Saya & Sheet Mask Korea

23:12:00

Akhir-akhir ini saya kepincut berat dengan sheet mask Korea nih. Asli. Kebanyakan nonton Jo Jung Seok kali ya, hahaha.

Alasan sebenarnya ada 2, tetapi berhubungan satu sama lain. Pertama karena dalam proses menyapih, hormon dalam tubuh tidak seimbang dan membuat daur hidup tubuh saya macam rollercoaster. Efek utamanya di siklus menstruasi. Kacau parah, sampai memutuskan ke obgyn, takut ada apa-apa. Setelah “diatur” siklusnya, sekarang sudah berangsur normal. Nah, efek dari menstruasi yang sangat acak itu berpengaruh di kulit saya, mulai dari jerawatan, mendadak sangat kering dan anomali lain yang belum pernah saya alami, bahkan di saat hamil. Jadi saya mulai mencari solusi perawatan kulit dari yang paling mudah ditemui di drugstore, salah satunya sheet mask.

Kedua, karena Hayu sudah berhasil disapih, ada rasa merdeka yang meluap-luap dan keinginan untuk merawat diri agar kembali seperti sebelum hamil. Pengen centil-centilan lah singkatnya. Tapi perawatan di salon juga tidak mendukung waktunya karena mas Rendy kesibukan mengajarnya juga sudah normal. Go-Glam ga nyampe Sidoarjo juga. Alhasil sheet mask jadi jawaban semua penantian diriku.

Pengalaman pertama pakai Garnier Sakura itu, beli di Indomaret. Ini sudah senang sekali. Setelah menidurkan Hayu dengan sesabar mungkin dan berbagai upaya tanpa nenen, sheet mask yang makcles di wajah sambil harum menenangkan itu reward yang membisikkan “life is good baby, all is well” di telinga saya. Pagi-pagi cuci muka wajah pun segar bersinar kayak ga punya hutang. What a bless in this cicilan world yah. Hihihi. Masalah sebenarnya 21.000 rupiah dikalikan keinginan hati yang tak tentu sewaktu-waktu itu membuat otak berputar untuk cari solusi yang lebih irit.  Viva la cheapskate!

Petualangan saya membawa ke dunia sheet mask Korea yang bikin saya seperti anak kecil di toko mainan, ternganga takjub soalnya banyak bingitsss yang ingin dibawa pulang dicobain satu-satu. Celebon Platinum Essence Mask ini salah satu yang saya coba setelah Garnier. Cairan essence-nya berwarna putih susu yang agak keruh gitu. Wanginya saya netral ya, ga begitu suka tapi ya ga sampe ganggu. Dengan adanya gambar personil GFriend di kemasan Celebon ini pasti bikin orang mengasosiasikan bahwa dengan pakai masker ini bisa bikin kulit wajah kinyis-kinyis sekinclong adek-adek kiyut nan imut. Saya pun begitu. Sayang ras dan DNA tidak mengijinkan. Huahaha. Kulit jadi lembab dan kenyal, tapi tidak ada instant effect yang begitu berarti. Kalau harus memilih, saya akan memilih Garnier karena saya suka wanginya yang relaxing. Tapi hal ini wajar sih kalau melihat harga Celebon yang masih di bawah Garnier (di Guardian 17k-18k, kalau di sini 15k).

Sampai detik ini saya sudah mencoba 4-5 merk berbeda. I’ll tell you a lot about the journey. Jangan heran ya nanti kalau tiba-tiba blog isinya sheet mask melulu. =D Dan karena saya mengalami kesulitan cari sheet mask yang oke dan ramah fulus, saya bertekad agar kalian tidak melalui jalan terjal berduri ini. *tsah! Jadi selain berbagi pengalaman, saya juga jualan masker dengan harga terjangkau sekaligus teruji. Hehehe. Sambil menyelam memungut mutiara nih ceritanya.. Klik di sini ya untuk yang tertarik!


Oh iya, ini lho yang namanya Jo Jung Seok… ;)

12 Days Ago: Make-Up & Design

08:30:00

Phew, finally I got my spare time to tell you about several stories. Last weekend, or for the exact date was October 8th, 2011, I had 2 big agendas: Graduation Make-Up Challenge & c2o's DIY Talk Design Business & Management. 

If you read my past posts, I've already told you that I have a challenge, to do make up for my boarding house mates in their graduation day. I feel honored, but afraid at the same time. I'm not a professional make-up artist. I love to do experiment in make up, but usually for my self. I did several make-up test to them, days before to know their comments and critiques. And, here it is the results! 

#1 Tiwi
She have several special features in her face: 
long chin, definite eyebrow and mellow eyes. 
 She doesn't want to look too different in her graduation day, so I just stressing make up in lips and eyes.
This is the picture after the graduation procession. Yes, she was sweaty to the max. I actually have her photo just after the make-up done. I want to take it candidly, but she turned her head and her face covered. =(

#2 Fanny
Her special features: slight eyebrow, thin lips, slanted eyes and she usually wear glasses. For Fanny, I shaped her eyebrows, her eyes and her lips. I thought the different rather huge than Tiwi's.

And, I love my candid shot of Fanny, before she left the boarding house. =)
Do you see the roses on the side of her hijab? Yes, I did it too! I did Tiwi's & Fanny's headdress. I smiled ear to ear after they go to the auditorium at the sharp time. =D

Then, my second agenda was being (one of) the discussant of c2o's DIY Talk. I'm honored, once again, because when I saw into another discussant names, all of them had the experiences, chances and challenges which are harder and tougher than me. Even all of them had the education background in Design degree. Had met new people, new world. This is my first meeting into design constellation in Surabaya. I hope this discussion could bring a new step further, in any aspects (of design in Surabaya, and/or Indonesia). 

the discussants: Mas Ghuby (Global Applework), Mas Bayu (Graphichapter), Mbak Maritjee, me, Mbak Nitchii, Ayos
pardon my ugly feet. =P
the ambiance of the talks
me & mbak Nitchii (Nitchii)
If you wanna check the discussion result, click here. Unfortunately, it's only available in Indonesian. Hmm, there are still many stories. Check on you later, fellas! =*

Maybelline Lasting Drama: Envy!

16:04:00

Last weekend, I just bought a new eyeliner because my stylo-liner has run out. What I really want is eyeliner gel like Poet's --which is MAC, and I can't afford it, huhuhu--. I only could afford the imitation of MAC which I don't want to do it. I know it sounds naive, let it be. Because I'm aware of my wallet capability, I bought LT Pro point eyeliner, only IDR 57500, with a good quality. I bought this one also for next week graduation make-up challenge. ^__^
Poet's
My dream...
But guess whatt? Suddenly today, Arlia, my work-mate brought the gel eyeliner, authentic by Maybelline! Argh! Envy!
Me want this too! >,<
