Marina Smooth & Glow UV BB Cream, Two Way Cake & Compact Powder [review]

Hello everyone~ I believe this brand doesn't need introduction anymore. I don't remember since when me and my sisters used their products for the first time, probably since I was in elementary school ^_^ My sisters used to repurchase their hand & body lotions, and that's how I knew Marina for the first time. You may say that Marina is one of famous local cosmetic brands in Indonesia. Not only teenagers, adults like us also love Marina ;)

Halo semua~ Aku rasa merek yang satu ini udah ngga perlu perkenalan panjang lebar kali yaa.. Aku ngga inget sih kapan pertama kalinya aku dan sodara-sodara perempuanku menggunakan produk Marina, mungkin sejak aku masih di bangku sekolah dasar ^_^ Kakak-kakak perempuanku sering beli hand & body lotion mereka, dan itulah alasan kenapa aku kenal dengan merek Marina ini. Bisa dibilang Marina adalah satu dari sekian merek kosmetik lokal terkenal di Indonesia. Ngga hanya remaja aja yang suka, orang dewasa seperti kita pun juga suka sama Marina ;)

Good news for you! Recently Marina released their new cosmetic line named Smooth & Glow UV ♥

Marina Smooth & Glow UV series is consist of BB Cream, Two Way Cake, Compact Powder & Powdery Foundation. Due to my curiosity, I immediately bought 3 of them; BB Cream, Two Way Cake & Compact Powder :) Unfortunately I couldn't find the Powdery Foundation; maybe the distribution is still limited.

Marina Smooth & Glow UV is enriched with:

- SPF 20 PA++ to help protect skin from harmful UVA and UVB sunrays. To protect skin from UVB that can burn the skin and UVA that can darken your complexion

- Lemon extract to make skin look brighter and helps to diminish blemishes.

- Mulberry extract as moisturizer to help nourish skin and make complexion stay soft and bright without looking greasy.

Gaya Spa Surabaya: Body Massage [review]

Hello everyone! Few days ago I was invited by representative of Gaya Spa Surabaya, in order to visit their Spa place and try their service. Yes, you didn't read it wrong; Gaya Spa is now available in Surabaya! ;)

Actually I have read about Gaya Spa from my fellow beauty bloggers in Jakarta, and I was so excited when I heard that they finally expanded their wings to Indonesian second largest city, Surabaya! :D

Few days before my visit, they just had a soft launching event which I couldn't attend and they kindly arranged another appointment for me :) Thank you Gaya Spa!

Gaya Spa Surabaya can be found easily, because it's located on Dharmahusada Indah Timur main street, which is very near with Galaxy Mall; and placed on 3rd floor in Widjaja Asthma Center Clinic. I will show you the map at the end of this post.

Halo semua! Beberapa waktu lalu aku diundang oleh representatif dari Gaya Spa Surabaya, untuk mengunjungi tempat Spa mereka dan juga mencoba servis mereka. Yup, kalian ga salah baca kok; Gaya Spa sekarang udah buka di Surabaya lho ;) Sebenarnya aku pudah pernah dengar tentang Gaya Spa dari temen-temen sesama beauty blogger di Jakarta, dan aku excited banget pas tau Gaya Spa mulai ekspansi ke Surabaya :D

Beberapa hari sebelum kedatanganku kesana, sebenarnya mereka udah soft launching dan aku juga dapat undangannya; tapi karena aku berhalangan hadir pada saat itu, mereka berbaik hati mengaturkan jadwal untukku di lain waktu :) Makasih Gaya Spa!

Gaya Spa Surabaya sangat gampang ditemukan, soalnya terletak di Jalan raya Dharmahusada Indah Timur, yang dimana sangat dekat dengan Galaxy Mall; dan terletak di lantai 3 Klinik Asma Widjaja. Di akhir review akan aku sertakan juga mapnya nanti yaa..

First of all, you need to meet receptionists on 1st floor before go straight to 3rd floor. Why? Because the receptionists will call Gaya Spa's staff and then Gaya Spa's staff will escort you to 3rd floor. Every guest or customer in this building have to inform their intention to receptionist before wander around.

Pas aku masuk ke dalam gedung, aku mau buru-buru naik aja ke lantai 3 (karena letaknya Gaya Spa kan di lantai 3) dan pacarku langsung ingetin aku untuk lapor ke front office dulu di lantai 1 :P :P Aku kira bisa langsung hahaha. Setelah itu aku baru notice ada tulisan himbauan di dalam lift: "Di gedung ini setiap tamu atau pengunjung harap turun dan lapor di front office lantai satu."
