Beautytreats INA, my first beautybox in my life! : D

Hi everyone, my firends, my girls, my ladies, my woman,

MY LOVELY READERS ! ^o^

 

Today i want to share that

 I’M WAITING FOR MY FIRST BEAUTYBOX from Beautytreats Indonesia! Yay!\(´▽`)/

I already tell you about what is beautybox actually, 

but in case this is your first time visit my blog ( means you don't read that) i will write it again here ^__^

What is a beauty box? 

 Beauty Box is a box that have many beauty products inside , 5-8 products ( can be sample or full size)
It's not usual beauty products, since a professional will select the top hits beauty products especially for you.
They select them based on your skin type, hair type, etc.
So they personally fill the box with high quality beauty products, that will match with your character.
That's why at the first time you will be asked to input data that will inform them your face skin, your hair type, your eye colour, something like that
I also fill that information when first registered to beautytreats ina : D

With monthly register (yes, it's monthly, one box / month, you can select register for 1 month, 3, 6, 9, or12 months)
to company that provide beautybox, you will no need anymore to search everywhere, waste your time to look for beauty products that will match your character,
since the profesional will do that job or you !
Use your time to spoil your self with the beauty products they send to you
how great is that? \(´▽`)/

And moreover, products's value that include in a beautybox
supposed to be more expensive than what you pay
so if you pay 95000 rupiah
( i use the cost for registering at beautytreats INA as reference, since i’m already register there. Realize how cheap is that? Hihi : p )
, than you will get beauty products that value more than 95 000 rupiah
So 3 WORDS to describe it are
GREAT, CONVENIENCE, and WORTHED
Don't you think you will love it? v ^__^ v

I personally choose to subscribe for BeautyTreats Ina, first beautybox available in Indonesia 

and recommend it for you!

You must be asking me right now, why do i recommend this?
First, my reason to register beautybox is what i already describe above.
All what you need in a box that send to you door, how crazy is that?
Next, guess who is beautytreats ina’s founder? It’s the artist Rebecca Rejiman ladies!
As you already know how stylist and dazzling she is among the famous people we know
Her taste in fashion and makeup is no doubt so good that you just want to be like her

Check out some of my fav photos of her : D
 

  You can see only from that 4 pictures, 

that Rebecca Rejiman is amazing as a woman( #envy hahaha)

In other word, i trust her full to provide me the beautybox

 as i already know her taste and expert skill in fashion and makeup subject
I believe she and beautytreats INA will use my profile information in the best way to give me great and dazzling beauty box !
Master always know how to share the best only ! : D

As another information to help you get my intention,
this is what they write in their website about their special beautybox

REVIEW : E.L.F Luscious Liquid Lipstick #Pink Lemonade & E.L.F Shimmer Eyeliner Pencil #Black Bandit

Hi ! welcome to my blog

"The Beauty& Pocket"

My blog's name idea come based on my personality.
I will only buy and recommend products that is worthed to buy ( from result, function, and price).
I will always give my honest review n ratings in every post. 

So you can trust me : D
My deepest hope is that every post that i made can be helpfull for readers even if it just a little bit
To help you make sure you don't waste your money for any product that is BIG NO^^ 

So, today i'm gonna make review about two beautiful products from e.l.f

I got this from http://cheryl-raissa.blogspot.com/
feat with   Twenty Seven Shop (http://www.facebook.com/twentyseven.makeup )
 last giveaway
( additional info : Twenty Seven Shop sells many famous beauty products that hardly find in Indonesia like Coastal Scent, e.l.f., Sephora, Ulta , etc.
Hope now you know where to buy them : D)

*thanks cheryl and twenty seven shop for holding this giveaway ! : D

 Actually it suppose to be arrive at home some days ago, 

but unfortunately the person from TIKI who send the package don't meet any person

so he just leave note, to take the package by my self at TIKI office

I don't like this kind of TIKI system to be honest, so prefer send package by JNE

since JNE at least text or call the person who will receive the package, not only leave a note like that.

TIKI sometime ago leave me note also and it got wet by rain and almost cannot be read  -__-"

So, back to the main topic *forgive me for out of topic hehe >.<

 first, take a look at the RESULT , jjan!

i use ETUDE Precious Mineral Bright Fit bbcream SPF30 PA++ #W13, ETUDE Proof 10 Mascara, Base Eyeshadow, ELF Luscious Liquid Lipstick #Pink Lemonade & ELF Shimmer Eyeliner Pencil #Bandit

 
It's so simple makeup i made that day,
no fake eyelashes, and no eyeshadow
so the main two products i want to share today can stand out hopefully ^__^
to create that look, i just apply bbcream, tight lining my top and bottom lash line with the shimmer pencil, add mascara,
and finish the look with liquid lipstick
just 5 minutes and we're finished ! \(´▽`)/ 


Okay now let's get along with these two little princess more darling ; D

ELF Luscious Liquid Lipstick  & ELF Shimmer Pencil

As you can see at the picture above, the packaging are very simple,
both come inside carton box and cover with hard plastic

The ELF Shimmer Pencil # Black Bandit

 It's so cheap worthed product just $1 dear! 
but, don't underestimate it first 
check my review below before make your judgement  : D

 

Mine come in Black Bandit colour

it's a black shimmer pencil

similar to NYX Black Bean colour

 you can see the shimmer that comes out from the swatch

the colour that appear with flash, is more similar to the real colour that will look in your eyes

The cap include sharpener that really useful

i tried to sharpen the pencil with it, and since the angle is good,

the result really sharp, and just perfect to line my eyes !

you don't need to search for any other sharpener darling

i tried use other, and the result cannot be as good as what attached on the cap

so, just use it if you buy it later

What e. l. f say about  this cute bandit princess

I do agree with that two points

check by yourself how stunning my eyes looks like with this pencil 

note : i just use the shimmer pencil plus mascara

that's all , and i love the korean look from the result

Unfortunately, although i use base first,

it do still crease a little bit

i photo this after about  3 hours since applied

so, in the next use, i prefer use my ETUDE Drawing Show Eyeliner first and use this e.l.f on top of it 

to give shimmer finish : D

What i like :

* very nice colour, shimmering, and make my eyes looks stunning

* the sharpener on the cap >> SO GREAT!!

* size is convenience for travelling

* easy to use, and smooth result

* cheap

What i don't like :
* easy to crease and not long lasting
( if you plan to use it alone as eyeliner, don't forget to bring it in your make up pouch,
 since you will need to touch up )


Ratings time:
* colour : 10/10
* smudgeproof and long lasting : 5/10
*coverage : 7/10
* Is it recommended to buy?
*Yes!
Compare to the point that i don't like from this pencil, it's still nice product to place inside your beauty pouch.
My tip is not use it alone, but just as finishing to give shimmering black style on your eyeliner ;)




Now, let's move to the second princess, shall we ?

ELF Luscious Liquid Lipstick #Pink Lemonade

the price is also only $1
(Oh My God, it's so cheap for a popular brand don't you think?? i'm gonna crazy cause of this XD)

As you can see at the picture above, mine is Pink Lemonade

It looks red, but  in fact it's a very soft pink colour

it will come out from the brush like this

At first time, you need to twist about 5-8 times to make it out

but after that, you just need to twist 2-4 times.
don't twist too many times,
if it's still not out from the tube after twist 2-3 times, just wait a little bit
since it takes some time for the liquid lipstick to flow to the brush
i once twist to many time and it came too many at the brush 

What e. l. f say about  this pinky princess

 Am i agree with that?
Yes, it's great liquid lipstick darling , you will love it too after finished reading my review ^__^

First take a look at the swatch on my hand ,
a very soft pink colour

Swatch at my lips
( applied 3-4 layers)

with this liquid lipstick (or must i say ligloss?)
our lips will  look pinkish naturally like that
my lips originally has pink colour so it looks not really big difference for me
i love the result personally,
because it really make me look like don't use anything,
 but in fact the natural pinkish look actually come out from this cute princess : p


It's moisturize enough, that i don't need additional lipbalm before use it
Plus point of this liquid lipstick is it also doesn't sticky!
it's type that will absorb quickly to our lips and make us feel doesn't use anything at all


The main point that really really make me love this is
it has a refreshing chocolate mint aroma ! yay, yummy smell world again!
and moreover it gives cool sensation
since i'm an aroma lover, i love this little detail so much : D
but for you that don't like any smell
once again, like other lipgloss/ lipblam that has smell, it also dissapear quick enough
so no need to worry about it
(although i will love it if it last forever until  i erase it
any products recommend that has strong long lasting aroma ? >.<)

What i like :
* moisturizing my lips well
* size that is so suitable even for travelling
* aplicator that is convenience, just rotate to make some out
* choco mint and cooling sensation !
* cap on top of it to make sure it's hygienity
(the cap is good, not easy one to come off by itself)


what i don't like:
* light coverage, need to apply many layers



So, ratings time
* colour :  10 /10
* coverage : 5/10

* moisturize :  8/10 ( no need for additional lipbalm)

* smell : 10/10 (smell maniac, plus point for the cooling sensation!)

* is it recommended to buy?

Yes! I love this so much

: D

Oh my God,
i never know about this brand if it's not from cheryl blog *thx again dear muach #HUG
honestly usually i always think that beauty products that is too cheap will be just a waste
since we cannot guarantee what we will get like the ingredients, the function etc
and moreover if you see it online where you don't know how is the real product


that's why usually i use ETUDE, Holika, Maybeline, Martha Tilaar (Indonesian local brand),etc
since they are already famous, guarantee high quality beauty products
but still affordable for my student's pocket


but for e.l.f one,
i definitely falling in love with this brand readers, i will try another products from this brand
this is so cheap but has some quality,
i interest to try another colour of shimmer pencil ( there are some various colour that stunning like plum, tosca, etc)
and other colour of lipgloss
(maybe from this series maybe from other series since e.l.f provide some range of lipgloss series )

So, from this today review myself also learn not to judge a beauty products only from the price
will not just put them aside,
 but will try it first before make judgement
( but, of course will just try one that already has some name
since i will not danger my skin with an unknown brand )
forgive my self (˘ʃƪ˘)
hehe


So, that's all from today review
i will come back as soon as possible for another hot items
 honestly i already has several products for you to see
all that's my favourite ( from ETUDE, The Faceshop, Revlon, etc)
and also culinary review ( Sour Sally - it's my favourite yogurt brand)
plus my current Thailand trip yay! \(´▽`)/

i'm editing them right now,
so be patient for the coming soon review dear

GlamGirl, Glam up your day ! :D

 Hi my beloved readers!

Welcome to The Beauty & Pocket

If this is your first time visit my blog, know more about me and my blog here : D

Today, i'm gonna share my review about 3 little princess from GlamGirl.

GlamGirl is an International brand that specialize in beauty and fashion products, 

which based in Hongkong.

 It's very popular and great brand,  that even famous people falling in love with them

  

 Former Miss Hongkong, Pauline Yam

Celeb Toby Leung 梁靖琪

(wearing GlamGirl Pink Bunny Ears Ring)

 and many more 

(find out at their website www.Glam-Girl.com )

Their mission is to put the am in Glam

which i think it's so cool since that means they promise to make woman glam and shining with their high quality products

Moreover, their passion  is to help girls look good, feel good, do good  

so exciting, don't you think? : D

I can say i do believe their mission and  passion 

since their products really fulfil what they promise to us

Let's take a look together at the three little princess they send to me, and you will understand why i falling in love with this brand  ^__^

The story begin with this package arrived at my home this afternoon,,jjan!

The first item inside the package is

The GlamGirl Tote Bag Slim Shopper !

 

 What GlamGirl say about this lovely tote bag :

This slim-cut Tote Bag with double-sided GlamGirl signature logo is just large enough to carry some of your essentials to complement what you are carrying in your purse.  It fits thin laptops, magazines, shoes, sandals, an umbrella, basically anything you can't fit in your other bag.  Or, if you are traveling light and only want to carry this tote, this makes a cute day bag, shopping bag.

I agree with their statement since it's a big bag and there is no pocket, 

so you can just put everything inside

I size it with ruller and the dimension come up

l x w x h : 35 x 31 x 9 cm

It made from fabric similar like canvas bag, 

but since they don't describe the material that used, i don't know it's pure cotton or mixed or what

i love this because 3 things :

- fabric made means it's environment friendly 

( i'm not include in any go green campaign, but just do some little things that we know can save environment is not bad right? ^__^ )

- the size that guarantee can accommodate many things

-  it strong enough to carry many things inside

( I don't know how to describe it, but since i usually bring many heavy things with my own tote bag, 

i know this will be a good one that strong and long lasting based on my experience )

what i don't like :

- the colour is white so it will be easy become dirty

so, my personal feedback for this tote is to produce dark colour since it will be more convenience :)

Ratings time ! : D

*Overall : 8/10

*Design : 8/10

*Strength : 9/10

* Is it recommended ? : 

Absolutely! if you are people that love simple bag, that is strong and can accommodate so many of your things, go grab one right now ^^

Where to buy ?

http://www.glam-girl.com/glamgirl-tote-bag-slim-shopper 

Price: HKD68.00

The second princess inside the package is

The GlamGirl Glam Balm !

What GlamGirl say about this :   

This multipurpose balm is made from pure cocoa butter, coconut butter, and coconut oil and is perfect for chapped lips, hands, anywhere you are dry on your face or body. The blend of organic emollients keeps fine lines and dryness at bay. Apply where desired and enjoy the cocoa scent. This small tin is portable and can easily slip into a purse or clutch

The Glam Balm, as you can see at the picture description , is an organic multi purpose bauty balm

we can apply that at where ever place we want,

 from head to toe that we think need to get moisturize.

I'm super excited with the package that arrive at my house this afternoon, so i immediately test it for you beauty readers, so i can share my review as soon as possible : D

 i applied this balm at my lips this morning, and it's do moisturizing mine although i just take little amount

it absorb well and i just need to re apply it about 1 time since morning until this late evening!

it's not big difference compare to my L'OCCITANE shea butter balm for the moisturizing aspect although it cost much cheaper

The texture is soft, very easy to take some, and not sticky.

 moreover it smell chocolate ladies yay! welcome to delicious smell world \(´▽`)/ 

just like we eat chocolate when we use this balm

since i'm a smell maniac, you must be know how i like this balm so much >__<

maybe it can help me with my diet

since it feel like i'm eating chocolate while use this 

no need for more real chocolate XD

The packaging contain 2 parts, base and the cap

to open it, you need to twist the cap, like opening bottle.

i love this system personally since it more safe to prevent the cap unintentionally re-open by it self

 The colour appears white inside the packaging, 

but actually it's colorless, transparant balm when applied at our body

I love all about this, but maybe if it's in form of stick like lipstick, that will be better 

since that can make sure it will stay hygienic, and clean

my tips for this balm ( and also for any other canning cosmetic like this)

is to prepare special brush for that, not to directly take it with our finger.

but if you don't like that kind of inconvenience, just make sure you always wash your hands 

( and nails area too) before take some from the can  :)

Ratings :

* overall : 9/10

*moisturize : 10/10

*colour : i will not rating it, since the purpose is not only for lips, but also for body part

*packaging : 8/10 (prefer stick form, but plus point for the twist-system to open)

* is it recommended ?

VERY! It's best, all you need for balm is provide by this product. 

Just make sure you are okay with smell, since some people don't like beauty products that has smell : )

Where to buy?

http://www.glam-girl.com/glamgirl-tote-bag-slim-shopper/glamgirl-multi-purpose-beauty-balm-cocoa-butter

Price: HKD150.00

The third princess is

The Funny Buny Solid Perfume !

What GlamGirl say about this :

 GlamGirl signature scent Funny Bunny is your new purse must-have as this lightly-fragranced all-natural solid perfume won't spill. Dab on your wrists, behind your ears, pulse points, and you're good to go. The scent is clean, refreshing, and makes you smell like a cute cartoon bunny. (Well, maybe not that last part.)

I do agree with the lovely fragrance this solid perfume has, it so strong and fresh like lemon and other citurs fruit. 

You know kind of scent that you will meet when you go to spa?

you will meet similar scent with this solid perfume, so it's type that refreshing and relaxing.

i do recommend this for smell lover like me, especially for citrus scent lover or for people that love refreshing aromaterapic that can calm mind and body

Unfortunately about it's main goal to not spill, i don't know what's wrong

but since i first receive the package, it's already come in thick liquid form, and spill much enough to the outer packaging . You can see from the photo above ><

That's why i cannot photo it well, because the outer packaging wet by the perfume.

I tried to put in in the refrigerator, it does become solid, 

but after about 3 hours, it once again become thick liquid T_T

 i don't know what's wrong since  there is no problem with the balm

maybe because Indonesia is too hot?

but i do hope the formula will be upgrade to become more solid and heat resistance like the balm one.

User from other countries will not have problem with this i believe, but  it can become problem for user from tropical countries like me

with more heat resistance formula, fans from tropical countries can enjoy this lovely perfume too ^__^

The packaging is same system with the balm, twist model

meanwhile the colour is colourless when applied, not sticky 

but a little bit leave oily feeling.

Ratings time !

* Overall : 7/10 

( it's great, but the heat resistance problem i think is crucial since it's a solid perfume )

*  Scent : 10/10 ( so lovely!)

*packaging : 9/10 

( i don't mind this come in can packaging, since we apply this in body only)

* color : 10/10 

( since it special for body, colorless is great choice)

* is it recommended to buy ?

if you doesn't live in tropical countries, YES! 

But if you live in tropical countries, please contact GlamGirl first about the shipping since maybe will happen same case with me

it's really lovely and i know you will really want this :)

Where to buy?
