Beauy Buffet Cannoli Duo Gloss

I bought this lip gloss when I visit Thailand last year on their local beauty product store at MBK (Mah Boong Krong).

My first consideration when I decided to purchased this because I run out my old lip gloss and the packaging is cute! Hahaha

As you can see, the box concept are like bakery shop with the polkadot and plaid pattern detail which is so cute. Ah, FYI, I bought their other products along with this one. I bought the nail polish and the Eclair Balm. The lip balm is the best lip balm ever that I ever had and it's only cost me 90 THB!

What I like from this product line, they provide information in english on the back of the box like the ingredients, how to apply this and else. Not like the most of korean products (except Etude House) who usually written in korea and didn't have english translation

For this duo gloss, they had few color but I chose this one because I never had red color of lip products.

This product has 2 color as you can see on the pic, the left side is red and the right side is pink. But actually the red one is like a tint rather a gloss. It really not glossy at all and even not moisturize. And the pink one is transparent when I applied it on my lips.

But I really like this product because it has a fruity smell. The red one is smell like a cherry and the pink one smell like a fruit also but I can't describe what kind of smell it is.

This lip gloss is the only one lip gloss that I often used because the color was great. It gave my lip a great red natural shade and didn't look like I wore a red color lipstick or red color lipgloss. But if I took a photo when I wore this lip gloss, the color of my lip didn't show up at it should. So it looked like I didn't wear any lip product on my lip but it doesn't look pale also.

Oh, and the color also so easy to faded away after I drink or eat something and it didn't leave a bit of the color of the lip gloss on my lip

For the price, I don't remember exactly how much it cost but if I convert it to IDR at that time, It cost about IDR 110-150.

FYI, if you want to purchased this one, it haven't available in Indonesia but you can purchased this when you visit Thailand. It easy to find beauty buffet store because it available in every mall and even there're more than one store in a mall.

Likes:

- The color looks great in my lip, natural red color

- The packaging is so cute

- Smell goods

- Provide info in english

Dislikes:

- Not available in Indonesia

- The color is easy to faded away

- A lil bit pricey

Clean and Clear active clear speed clearing acne gel

As I said on my post before that The Face Shop clean acne spot corrector was discontinued so I choose this acne gel from clean and clear to replace it.

As you guys know clean and clear is a drugstore product line for people who has oily skin and acnes. And I heard a lot of compliments about this product line.

Based on what written on the front packaging, this acne gel reduces appearance of acne from 4 hours and salicylic acid formula works faster than cleansing alone.

this acne gel helps reduce appearance of acne fast. The fast acting micro-gel formula clears pimples from 4 hours. Helps reduce the appearance of redness - from 4hours, size - from 4 hours. Fast and clinically proven solution for acne prone skin, leaves skin noticeably clearer.

How to use it?

Same with the spot corrector from The Face Shop, just put this gel on the spot of pimples/ acne

I use this after I washed my face in the night and put this on and leave it until the morning. No need to rinse it or else (just in case, you ask)

The texture of the gel is same like the other gel, not too sticky

If you ask for the effectiveness, honestly I used this once and never use this again because I am too lazy (lol) but when I applied this on the acne that I had, the acne get better and even the acnes is clear from my face on the day after.

For the packaging itself, I think the box is quite big! on the other hand, the acne gel tube inside the box is small. but the tube is travel friendly because it small and it only contain 10g and smaller than The Face Shop spot corrector.

For the price, I think it's quite okay, not cheap but a lil bit pricey for this amount. But for me it's okay because it really work to reduce the acnes. 

Oh, this product also work on my sis not only me. I think this one not only for people who had oily skin but also normal skin because my sis had a dry-normal skin.

Likes:

- Really works on me

-Travel friendly (pro and cons)

- The price is okay if we compare with the effectiveness
- The packaging was great because I like tube packaging :)

Dislikes:

- Small amount, only consists 10g

- the box that quite big and not balance with the size of product inside

Repurchased?

Definitely yes!

The Face Shop - Clean Face Spot Corrector

It's my very first clean face series that I have

I heard this one from my friend, she said she use this for years and it really effective although the process to reduce acne scars is slow.

ps: I took this photo from the faceshop web

So, when I went to store few months ago, I bought this one to try it. 

What's written on the front tube

"tea tree oil, Quick clear complex, this new and improved quick clear complex treats oily or problem skin more quickly and effectively" 

The product contain 15ml

As you can see on the packaging, the price is IDR 110.000

I'm pretty sure if you bought this on the online shop, it would be more cheaper!

The packaging itself made from plastic and the shape was tube. 

For me the tube packaging is great because it can prevent the liquid became so messy around the lid and keep the lid clean.

When I applied it onto the spot where the acnes was, on the day after, the acnes became better and the shape became more small than before. 

I didn't expect this spot corrector is so effective like this. Not only me but few my friends who used this product also said that this one is effective but the process was not fast like mine. Maybe because I used the dermatologist treatments and used this one in the same time, so it helped my acnes got better so fast.

Unfortunately, this product only contain 15ml as I said above so it will run out so quickly.

Likes:

-Work effectively

-not too pricey but also not cheap

- great packaging

-no need to apply much amount of the product to the acne spot

Dislikes:

-small amount of the product contained (only 15ml)

Hair Milk HQ7

I found this one when I was shop in a supermarket in hair treatment section. This one caught my eyes because of the cute packaging which is colorful and there're the sample also at there.

This hair nutrients and protection has 4 variants with different packaging color, function and advantage and scent.

I don't remember exactly what's the function of each variants but the one I bought which is the orange one has the sweet orange scent, and have function to protects and keeps hair soft, smooth, healthy and strong.

It said, It contains 7 Active Ingredients ( Milk Extract, Honey Extract, Argan Oil, Zinc, UV Protection, Vitamin A, Vitamin B5) to protects and keeps hair soft, smooth, healthy and strong

How to use it?

Spray it onto your hair (after shampooing or dry hair). Comb your hair as usual, no need to rinse.

There's a hologram seal on the top of the packaging so don't buy it if the hologram seal is broken

well, in the packaging or in the bottle, you will see it said that this is for girls but it doesn't matter if we're not girls anymore and use this! I'm not a girls anymore but a young adult but I use this hehehe 

The bottle itself is quite small and travel friendly! It is only 50ml, so if you use this for daily use, for sure you will run out of this in a month or less, depend on how you using it.

For the price, it is so affordable. It only cost me IDR 25.000 if I'm not mistaken and you can purchase this in every big supermarket in Indonesia like Carrefour. In Giant, Hero or other mini mart, I'm not sure this one is available because I never check it :)

I rarely use it but my older sister who use this before me said this one is pretty good and her hair became more smooth and soft after use this for a month.

Likes:

- Cheap

- Easy to get (available in big super market in Indonesia)

Dislikes:

- Small size so it will run out quicker

NYX mosaic powder

I bought this blush a few months ago but I rarely used this one because the shade is too pink. I've other blush which is The Etude House Lovely Cookie Blusher #1 and this one is perfect to create natural look. So, I use the Lovely Cookie Blusher more often than this Mosaic Blush.

I'm not say this one is not good but for me that always create girly look, this blush is more suitable to use when I go to party or other formal occasion.

The packaging is so light and it made from plastic. I should say the packaging is okay, remind the price is so cheap. But what I like from the packaging, although the price of this product is cheap and the packaging quality reflects the price, the color are great and didn't make this product looks cheap.

The NYX Mosaic Blush is sooooo affordable which is only cost me IDR 149.000 in store but if you purchase it on online shop, I'm sure it is less than IDR 100.000.

I choose the MPB06 Rosey, which is Pink Shade. What I love from this blush, it contains 5 different shades but all of it are pink. 

As you guys can see, The top horizontal one is the most soft pink colour, the top right one is the darker pink shades, the middle one is a bit orange (actually it is pink orange), the lower right one is the glitter pink shade and the lower one beside the glitter is the 2nd darker pink shade.

How to use it:

Just swirl it a bit, don't dip and press your blusher too much on to it and swirl it once lightly or your cheek gonna look like soooooo pink!

Likes:

- It is so affordable, only cost me IDR 149.000

- There are 5 shades in one blusher

- Easy to bring for travel because it is so light weight

- Perfect shade to use when I have formal occasion

Dislikes:

- It will be too pink if I dip and press my blusher too much onto this

- Can't create pink natural cheeks with this blusher

Repurchased?
Maybe but will purchase the different shades

Note: I use this blush in this picture but the sunlight makes my make up didn't look as it should be so my cheek didn't look pink as it should in this pic

How to avoid breakout if we discontinue using dermatologist treatments

Well, I had a very very problematic breakout and acnes all over my face 2years ago

all of the acnes are red, big and itchy. Actually since I was a teenager, I'm not a girl who had flawless skin or far from acnes. I had acnes and pimples on my face but not much, just few.

When I was in the 2nd year as university students, my face became much worse and worst.

Here's the sneak peak of my face back then

Note: This is not my bareface. I already used my dermatologist cream and else for 2-3 days and I used foundation and loose powder that has good coverage for my skin.

As you can see the acnes and pimples were worse and after I used dermatologist for 6months, my pimples and acnes got so much better. But I still got the acnes and there're scars left.

And, my face got burned and the skin were clogs off. My face really looks like a crab! LOL

And I stopped using all of my dermatologist cream and other dermatologist products for 2 weeks because the skin clogs off a lot. Then, I used it again for a week and it turn back to clogs off again. So, I stop used it again for a month and only use my suncream from The Skin Food.

Fortunately, my skin became better and I start used my dermatologist cream again but not frequently. I only used the cleanser gel, cream and not using the liquid cream in the morning. And for the night treatment, I didn't use it anymore. I only put on my moisturizer after washed my face with Garnier Facial Foam PURE Active.

A month ago, my face turned back like that again. My face was red and clogs off. Then I stop used all of the dermatologist treatments until now. And fortunately, my face didn't break out!

This is my face look like after 4months stop using the night treatments

Here my tips to avoid breakout by stop using dermatologist treatments!

1. Try to used the dermatologist cream twice a week for a months. You must stop used it step by step, not totally stop using it because it will make your skin breakout

2.Use it twice a week

3. Only use it third times in two weeks

(after that, don't stop using it but try to stop it step by step and you can decided by yourself, want to use it once a week or etc)

4. Always washed your face with Facial Foam that suit your skin regularly twice a day 

5. Put moisturizer after you washed your face in the night

Note: I can't guarantee it will works on you guys because everyone has different types of skin but this one is work for me.

Oh FYI, when I used the dermatologist treatments for the first time until the last time I used it, I didn't used it frequently and regularly. Sometimes, I skip the night treatment! because I'm kinda a lazy person. LOL

I hope my tips will help you guys who wants to stop used dermatologist treatments but afraid your face will breakout

xoxo,

Ellen
