Dior Pink Shock Illuminating Powder

I've been waiting for Dior Holiday 2014 since I saw their advertisement few months ago.. Clearly that I'm always attracted by Dior's products and feeling bad because I was missing last year holiday edition..
(Saya telah menunggu Dior Holiday 2014 sejak saya melihat fotonya beberapa bulan lalu. Sudah jelas bahwa saya selalu tertarik pada produk Dior dan menyesal kelewatan edisi holiday tahun lalu)

From all golden pieces in this collection, I've put their illuminating powder, duo lipstick and nail polish in my wishlist.
(Dari semua koleksi emas ini, saya memilih illuminating powder, duo lipstick dan nail polish nya untuk masuk dalam daftar saya)

At first, I think the golden illuminating powder was on my priority. Sadly, it comes in yellowish colour which I am not too brave to use. So I ended up asking my friend to buy Pink Shock instead. (I also bought one duo lipstick, but no nail polish since I rarely use nail polish anymore. Will do the review of lipstick soon!)
(Pertama-tama, saya berpikir bahwa illuminating powder emas berada pada urutas atas barang yang ingin saya beli. Sayangnya, warnanya kekuning-kuningan dan saya tidak berani untuk pakai. Jadi saya meminta teman saya membelikan yang warna pink saja. Saya juga beli sebiji duo lipstick tapi saya tidak beli nail polish karena sudah jarang pakai. Ulasan lipsticknya menyusul segera ya!)

After receiving and unboxing my package, I saw golden box there containing my pink shock. Slowly opening the box and it was beyond what I expected. I deeply in love with that gold reflective packaging. Honestly I didn't know what the case looks like because I only saw the inside on internet.
(Setelah menerima dan membuka paket, disanalah kotak emas berisi Pink Shock saya. Dengan hati-hati saya membuka kotaknya dan apa yang saya temukan melebihi harapan saya. Saya jatuh hati pada packaging emasnya yang reflektif. Sejujurnya saya tidak tahu bagaimana rupa wadahnya karena yang saya lihat di internet hanya isinya saja)

It is in round shape, smaller in diameter than another usual powder or highlighter. But I think it's deep enough because it is quite thick. It certainly have mass and quite heavy and with that it increasing the feel of luxury.
(Bentuknya bulat, diameternya lebih kecil daripada bedak atau highlighter kebanyakan. Tapi kelihatannya cukup dalam karena cukup tebal. Terasa berbobot dan cukup berat dan dengan demikian semakin terasa mewah)

It comes with velvety pouch and application brush. The brush handle is also gold! When tried the product, I used the original brush and it is well applied. I'm happy with it! Several times I found some products with brush but the quality of the brush is not good enough, such a waste!
(Dilengkapi dengan kantong beludru dan kuas aplikasi. Pegangan kuasnya juga warna emas! Saat mencoba produknya, saya menggunakan kuas aslinya dan pemakaiannya cukup bagus. Saya senang sekali! Beberapa kali saya menemukan produk dengan kuas namun kualitas kuasnya tidak cukup bagus. Sayang..)

Now we move to what's inside. Just like the name, it is pink illuminating powder with emboss that some people describe as rose. I just prayed that I spent my money in the right place considering this piece is expensive (thanks God they let us know months before so we can save for this). I hope that it is not too pinky or too shimmery on my face.
(Sekarang mari kita bahas dalamnya. Seperti namanya, ini adalah pink illuminating powder dengan emboss yang beberapa orang mendeskripsikannya sebagai mawar. Saya hanya berharap bahwa saya tidak salah membeli barang mengingat ini cukup mahal. Thanks God mereka memberitahu kita beberapa bulan sebelum mereka mengeluarkan produk sehingga kita bisa menabung untuk ini. Saya berharap ini tidak akan terlalu pink atau berkilau di wajah saya.)

Then I tried to take the powder with the brush. It is soft and transfered easily to my face. But remember to take it lightly to have just a glance of pink highlight. The colour is definitely pretty and unique. While another highlighter gives you white/golden glow, this one gives you pink! The good pink, not a shocking pink like its name.
(Lalu saya mencoba mengambil sedikit dengan kuasnya. Ini sangat lembut dan dapat dengan mudah menempel ke wajah saya. Tapi harus diingat untuk tidak mengambil terlalu banyak bila ingin mendapatkan sedikit kilauan bersemu pink. Warnanya cantik dan unik. Kalau highlighter lain memberikan efek kilau putih/emas, yang ini memberi kilau pink! Pink yang bagus, bukan pink mencolok seperti namanya)

I use this as highlighter on my cheek and my bridge nose. It stays on my skin in this hot and humid weather for about 6 hours already. I think if you have spare money and need or want or love unique highlighter, this one is recommended for you.
(Saya memakainya sebagai highlighter pada pipi dan tulang hidung. Dia bertahan cukup lama di kulit saya pada cuaca panas dan lembab selama kurang lebih 6 jam sejauh ini. Menurut saya, bila kamu punya uang berlebih dan memerlukan atau menginginkan atau mencintai highlighter yang unik, yang satu ini bagus untukmu)

Overwhelmed by Nature Part 1

This is a latepost but I still want to share with you how I was amazed with what nature provides..

Around 2 weeks ago, we had to cut down our coconut tree due to our house widening process.. After an hour or so, when my husband came back there to check, our workers all sat down and gathered round and ate something greedily..

When he asked what they ate, one of our worker showed the part of coconut branch that can be eaten. So my husband got some and gave it to me.. People here called this "krambil" and usually eat it raw.

Surprisingly I really like the taste. The taste is like young coconut, but the texture is solid and juicy similar with bengkoang. My husband only ate a bit while I was eating a big bunch..!!

I could not eat more than two piece because of the Full-Sensation it gaves me (When you are lost in the middle of tropical jungle/island, remember this can be source of food). So I decided to process the rest, add spices and more veggie.. It is delicious with warm white rice.. Hope you can try it someday.. (Continue to Part 2)
