Suncut Tone Up UV Essence + Clear Turn Babyish Mask A,B,C @kosecosmeportid #TryItWithChelle

 Aye Mates!

How are you? Hope you all are well, safe and healthy. I am so thrilled and honoured to be able to try out Kose Cosmeport New Products, Suncut Tone Up UV Essence Sunscreen and Clear Turn Babyish Mask A, B, C. Many thanks Clozette Indonesia (@ClozetteID) and Kose Cosmeport Indonesia (@KoseCosmePortid) for letting me try this product out. Take a look below for full review.

- Suncut Tone Up UV Essence Sunscreen - 

To be very honest, this is a love at first sight HAHAA! First the packaging is in lilac colour and when I squeeze it out for the first time, OMAGAAAA, IT’S IN LIGHT LILAC COLOR!!! SO PRETTY!! This product claims to protect the skin from UV A and UV B with sPF 50+ & PA++++. It also claims to brighten the skin as if you’re using filter lol. It could also be use as makeup base and has Allerguard formula to prevent from external pollution.

Below I’ll breakdown the ingredients contained:

-Raspberry: nourish and moisturise the skin. Since it’s packed with antioxidants, it could prevent the damaging effects of the sun, prevent redness and slow down aging.

-Lemon: antioxidant, slow down sebum, brightens the skin, may help reduce skin damage and premature aging.

-Hyaluronic Acid: moisturise the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

-Vitamin C Derivative: antixodiant.

After one week usage, I really like it!! What they claimed to brighten the skin tone. It really did!! But it’s not too much nor too white as if you’re wearing mask but the bright is natural and dewy look. The texture is creamy but what I loves the most is that it’s not sticky on the face and doesn’t makes my face looks shining oily lol. Definitely a ‘will repurchase’ for me!! They had at me at lilac lol.

Btw even if you’re currently just staying at home or just staying indoor basically, it is strongly advisable to still use sunscreen. Because we never know the rays of sunlight that comes through the window or elsewhere. I once read that we could get UV A or UV B from the rays of photocopy machine that is not good for your skin.

- Clear Turn Babyish Mask A, B, C -

One package contains 7 sheet masks. This mask could be use daily or for everyday usage. It claims to moisturise the skin, so it could feels like baby skin? Btw this product is sell exclusively at Watsons Store Indonesia, go try it out for yourself now. Below are the variants difference I’ve breakdown:

-A (the pink one): mainly contains hyaluronic acid, lipidure, amino acid, glycerin - that are good for extra moisture. As we know some of the ingredients are great for skin moisture.

-B (the yellow one): mainly contains collagen, honey, amino acid, hyaluronic acid that could intensify the skin elasticity. Collagen are very well known for anti-aging.

-C (the white one): mainly contains vitamin c, hyaluronic acid, glycerin, amino acid that could help brightens the skin.

I’ve tried to use this mask everyday and I lasts for 3 days straight so far lol. I put this mask on my face as advised for 10-15 minutes. The essence did feels very moisturising on the skin, it may feels a little sticky but it really absorbs really well to the skin. Leaving my skin feels so dewy and supple. The mask texture is also feels soft.

Overall it’s a yay and ‘will repurchase’ from my side. Especially the Suncut’s sunscreen doe!! It’s definitely my new found love. For sunscreen, as long you don’t make me looks like I’m wearing mask and not sticky, you’ve special place in my heart lol. Don’t forget that for the Clear Turn Babyish Mask A, B, C, you can get them at your nearest Watsons Store. If you did decide to try this product out let me know below on the comment box or tag and send me DM on Instagram @michellesanjaya.

Disclaimer: Skincare can have different effects on each human and it’s very personal. This product might works or not on me but I can’t guarantee it’ll work the same on yours. So let me know if you did try this product out.

Thank you and have a great day and stay safe and healthy mates!

Life Goes On

Hello? How are you all? Hope all is well.

It’s been such a while isn’t it? (always started with that, I’m sorry) I’ve been so caught up with my full-time job and part-time job. Seems like I’m complaining but yet I’m also grateful I have something to get my times passed. The reason I wanted to write this down is because I’ve been going through lots of thoughts on my mind and I’m tired going into denial stages.

Started off with my work, I'm a relationship manager at a bank and it is very related to target’s achievement. I’ve been hypnotising myself that all is well and I could achieve the targets but I just feel that I’ve been lacking so much and I don’t know when can it ever be enough. I really am trying my best. My side-job that I love doing but I can’t give my best due to some circumstances. Last but not least, my life that I thought has been well but I don’t know whether all is well or it’s just me trying to remains positive. I have faith that everything will be well, God is there and He’ll get me through this. But sometimes the world’s voices are too much and just whispered too harshly trying to shake the faith.

One word to describe my current condition: numb. I’m at the phase where I’m numb. I don’t know whether I’m happy, sad or anxious. I used to be very anxious when I haven’t get my work done but now I’m just “okay”. Typing this I have no emotion even though my physical situation tells I’m anxious (tremor hands & painful body aches here and there & heart beating super fast & typo everywhere (well you can’t tell now as I fix it on my last checking)). I’m trying to figure what is happening in my life. As hard to admit but I’m not going to deny it that I’m not okay.

When BTS released the Life Goes On song, I didn’t know the meaning yet but as I watched the video, I shed tears. After searching for the meaning, this part hits so bad “There’s no end in sight, is there a way out? My feet refuses to move” I feel like no words could describe my current situation better than this. I refused to move forward cause I’m too afraid on what’s next and whether I’m ready to bear all the uncertainty. I'm even afraid of facing tomorrow. I’ve been planting my heart with the words from my pastor “Be Alert -> Be Prepare -> Anticipate -> Ready for What’s Next -> It’s Gonna Be Okay, It Is Well With My Soul” I’ve been shaken. 

Right now, I’ve prayed and really surrendered my life to God. Trusting Him in all steps of my life, let Him process and turning me into a person He wish I become. It’s okay. Do not worry cause cause God is my strength and His power will sustain me. Also as what BTS said “like an echo in the forest, the day will come back around, as if nothing happened, yeah life goes on”.

I hope whoever reading this are all well and if you are not okay, just a kind reminder that this too shall pass. Sounds super cliche but it’s the only motivation that could helps us get through. Find something that could make you happy or even pause and take a breath and rest for a while. You’ve did so well. Give yourself a pat on the shoulders. As I’m typing this also serves as a reminder to myself to get through. It may seems hard but always be grateful in all situations.

*Ps. I may or may not be aware or on my straight mind when I’m typing this. So if it’s confusing to comprehend the above narrations, let me know. I just keep on typing what’s on my mind or what just popped in my head.

As Beautiful As Posy Beauty

Aye Mates!

How are you? Hope all is well. Hari ini aku mau mereview salah satu brand local Indonesia yaitu Posy Beauty!! Aku dapat products dari Posy Beauty (@posybeautyid) ini juga sebagai project bareng Clozette Indonesia (@clozetteid). So terus baca ke bawah untuk more infos tentang Posy Beauty dan review aku setelah pemakaian produknya pada diri aku sendiri.

Pertama aku mau sedikit info tentang Posy Beauty itself. Posy Beauty didirikan oleh 2 perempuan Indonesia, Diandra dan Amanda pada tahun 2017 di website mereka. No worries karena Posy Beauty lip matte aman, they’re halal, vegan, cruelty free, dan lipstick mereka sendiri mengandung Vitamin E sehingga tidak membuat bibir kering, menutrisi bibir, meregenerasi sel kulit bibir dan sangat pigmented (I tested it out myself!! Aku sendiri udah coba kok!!).

// Gluttony //

Aku excited banget jujur untuk mencoba Posy Beauty ini karena aku sendiri jarang banget menemukan vegan lipstick matte local, lipstick halal dan tahan lama. Dari membaca brief infos tentang Posy Beauty aja udah excites me karena to be very honest aku tuh kalau bisa membeli products locally, aku lebih setuju! Karena pertama I’m very proud bisa membeli matte lipstick Indonesia, as an Indonesian I’m so proud of my fellow Indonesian friends especially girls support girls, so happy for Diandra and Amanda. Kedua, dengan banyaknya beauty brands keluaran Indonesia, it proofs kalo Indonesia juga tidak kalah innovative dengan negara luar sana. Ketiga, dengan adanya local brands it could contributes to perekonomian Indonesia. Jadi yuk terus lanjut baca untuk review aku setelah pemakaian.

// Lust //

Aku waktu dapet liquid lipstick Posy Beauty jujur aku skeptical. Aku takut kalo liquid lipstick itu bakal sangat mengeringkan bibir aku dan susah untuk diaplikasikan ke bibir. Waktu aku ngeliat warnanya jujur cantik banget donggg! Aku dapet 3 warna. Pertama “Pride” lebih ke maroon brick red gtu, kedua “gluttony” lebih ke baby pink and ketiga “lust” lebih ke magenta pink keunguan. Gluttony sendiri merupakan warna dari Posy Beauty yang diluncurkan pada 14 February 2019 di hari Valentine sesuai dengan suasana dan temanya. 

// Pride //

Dari 3 warna yang paling aku suka Pride karena menurutku red brick itu warna yang safe dan masuk ke semuanya. Aku jujur warna pink bukan warna aku banget Karena pink colors make my skin paler atau pucat. Tapi surprisingly waktu aku pake Gluttony suka banget! Aku berasa susah banget menemukan shade of pink yang cocok di aku dan aku berasa ini cocok banget banget. Lipstick ini mungkin pas awal pakai aku berasa agak menggumpal dan susah diaplikasikan tapi setelah beberapa kali pakai enak banget dipake dan brush lipsticknya soft. Finishing dari lipstick ini juga soft-matte dan yang terpenting itu tidak bikin kering sama sekali terus selama lipsticknya stays di bibir itu bibirku berasa enteng kayak tidak pakai lipstick gitu~ Karena lipstick ini mengandung Vitamin E obviously bisa merawat juga menutrisi bibir dan membantu meregenerasi sel kulit bibir, dapat mengembalikan warna bibir menjadi natural seperti semula dan dapat mengurangi garis-garis halus di bibir. Menurutku Posy Beauty merupakan salah satu lipstick matte brand local terbaik. Aku definitely bakal nyobain yang nude colorsnya soon sih, apalagi yang Wrath warnanya cantik banget can imagine it on my lips.

Lipstick Posy Beauty ini juga quite affordable dengan harga IDR 149,900 dan dapat dibeli melalui website Posy Beauty (www.posybeauty.co.id) atau official online store seperti Sociolla, Shopee, Blibli.com, Tokopedia, Line Shopping, dan Lazada, komplit banget kan? Tapi jika kalian mau liat dulu warnanya in real life baru nentuin mau beli yang mana juga bisa banget langsung ke Lakon Store (Kelapa Gading), Lunadorii Store (Pacific Place, MOI, Mall Ciputra) untuk yang di Jakarta yah. Di Bandung, Semarang, Medan, Pontianak, dan lainnya juga ada kok bisa langsung check website dan Instagram Posy Beauty langsung yah.

To sum up my experience:

(+) Me Likey

-       Sleek packaging, stunning kelihatan expensive

-       Sizing lipsticknya juga okay cukup buat di tas kecil

-       Ga bikin bibir kering, meskipun dipakai seharian

-       Tahan meskipun di wipe out pake tissue

(-) Need Improvement

-       Lipsticknya sedikit menggumpal di wand pas awal dibuka

Leaps of Worries

Aye Mates!

To kick-off 2020, wishing you all HAPPY (belated) NEW YEAR 2020 and may this year be fill with blessings, joys, prosperity and health all year around #AMEN. I can't believe that 2020 is already here and 2019 passed just like that in a blink of an eyes. To be very frank and honest with y'all, I am so not ready for 2020. To start I'm not ready to part ways with my friends (while typing this I did part ways with them already), did my grand-dialogue (something like thesis defence in my company as I'm MT), socialising as I'm going to be relationship manager which requires me to meet new people as potential client and collaborate with other people from different department, and my list of worries goes on and on and on.

Well worries are something that will stick very close to us even though we've tried to shake it off multiple times, it seems like we succeed but little did we know it's always there ready to haunts us like a hungry wolf. People always told me to not keep everything to ourselves it's better to share it with someone else but I'm just afraid I guess. Afraid to be judge, afraid to be left, afraid to let anyone know. Recently I did shared my worries with a friend of mine and at first I never have the intention to share everything but everything just flows out from my lips that I wish I could shut myself up. Well that person just shook and asked me "why?" when I don't even knows the answer myself. That person did encouraged me and saying everything will be fine that I don't have to worry, instead when I do have to worry it's okay for me to share it, it's better than keeping everything to myself. I'm thankful but at the same time I still worried for everything. Which I don't understand why, but please do let me know how do you overcome your worries below and if you would like to share you stories with me also feel free I'm here to listen :)
