Hello, lovelies~ August is coming to an end, so it is with great joy that I present to you my beauty favorites throughout the month of August. Aside from it being a happy month because of Mr. G's birthday, I settled my own problems that I had earlier this month. Glad to say that I am happy to have found the solution to it~ Let me show you what my favorites are!

Hello, lovelies~ I was browsing the web the other day and found a website called sukamart.com. It is a place to buy groceries like shampoo, conditioner, seasoning, etc. They are having a 'Free Shipping' promotion until the 31 August 2013 for deliveries to Jabodetabek area. 

Hello, lovelies~ If you watched Youtube, you are probably already familiar with the Bioderma Sensibio H2O because most beauty Youtubers have been raving on and on about it. I, personally, have used it for a year and fell in love with this gentle yet powerful cleanser. Last Saturday, I was invited by the Bioderma team for a skin class to know better about the skin and Bioderma Sensibio H2O.

Hello, lovelies~ A week ago, I received a body product from a website called Yukcobain. This is an Indonesian website that lets you try various items from household items to beauty products. All you have to do is go to their website, click on the items that you would like to get your hands on, fill the form and wait to see if they chose you as one of their reviewers. I tried my luck and I got chosen as one of the reviewers for Vaseline Serum, yeay~ 

Hello, lovelies~ Since I have a lot of questions from you regarding skincare and how to treat it, I've decided to make a separate segment here called 'Ask DOAPJ'. I will try my best answer your questions regarding skincare and everything about it. I will be posting this segment in Indonesian since most of the questions are in that language. I hope you don't mind. There's always the translate button on the right. ^_^

Hello, lovelies~ Cleansing oil has been incorporated in my routine ever since I learned that my oily skin doesn't need to fear the power of oil for a deep and thorough cleansing process. I started using cleansing oils before my face wash and noticed that the acne on my face becomes less apparent ever since. A lot of beauty brands have come up with their own cleansing oil and so does FANCL, so I tried it for two weeks to see how it works for me.

Hello, lovelies~ How is August treating you so far? It has treated me like Cinderella since there were no house assistants at home, so I'm left doing chores, lol. No matter, we ate out most of the times, anyway. Mr. G has his birthday last week, but we celebrated the day after because I have to stay at home that time. We went to Happy Day, a restaurant along Juanda street that we often frequented.

Hello, lovelies~ Just a quick post to let you know that I've modified the tabs underneath my logo, so you'll have an easier time to search for the blog categories you want. I've also added a section called 'Ask Me!', where you're free to ask question which I will post on my blog weekly. So, enjoy visiting my blog! ^_^

Hello, lovelies~ a couple of months ago, when I went to Star department store at Kelapa Gading mall, I browsed through the Revlon counter. I wasn't looking for anything specific, but I found this item that I have yet to try, another foundation, lol. I know. I still haven't finished other liquid foundations, but I can't resist passing this one up, so I bought the oil control makeup from Revlon. I've used this for over a month and here is the review.

Hello, lovelies~ A few weeks ago, I received three of the Maybelline Color Sensational lipstick from Maybelline Indonesia for review. Thank you! I have already reviewed this line of lipstick from Maybelline a while back (link is here) and I love it. I won't go too much into reviewing the texture and longevity as I've already done so in this post, just click here to see a more detailed review on these lipsticks. In the meantime, enjoy the swatches for these three colors. 

I got three shades, each from a different class of colors, which are red, pink and beige brown. I rarely buy a nude brown shade, mainly because it doesn't look too good on me.

Hello, lovelies~ Even though CC creams are selling off the shelves like hot cake these days, I still have a place in my heart for BB creams. Probably because most CC creams are either too light for me or it's those white colored creams that changes color. Today, I'll be sharing my thoughts about the Klairs BB cream I received from WISHTREND a few weeks ago. 

Hello, lovelies~ I am not one to fuss a lot with my hair because I never grow them past my shoulders, so I never had any problems like dry ends.  However, my hair has already grew pas my shoulders now and it has been the longest I've ever experienced. I still use a silicone free shampoo, which is great for my scalp, but not so much for the ends of my hair. It becomes frizzy and very dry, so I decided to get a silicone based hair serum/vitamin because it works great on sealing the moisture inside those dry parts of my hair. In short, I bought the Lucido-L Vitamin Oil for my hair to try out. 

Hello, lovelies~ CC creams are probably one of the hottest beauty trend in Korea right now and most of the brands I know (Etude House, Tony Moly, etc) are coming up with their own version of the cream. I have been favoring the Rachel K CC cream since it matches my skin tone perfectly without creating that white or grey colored finish on my face. Personally, I feel that they're one of the same with BB creams in terms of texture and finish, but I'm always inclined to try out new things. Who doesn't? ^_^

Anyway, I prefer to have a light coverage base makeup because I still want some skin to show through instead of being covered for everyday routine. It doesn't need to make my complexion flawless, just enough to minimize the redness on my cheeks. That is why I don't like those CC creams that turned from white to beige because it still leaves a whitish cast on my face. This product from Nature Republic is a tinted CC cream, so I tried it out. Plus, it was on discount of Qoo10 for Rp 100,000, so I got it. ^_^

There is more than one type of CC cream in this collection from Nature Republic, but I went with the tinted one to reduce the chances of a whitish cast on my face. This is a good move from Nature Republic because not everyone is going to have the same needs when looking for a CC cream.

Hello, lovelies~ This is just going to be a short post on what I bought these past week, beauty wise. I also got a couple of those acnes facial sheet masks, but forgot to include it in the picture below. I haven't really posting my hauls on my blog here anymore, have I? Oh well, here is one to make up for it. 

Hello, lovelies~ I have been using Bioderma H2O Sensibio (the one with the pink cap) for nearly a year now and I am loving every drop of it. I have already reviewed it in depth in my post right here. Just excuse the lousy pictures, it is a year old and you can see how much of a newbie I am in the blogging realm, lol. In this post, I'll tell you why I deemed this as my must-have beauty product. Let's go!

Hello, lovelies~ I received a couple of lippies from Maybelline Indonesia a few weeks ago, introducing their Color Sensational line. I have already reviewed the Color Sensational lipsticks here. You can just click on this link to read an in-depth review on it, but I haven't tried their matte range. For those who just can't get enough of matte lipstick, let's go start the review!

The brand new lipstick has a plastic seal with the words BOLD MATTE by Color Sensational that nearly covers the whole case. I haven't seen the other shades, but I reckon the cases resembles the color of the lipstick inside. That's just an assumption, though, so don't quote me on that.
