nail polish along with their unique names & colors! :3

This time, I tried piCture pOlish in Peaches n' Cream color. Look at the description, "for all the sweet sweet girls!" ( ˆ▽ˆ) I agree with this statement, this color is so sweet and girly! ♥♥
The color is pastel peach, similar with pastel pink color IMO. I love this color, so wearable for everyday (✿◠‿◠) sweet and feminine, yet not childish~

the ingredients
Content: 11ml 
Made in Australia

*Packaging* Made from sturdy glass, with rounded shape bottle
*Color* Opaque color, only need 1-2 coats for each nail
*Texture* not thick at all, yet quite watery. Easy to spread, and easy to apply :)
*Formula* It dries quite fast

Swatch:

Swatch on my nails:
outdoor light
I'm wondering why the peach color turns into pastel pink color on my nails *_*
The fact is, the colors really similar with pastel pink color, despite the name of this nail polish variant is "Peaches n' Cream"

artificial light
Though the color is not as peachy as I wanted before, I loveeeeee this nail polish :3
*pinky lover alert* xD
Really want to collect other colors!! ♥♥

What I love <3
+ Has many variants of pastel colors 
+ Opaque color, only need 1-2 coats for each nail
+ Dries quite fast
+ Made from sturdy glass, suitable for a sloppy person like me ;p lol

What I hate </3
- Only can buy it via online

My selca when using this nail polish:
I wish you can see the colors of my nails xD

very sweet & wearable color, isn't it? It has nice quality as well (≧∇≦)/ 


Thanks to BubbleTalk Shop who has kindly sent me this nail polish (*^▽^*) 
 Though this is a sponsored item, all my opinion is honest and based on my personal experience :)

If you are interested to try this piCture pOlish by yourself, feel free to contact them:
They only sell 100% ORIGINAL products, of course they're a trusted online shop :)
Besides of piCture pOlish, they also sell OPI, Orly, Essie, Ozotic, and so on

Mini October Haul!

Happy Halloween to all of you who are currently celebrating it, or celebrated it yesterday! :D Unfortunately I skipped this year (to make over myself for Halloween look) because lack of time and lack or preparation >.< I guess will do something different than usual for Halloween celebration next year.

This will be a quick post! Mini October Haul! :) Yes, I didn't spend much money last month because I'm still unemployed T_T I need to find a good job as soon as possible. After graduated from university, another frustrating matter besides thesis is OF COURSE find a job which is suits me best. Humm.. Please wish me luck to find a job soon >.<
Or, if you're living in Surabaya and have a potential job position to be offered (I graduated with S,E or Sarjana Ekonomi degree :p Management Major, Economic Faculty), please let me know :) I will really appreciate it hehe..

Here we go, my October Haul~
Consists of:
1. Tresemme Deep Repair Shampoo
2. Tresemme Deep Repair Conditioner
3. L'oreal White Perfect Eye Re-lighting Whitening
(Double Eye Zone Brightener)
4. Nivea Sun Kids Sunscreen SPF25/PA+++
5. Biore Pore Pack

You may wonder why I bought Nivea Sun Kids instead of Nivea Sunscreen SPF50? Because it's cheaper 8D ROFL! Another reason is I tend to being in indoor room, so I thought SPF25 is enough :p

Freebies~
