My Back to School Makeup Essentials


So, tomorrow is D day for another study day. My fifth semester of University will start in a couple hours. How exciting! As a beauty addict, when I start to think about back to school, I will also think about my makeup/ beauty essentials. To me, makeup essentials were both which I wear and I keep in my makeup bag for a little touch up during the day.

  • BB Cream
This semester I will go for as-natural-as-possible makeup look. I think makeup for school must be natural, fresh, but still look radiant to keep me look healthy. I used to use foundation to school, but start from tomorrow, I will use BB cream instead. Since it's so light and has a watery-like consistency, BB cream will give a flawless natural finish. Mine is from Maybelline.

  • Baby Lips Lipbalm
My other makeup or beauty or cosmetic essentials (how mouthful is that?) which also from Maybelline is the baby lips lip balm. I have massively dry lips especially during the colder months so I will need a lipbalm in my makeup bag. I heard so many good thing about Maybelline Baby Lips Lipbalm, and I happen to know that Macbarbie07 aka Bethany Mota love it, so I'm excited to put it on my makeup essentials. I have 3 of them and none of them have been opened yet. But excited to try that tomorrow!

  • Eyelash Curler
Now maybe you think it's weird to put Eyelash Curler in my makeup essentials, but as an Asian girl, I don't have eyelashes as big as you guys who may not Asian. That's why without this baby my eyes will not look awake enough.

  • Eyeliner Pencil & Mascara
Because liquid or pen liner will be a little tricky to use for touch up, I rather bring pencil liner with me to school. And for mascara, just bring any mascara that you enjoy to use. My favorite at the moment is Oriflame Fatlash Blackout Mascara. I find that mascara with plastic brush is easier to use than the bristle one. Besides, it also gives a natural finish (which I like) and doesn't make my eyelashes look clumpy.

  • Lipstick or Liptint
Well, if you're lucky enough and you can get your hands on Maybelline Baby Lips US version, you probably don't need lipstick or liptint anymore. But sadly, for what I called Maybelline Baby Lips Asian version, is only available in clear shade means it's purely a lipbalm. So, I will also bring some lipstick in my makeup bag. At the moment I love coral colour for lips, so I will bring my Oriflame Pure Colour Lipstick in shade Coral.

  • Garnier Brightening Eye Roll-On
I like to keep Eye Roll-On from Garnier in my makeup bag because we'll never know when we suddenly feel tired and sleepy during class. This thing will keep you awake and for me it's the best little "pick me up" when I feel so sleepy.

  • Tender Care
Well, I'm not sure if it will count as back to school makeup essentials because I will use it at night before. It is the Oriflame Tender Care Cherry. I apply this before bed as an overnight treatment and when I wake up, my lips will feel oh-so-soft and ready for the day.

  • Body Spray/ Perfume
I almost forgot about this one but now I remember that I think it's important to keep your body smell nice all day. If you prefer something that has a soft smell, try to use body spray, but if you like something a little bit stronger, use perfume.

  • Hand Cream
If you're like me and you had a granny-like hand, then you need a hand cream in your makeup bag. Just to make sure that your hand feels soft, especially when you're about to shake your hand with some new friends :-)

So, what's your back to school makeup essentials, girls?
Any other ideas for me? :-)

Review Mustika Ratu "Simply Stay"

Seminggu yang lalu,  Mustika Ratu  mengirimkan paket untukku berupa rangkaian makeup terbaru mereka yang bernama  Simply Stay . Konsep produk simply stay ini adalah  basic makeup  yang praktis, tahan lama, dan berkelas tetapi tersedia dalam harga terjangkau. Konsep yang menarik, terutama untuk kalangan mahasiswi sepertiku, untuk wanita karier dengan kesibukan tinggi yang butuh makeup praktis, juga untuk ibu rumah tangga yang ingin dandanan serba simpel. Sebelumnya, aku hanya menggunakan produk Skin Care dan Body Care Mustika Ratu, belum tertarik mencoba lini makeup mereka. Tetapi, melihat statemen resmi Mustika Ratu bahwa rangkaian Simply Stay bisa  tahan hingga 8 jam , aku langsung tertarik ingin mencoba. Akankan produk-produk ini bertahan di wajahku yang kombinasi cenderung berminyak? Simak terus ya.. Rangkaian produk Simply Stay terdiri dari (1) moisturizer atau pelembab, (2) liquid foundation , (3) stick foundation , (4) two way cake , d...

K-Pop Fashion and Talk - nu'est

KPOP Fashion and Talk Episode #1 NU'EST Kpop Fashion , especially the one that they featured on many Music Video, is a definite unique. It wasn't a typical outfit that someone would wear on a daily basis. It's so eye catching and million fan girls were killed to see their bias actually wear it in real life. NU'EST In this first episode of K-Pop Fashion and Talk, we're going to discuss about NU'EST. A korean boy band that captures our heart with their edgy concept about bullying at the beginning of 2012. NU'EST Minhyun Outfit As you may already know, NU'EST visual is Minhyun. In their first music video FACE, he and the rest of members as well, wearing a simple black blazer as their uniform with abstract pattern t-shirt underneath, because as I mentioned before, the MV's concept is again about bullying in school so they need to wear a uniform. Then, he just paired the blazer with black skinny trousers and of course, a pair of white sh...

Sehari di Gunung Bromo bersama TF-SCALE

Gunung Bromo, 17 September 2014 Guncangan seru ini rasanya sudah berlangsung berjam-jam tanpa henti. Berenam: aku, Nabila, Mas'ul, Ido, Wendy, dan Bapak Sopir Hartop, tertawa dan bercanda sepanjang perjalanan dari penanjakan ke kaki gunung bromo. Ketika akhirnya turun dari Hartop, aku tahu perjalanan akan semakin seru karena kami akan bergabung dengan seluruh teman-teman dari Indonesia dan Singapura. Yup, Singapura! Perjalanan kali ini adalah salah satu kegiatan dalam rangkaian TF-SCALE yaitu pertukaran future leader  (pemimpin masa depan) antara Indonesia-Singapura tahun 2014 lalu. Ini adalah kali pertama aku akan naik gunung dan aku merasa terhormat sekaligus malu. Selama ini aku tinggal cukup dekat dengan gunung bromo, tetapi harus menikmatinya untuk pertama kali bebarengan dengan para turis. Tetapi, hal itu tidak sedikit pun mengurangi keasyikan perjalanan. Matahari Terbit di Penanjakan Seperti yang sudah aku ceritakan sebelumnya, sesaat sebelum naik Hartop k...
