Tutorial : Easy Christmas Snow Gradation Nail

Christmas is in the air but  I haven't blogged anything about it!!! I was so busy with final exam and thesis. D: So tired and barely have enough sleep. But I'd passed everything and now I got a bunch drafts to be finished!!! December is also a special month because my BF birthday and my anniversary with him is on December!! :D I'm so excited preparing something this year. Will reveal it soon.. *pinky promise*

So I was coming with an idea to bring a little winter theme on my nail. I'm so excited because I was really into nail art mood lately, but always have no time to do it. It takes so much patience to paint them one by one and let them dried. Well I always end up with messy polishes because hardly could wait the polishes dried.

Enough with random rambles. So here we come!

You can pick any color that you like :) I choose white-blue gradation because I want to achieve cool winter effect.

What do you need?

1. Base Coat

2. Any nail polishes that you like

3. Glittery nail polishes

4.Top Coat

 First of all, put on the base coat on your nail to give them more protection :)

Put on the base color. I'm using pearly white. You can add more layers to achieve a bolder color.

Start to paint some color on the edge of your nails. At this part, your nail might be a little bit messy but never mind. The next step will 'amazingly' conceal them.

Put the glittery nail polishes and top coat. And you're done!

So easy and simple, right?

I think the most difficult think at doing this is for having patience. I ruined the nice gradient many times because my hand cannot be a good girl and keep moving LOL. So yeah, make sure you are not in hurry when you wanna try them. 

Another useful tips. A sheer polishes could help to create the gradient easily ;)

It's suitbale for ocassional party or special events too. So easy la so you don't need to go to nail salon hahahaha. You also can add rhinestones, snowflake stamp or nail stickers to make it more beautiful. :) If you'd succeed make one, please let me know because I really wanna see your creation too :D

Will catch up with another post later. ;) If you have any question or request, feel free to ask on my formspring :)

Review : Lip on Lip Pure Lips and Watercolor

Dry and chappy lips? A BIG NO! I was concerned about dry lips lately and addicted with lipbalm ever since. My mother always yelled at me to drink more water after seeing my dry lips. D: My lipstick also can't glides smoothly on my flaky lips. -_- so yeah I need to do something.

All You Can Eat at Standing Sushi Bar

I was drowned with my internship and also assignment. I think I will continue working at my current office to gain more money for the sake of my laptop! I even get lack of rest. T_T I still haven't used with my new routine and straightly off to bed after office hour. Hopefully I could manage my time to blog again soon. I feel like left behind already D:

So for those food junkie outside there, you might sit properly because I'm going to review a new sushi resto that I visited with my office mates lately. :D

[Sponsored] Say Goodbye to Unwanted Hair with ZAP

Few weeks ago, I was invited by ZAP to try on their hair removal treatment. :) Of course I was so excited. Actually, I don't have thick hair on my arm or legs. T_T But there are some 'visible' hair on my underarm and it was so annoying if I have to shave, wax every time I wanna wear sleeveless clothes.

ZAP uses the most advanced tecnhology in today's world market for removing 'unwanted hair' quicky, safely, and pain-free. -Quoted from ZAP Official Site 

On my way to ZAP. No traffic but got lost because of car free day and my smartass thoughts LOL. We've passed ZAP for about 3 times I guess?  And do you know that ZAP has just opened ZAP Cafe ? Since I and Pat love cafe so much, he agreed to wait at the cafe while I'm having my treatment. So a win win solution for us hahaha :p

Review : New Lux White Collection

It's pretty cloudy lately in Jakarta. It's raining almost everyday. @_@ So sometimes I love to spent a little time to cheer up my mood in the morning or even just to relax myself after a long tiring day. :) One of my favorite time to pamper myself is my happy bath time. :D

So this is my favorite body wash at the moment from LUX. The New White Collection. 

LUX WHITE GLAMOUR and LUX WHITE RADIANCE

New Revlon Photoready Airbrush Foundation and Color Correcting Primer

I  only swatched them once and test the product on my hand, so this is a perfect time to test them out.

Event Report : Skin Aqua Beauty Talk

Last week, I was invited by Skin Aqua to attend their beauty event at Tartine, FX.

Actually, Skin Aqua has been launched for a while in Indonesia, but do you know that Skin Aqua is different with sunblock?? :P If you don't know then you better continue reading.

Biore 2 in 1 Cleansing Wash

Sometimes when we are tired already after a long day doing our activity, we're kinda bothered to remove our makeup before we straightly go to the bed. Am I wrong? LOL. Well, to be honest sometimes I did it too. I need something that could wipe off my makeup clean  super quickly.

Therefore, I'm interested to give this a try. It was on sale 35% when I bought it. Okay that's probably the main reason why I buy this. LOL

BIORE 2 IN 1 CLEANSING WASH

My Favorite Snack, Golden Egg Tart!

I'm a big fan of Asian food!! I love Chinese Food, Japanese Food, and of course Indonesia food as well. I love sweets especially. Ice, cream, cakes, biscuit, you name it!No wonder I'm getting fat lately! *cries*As I saw this voucher was super cheap on Disdus, I decided to buy coupon for these egg tarts!!!

Get ready to droooolllsss... :P

TEMPTING or NOT??

It's pretty cheap even without any discount. And I just love egg tarts so much!! *.* Affordable price with a good taste! I usually bought the traditional only, but I can't resist to try the others. But still I recommend the traditional as the other tastes pretty weird for an egg tart. Less is more! I even don't really fan the portuguese one.The tart was made with pastry dough and this is the first time I don't like pastry. The pastry become soft and not crunchy at all. But Pat loves it so I picked two of them. It is also best served with hot tea. Super yummy!

The filling is quite sweet, so I don't really recommend this those who doesn't love to eat sweets. You can buy them at Golden Egg Tart store in Gandaria City or Mal Kelapa Gading. :3 Each tart will only cost you around Rp 6.000,00. So cheap! 

Just never visit any bakery or sweets shop when you're on a diet. Or you will end up buying them like me. -.- #helpless. Hahahahahah... see you next time! <3

My Ultimate Wishlist

I was feeling super tired with my hectic schedule. Tons of work for mid-term and office. I feel like wanna faint and lay down on my bed all day long enjoying my free time. Dx  Well I did googling, browsing as usual for my works but I end up with so many things that I wanna buy, so I will share about what's in my mind now! :P

READY OR NOT? 

There are some gadgets and also so new make-up wish list though. It's gonna be a longggg post! xD Let's counting.

1.New laptop! ASUS N46 VM

It's been a long battle between Windows and Macbook in my head. So in short I choose Windows because of financial matters. It's just way too expensive for me. And my friend pick this type for me. I don't know but he swear that this is the best he can recommend to me. So yeah, it's going on my no. 1 list. I need a new laptop that could work smoother, and handle such a really heavy work. I wish I could get it as soon as possible!

2. Sony Alpha NEX-5N

You might scream at me,"You have an SLR already!! Why do you want a new camera??" First of all, I've to explain that my SLR camera is super big and not travel friendly. And it gives my shoulders so much pain if I have to bring it everywhere. People were always staring at me when I use my SLR camera. I was trying on  Sony Alpha nex 7 at my office for work purposes and omg I LOVE IT!! My boss who is a professional photographer also said that he prefer to use this camera than his SLR especially for daily basis. Okay that's what a pro said! I was asking about how the autofocus for video recording and he said it's really smooth. I youtube-ing already and YESSSS.....it's really smooth!! My DSLR camera was pretty bad in video recording autofocus.So I just really really wanna exhange my SLR with this camera. He even can use this camera for professional matter!! Dx #what!!

 I was kinda surprised and  I did google about this camera. Google said that it is the combination between pocket camera and SLR. It is called Mirrorless Interchangeable-Lens Camera or MILC. So you can get a high quality image as an SLR could do with a body as small as pocket camera could be. The price are also in average line for me. SLR itself isn't cheap, right. Google if you're still confused. Still wanna buy an SLR now?  #grin

3. Skinfood Black Sugar Mask

Ran out of any exfoliating product and I simply remember how I've been wanted to try this since a long time. Still super curious about this product. Some people said it's too harsh but some people also said it does a good job. Since I'm pretty sure that my skin is 'badak' enough, so I will try it LOL.

4. Skinfood Rice Mask Wash Off

Another old wishlist. But I think I need to take care of my skin more. These two masks are the my most loved products from skinfood so far. Okay, I haven't give it a try, not even once. But I'm just pretty sure that it would be suitable for my skin LOL. I've been really satisfied using Skinfood products since it use natural ingredients as their core. :3

5. Etude House Surprise Concealer

Super duper need a good concealer that easy to travel with and works great. This one the only thing that comes in my mind. Well I don't really love to use palette-concealer type. It's just messy and not easy to travel with. 

6.Etude Tear Drop Liner

Has been want to try on this cute liner since a long time. But I was on a really tight budget to buy my laptop first. :\ So I can't buy any make-up thingy. But I really want this !!! I love glitters, shining things, and so on so bad!

7.Coastal Scent 78 Shadow Blush Palette

This is such a cheap alternatives for a student like me. You need more color to experiment with but you have no budget at all. It's the same condition when you wanna paint a painting but you didn't have enough color. And of course I can't mixed eyeshadow colors to create new color just like what I do with my poster paint. But still, waiting when Coastal Scent is on sale and they shipped to Indonesia!!

8.Mascara

I'm not really a mascara person. Lately, I love to use false lashes LOL because I need more time to clean off those mascara. But I think mascara can be a saviour when you need to meet a client, or when you have to go for an interview, and so on. I was talking like I'm a super busy businesswoman la! *what the hell* hahahaha. But seriously, sometimes in a real world, people judge you from your appearance. So mascara and eyeliner were my precious saviour! It can gives a hint of life to your eyes especially my half-dead eyes. >.> Hahahaha.... there's too many option though and I just cannot decide which one is suitable for my personal use.

9. Traincase

I was seriously need to organize my make-up and I wanna buy a traincase to store all my make-up. My mom has been complaining about the amount of my make-up that scattered everywhere. Well I always put some products that I use often in different place. So it's kinda looks messy that I didn't store all of them in a proper place. Well, in fact yeah it's kinda not well organized. @_@ #bad

10. Nail polishes!

I was not into nail polish thingy, not until I realize how fun to paint on my nail. My passion in art has become wider. LOL And I need some more color to paint my nails! T_T the problem is I almost buy everything online and choosing nail polish online is kinda hard. Besides they only had some shades to be chosen, I also cannot tried them first. So yeah... I think I need to build up my nail polish collection.

So yeah... I'm focusing on this list for now. Not sure if I wouldn't change my mind especially for the make-up parts. Or is there anybody who wanna sponsors LOL?? #kidding. I think I will spent my first salary to buy most of them.... Well I did realize that I'd been such a really bad blogger by making my readers read all this so-un-important list of mine. I was just really bored and tired because of exam and works. T ^ T

Any request for next post??? Would loce to hear from you too... :D

Glam Make Up Look Inspired by Election Day

Hello everyone! I was really in a mood to play with make-up lately! Since I were really busy on weekdays and only do sorta lazy thingy on weekend, so I barely have time to play with my babies. And this time the inspiration comes from.....

My ink-stained nail!! The ink from the election for Jakarta's next deputy.

Can you believe that???

Okay some of you might think it is ridiculous... but well I think it's such a good color combination LOL, so I did an experiment with my eye make-up. :3 Here we go.

1.Prep your face. Put on the foundation, concealer, etc to make sure your face is ready to be painted with color! Don't forget the eye primer this time to make the color stay vibrant and still!

2.Put on matte pink eyeshadow on the inner corner and the shimmery pink eyeshadow on the rest.

I'm using my beloved Sleek Oh So Special Palette. I'm run out of money. I was thinking of buy another eyeshadow palette but I need to save for my future laptop.T ^ T #poor

 3. Put on dark purplish color on your crease and blend well. Build up the color several time if it necessary to make it more pop out. Especially for the pink color.

4. Put on the purplish color on your lower line halfway. It gives a big difference and an illusion of big-longer eyes.

5. Line tightly with liquid eyeliner and create a wing.

 I was ran out of scotch tape...

6. Put some silver eyeshadow or eyeliner in the lower inner corner and your tear duct for brighten effect.

7. Countouring and blush.  I need to get rid of my flat nose and chubby cheeks as usual.

Any lips color that you prefer. To match the pink eyeshadow, this pink lips never fails me. For special events, you can pick any bold lip color such as plum, fuchsia, or even red. Don't forget to put on the falsies for more dramatic eye look :D

As I was going with Pat, I tried to minimize the drama look LOL. >.>

Ready to go!!

BEWARE! Many photos are coming.

 My un-smile pose. ~,~

Okay, that's all... I should stop before someone complained LOL. xD

This is the last one I promise...

Have a nice weekend and see you next time, ladies! <3

Recent Life Story

Good day everyone! Still feeling sick because I got a bunch of works! Not only from my college but also at my office. I spend all my single day either at college or office. T ^ T Pretty tiring. Since the office hour ends on 6 pm, so after I go home I straightly do my assignment or take a rest. Even I can't really rest on Saturday since I have a freelance job as a teacher, and still do my assignment which  I think aren't hard but super time consuming. :x

But life is way too good to be missed even when I'm super busy at the moment! 

I did some illustration again lately.

Media : watercolor.

I draw this as an entry for a game. :3 I played this game quite a long time ago. Who plays this game too?

But unfortunately I didn't win. Finish it in 2 nights LOL, such a really hurry. I also work on other illustration and paintings. But the progress was kinda slow if I'm not pursued by a deadline LOL. Such a really moody artist xD.

Based on my passion in art, I'm officialy an 'asma' (asisten mahasiswa) a.k.a assistant on Illustration class now! Well, not really something. I'm not even interested with the fee. People asked my why am I interested to teach since there's a rumour that my faculty paid us (asma) quite low. That's not really my point. I need to experienced the difference between teaching an elementary student and a college student. :x Idealism? I just enjoy my current job as an educators. I hope one day I could be a real one and of course a good one! <3 But I do feel so old when they called me 'cici' (used to called an elder sister).... you're only a year younger than me and you call me cici!!!  NOOOOO!!!! Dx.. I know they're a good students and tried to be polite but still....

I was also saving up for buying a laptop for myself since I realized it's kinda hard for me to work without a new computer. That's why I didn't buy any cosmetics again. T ^ T My PC is getting old and can't handle such a super complicated task. T________T I need to buy a new one before my PC explode. I still confused about what kind of laptop that I should buy.

Macbook or Windows?

I prefer to buy Macbook at the beginning, considering my current job as a graphic designer. But lately, I found out that Mac's specification is so-so but the price is way too expensive compared to the other laptop with the same specification. I know Mac looks sophisticated.. Mac has more features such as A,B,C,D,  but yeah... I'm confused. :\ Most of programs are compatible with windows but not with Mac. So now I'm confused T___________T it's way too expensive for me. I recently think I will go with a cheaper alternatives if it can perform as good as Macbook could do. But yeah, still have no option. T_T Any suggestion for me? I would love to hear your opinion.

I'm on my last year in college too (old already huh?). So, yeah everything is getting serious.
:\ In fact, it's only a paper and I never think that I will be in such a big trouble. I was really okay back then when I need to write 15 pages of paper or essays in a night. But it tooks forever to write a single page now.

What happen to you brainy??? T ^ T feels like stuck and I can't even find a single word to continue my sentences. #crap

My schedule is quite tight, so I didn't eat properly. When I'm hungry, I tend to eat more. And I just did realize I'm way too fat now. T___________T My jeans aren't fit me anymore. #cries!

Can I just eat without worry of being fat? I never really works on a diet. So yeah, let's see how long I will survive. :\ I'd stopped eating any crap carbo, red meats, sweets but can't helped myself to eat ice cream. T ^ T  Usually after I got sick, I lost some kgs in an instant! *hopefully*

I think I still have to learn. I haven't achieved anything. Not even closer. But I do believe that the harder you work, the closer you go. I know this is such a really hard time for me to stand against all of this madness. But I believe there's something good afterward. As long as I'm running on something that I'm passionate about and I'm chasing my dream. :D There's no magic in this world that could turn your dream into the real world. Get up and make it real!

Well, I should stop blabbering now before you guys get bored... hahahaha. I should go back to my bed. Have a nice day everyone. Bye bye!
