100 Empties Project (Finale)
I'm sorry for being MIA. Actually I have finished this challenge more than a month ago but as usual I didn't have time to update. Worst blogger ever 😵
91. Dove Damage Solution Shampoo
I tried to find cheaper alternative to my daily shampoo since my hair is now doing good. I found Dove is okay but I still need to use conditioner and hair mask after that.
92. Pantene Fullness & Life Shampoo
Another cheaper shampoo. Too dry for my damaged hair. Lucky I bought the travel size.
93. Clinique Clarifying Lotion
Last bottle on stock! And I have finished countless bottle of this. Will surely repurchase after finishing my SK-II and Anna Sui
94. TBS Early Harvest Raspberry Shower Gel
Very sweet smell just like candy. Enjoying my shower time.
95. BBW Sweet Pea Travel Shower
Favorite scent of BBW and this is the last BBW shower gel on stock.
96. Bioderma Sebium Gel Moussant
High raved Bioderma Product but not showing any miracle to me. It is just okay. Sometimes feeling not clean using this because of the gelly texture and the little amount of foam it produces
97. BBW Sweet Pea Triple Silk Shimmer Lotion
Bought this a week before my wedding day and has to be gone.
98. Clinique Even Better Dark Spot Corrector
A little goes a long way. Working fine on me.
99. Stila All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner
The best waterproof liquid eyeliner I have ever tried
100. NYX Slide On Black Sparkle
Finally finished! Part of my project pan and it is an old stuff and need to be gone
Bonus:
101. (Another) L'oreal Lip and Eye Waterproof Make Up Remover
Loving this product and definitely will repurchase. It is really affordable.
I have lots of sample done this time but I want to close this project with more full size products to make it better. I only include Sweet Pea because it is my favorite and Clinique Dark Spot because it only finished in months.
Will update about my project pan soon! See ya! Thank you for reading..

100 Empties Project (Update 7)
Helloooww, long time no update. Sorry I've been busy these past weeks. Actually I did swatch and took few pictures of some products I want to review but still got no time to write.. Sigh.. I'll try my best to catch up.
Then here is no 81-90 of my empties. It's almost there, 10items left and I'm sure will finish before end of June.
81. Mane n Tail Deep Moisturizing Shampoo
- Eventhough the name is Deep Moisturizing, it left my hair dry. I prefer original to this. And don't forget to use conditioner or hair mask after that.
82. L'oreal Lip and Eye Make Up Remover
- Affordable and good result. Will repurchase after finishing my backups.
83. Skinfood Grapeseed Oil Body Emulsion
- It is not for me. Most of the time I feel stingy sensation and sometimes my skin got itchy. So I used it on my legs. I don't know what's wrong with my skin. I can use it on my legs but not on my hands. And I am annoyed by the texture. It is too runny.
84. BBW Wild Berry Tulips Travel Shower
- Just another BBW Shower. This is the last 2 bottles I have. The last bottle is Sweet Pea.
85. BBW Mini Candle Fresh Bamboo
- You can see it is not entirely gone. Still got some candle inside, but I just couldn't lit it anymore. The flame was gone in 3 seconds. Consider it done!
86. Oriflame Pure Nature Soothing Face Cream
- I don't use Oriflame product for so long now since their skincare not working for my 20s skin (it used to worked really well when I was 16-19 years old). So I was using the leftover as overnight hand cream. It moisturizes quite well. Don't throw away any face products that is not suitable for your skin, look for another way to make it works!
87. Glamglow Supermud Mask
- I love it and will repurchase. Okay, I mean after 5 more masks to go.. LOL..
88. NYX Born to Glow Liquid Illuminator Gleam
- Part of my Project Pan items. Will not repurchase.
89. Clinique Liquid Facial Soap
- Countless bottle on this
90. Clinique Liquid Facial Soap Sample
- and also countless sample of this too

Biore Anti Pollution Glowing Bright UV Body Lotion
Halo sahabat, bagaimana kabar kamu hari ini? Udah mau akhir pekan pastinya happy dong? Untuk bacaan akhir pekan, saya membuat review tentang Biore Body Lotion yang baru aja launching belum lama ini. Karena ini tentang produk yang mudah ditemui di pasar kita, maka saya akan membahasnya dalam Bahasa Indonesia ya..
Bercerita sedikit tentang kebiasaan saya memakai body lotion, saya cukup membenci body lotion bertabir surya. Sudah jelas kan alasannya, LENGKET! Euhh! Jadi itulah kenapa saya lebih suka body lotion impor seperti Victoria's Secret, Bath and Body Works dan Sephora untuk sehari-hari.
Bukan berarti saya gak peduli sama sinar matahari yang bikin gosong kulit kita dan bikin kita rawan kena kanker kulit itu, tapi beruntungnya saya memang lebih banyak berada di dalam ruangan daripada harus panas-panasan di luar (banyak alasan ya. Haha). Kalo pas lagi kegiatan luar rumah, terutama berenang, body lotion yang ada SPF nya sudah pasti adalah suatu keharusan.
Saya pun jarang banget nonton TV siaran lokal kecuali nonton berita ya.. Saya lebih banyak nonton acara di TV kabel (banyakan tentang makanan sih kaya Food Network, TLC, Asian Food Channel). Jelas saya gak pernah tau iklan produk lokal dan gak tau kalo Biore punya lotion baru. Hahahah.. Paraahhh..
Nah ceritanya pas kemaren saya belanja bulanan untuk keperluan rumah tangga di Hypermart, saya iseng-iseng lah liatin macam-macam produk sabun mandi, pembersih make up, pasta gigi dll. Ga ada niat beli deh, suweeerrr!! Saya memang lagi beauty spending ban, jadi gak boleh beli kosmetik ataupun barang kecantikan yang sebenarnya di rumah masih ada.
Sambil tungguin suami yang belom datang jemput, saya liatin lah tuh barang sekian banyak satu per satu. Hahaha.. Si biore ini sama swalayannya ditaruh rak bawah sendiri dan jumlahnya gak banyak. Tapi entah kenapa malah saya liatnya kesitu. Ada warna pink sama biru.
Saya gugling nih barusan tadi, sebenarnya malah ada 3 varian : Extra Rich Nourish (Ungu), Glowing Bright UV (Pink), sama Smoothie Moisture (Biru) dan baru launching Maret 2015 lalu.
Bahas sedikit ya tentang perbedaan nya 3 varian ini. Ketiganya sih sama-sama mengusung tema anti pollution. Jadi mereka membantu melindungi kita dari polusi sehari2 bahkan mencegah debu nempel dan lagi gak lengket di kulit.
*** Yang ungu sih mengandung evening primrose oil yang fungsinya buat meregenerasi kulit dan menjaga kekenyalan. Cocok nih buat kulit lelah, yang udah ada umur dan kusam.
*** Yang biru pakai rice milk dan yoghurt extract. Lebih cocok untuk kulit yang kering karena dia fungsinya melembabkan. Cocok juga untuk orang yang bekerjanya di dalam ruang dan sering kena AC.
*** Yang pink ada UV Filter, Vitamin C dan E. Bikin kulit keliatan lebih cerah alias kinclong!!
Kebiasaan dari dulu kalo body lotion kan mau cium dulu baunya. Biar baunya agak keluar kan agak dipencet sedikit aja ya, alamak KETERUSAN!!! Keluar sedikit tuh lotionnya (masih untung gak kena hidung kaya biasanya. Hahaha)
Mumpung ga ada mbaknya, si lotion yg keluar dari botol tadi cepetan saya lap trus saya ratain ke lengan daaaaaaannnnn jatuh cinta. Iya lupa deh lagi spending ban. Akhirnya masuklah ke keranjang si botol pinknya. Hahaha...
Jadi kenapa nih jatuh cinta (setelah dicoba seharian ini hasilnya):
1. Gak lengket sama sekali dan otomatis kotoran gak cepat nempel
2. Cepat meresap (ga pake acara tungguin lengket tambah gerah)
3. Baunya lembut jd gak tabrakan sama parfum
4. Gak licin pas cuci tangan
5. Ada UV filternya. Walaupun gak tau secara jangka panjang dampaknya gimana, tapi jelas lah pasti lebih baik daripada yang gak pake UV
6. Ga perlu tunggu 1 minggu 1 bulan 1 tahun dapetin kulit lebih cerah. Hasilnya langsung keliatan loh. Dibawah ada foto before-afternya
7. Harganya terjangkau. Untuk ukuran 200ml sekitar 28ribuan rupiah, tp kemaren ada diskon jadi tinggal 21ribuan rupiah.
8. Teksturnya pas. Ga terlalu kental jadi mudah rata, juga gak terlalu cair jadi gak takut belepotan.
Minusnya buat saya adalah:
1. Ga tau itu SPF berapa. Kalo perkiraan sih SPF nya ga terlalu tinggi jadi ga cocok kalo buat outdoor sport. Mungkin ga masalah kalo rajin ulang pakainya. Tapi dasar saya pemalas jadi malas suruh ulang-ulang. Kalau buat sehari-hari sih ga masalah SPF rendah karena kerja dalam ruangan.
2. Kurang lembab. Untuk yang kulitnya kering atau super kering mungkin ambilnya yg warna biru kali ya. Untuk malam hari saya masih pilih untuk pakai body butter.
Semoga review di atas membantu ya.. Thanks udah mau membaca..

Les Neiges de Diorsnow : 001 Rainbow
"In a stroke of the brush, its four correcting shades blend and balance out the tone of complexion, bringing it radiance as pure and translucent as a snowflake." ~ dior.com
I know maybe it is a bit too late to review on this Limited Edition - Asia Exclusive Les Neiges de Diorsnow. It was launched for Spring Collection 2015 and sadly is not available outside Asia. The main purpose is to correct your skin tone to create luminous and satin finish.
THE PACKAGING
That white box is just like usual packaging from Dior. At the back you get the slight description about the product. "Bringing it radiance that is as pure and translucent as a snowflake", such a promising quote, isn't it?
The case is matte white color with silver lining on its edge. It will not capture your fingerprint like metal or glossy plastic packaging unless you have a super dirty hands touching it.
APPLICATOR
The candy-pink brush is included in the package. It is kind of fan brush in beveled shape. I love how the pink stands out combined with the luxury of the product itself. It is quite soft and pick just a little of the powder. I think it supposed to be so.
PRODUCT
The 4 correcting hues in the powder:
- MAUVE for anti-darkness
- GREEN for anti-redness
- ROSE for anti-dullness
- WHITE for radiance.
The powder is quite hard to pick, but I think it is a good idea to prevent over picking that we usually do with meteorites or loose powder. I swiped it three times to make it shown in the picture (see the heavy swatch side). So don't think it is too pigmented for all over powder face. It is definitely not like a highlighter.
On the picture below is swatch on my bare face. Left side is my bare skin, right side is after using Les Neiges de Diorsnow. You could see the immediate result on my skin. It is amazing! It reduce the appearance of my pores, my redness and also makes my skin looks smooth. It also gives radiance and brighten my skin. If you think this is the effect of lighting, just see the upper part which show my eyelid, it is the same skintone (yeah, I did not apply the powder to my eyelids. LOL!)
As most of us won't go out just bare face + correcting powder, I made one more swatch on top of foundation. I pick my favorite Diorskin Star Foundation #022. In the picture below, I used foundation + Les Neiges de Diorsnow + Eyeshadow + Eyebrow Powder + Lipbalm. (see what products used in the last part of this post.
