STOP NYOLONG people!

Setelah berkali kali baca postingannya Arman yang photo familynya terus menerus dicolong orang..gw baru beneran ngerasain secara poto gw dicolong sama orang dan company yang menurut gw ga bertanggung jawab. Dan gw bawaannya uda pengen ngoceh ngoceh aja, padahal baru 3 poto yang kecolong..kalo gw jadi Arman, gw send virus ke email company ato orang yang nyolong kali. 

Saban baca postnya Arman yang ngoceh ngoceh, gw berasa ikutan sebel karena gw tuh PALING keki sama orang yang plagiat, karena menurut gw itu low banget dan nyebelin. Kalo kemaren ini pada sempet liat di facebook gw, gw pajang secara terang terangan nama MUA indo yang menurut gw pake photo before & after gw di profile pic BB nya secara ga bertanggung jawab.

Ni liat..Aku baik kan uda Mosaic nama dan BB Pin dia?

kemaren orangnya yang ambil photo ini udah kontek gw dan bilang..kalo ini semua adalah kesalah pahaman karena dia ga pernah maksud ngaku ngaku itu hasil dia, karena sebenernya dia cuman suka transformasi muka gw dari before ke after. 

Ok, thanks! Tapi, gw ada loh print screen-an percakapan MUA ini sama temen gw yang kebetulan mo jadi client dia..dan tanya apa itu hasil karya dia, dan dijawab IYAH. Yang kemudian diluruskan kembali sama sang MUA kalo itu semua kesalah pahaman dan dia udah apus photo gw ini dari profile picnya. Ok, fine..mari kita anggep ini case close.

Tapi boleh dong gw ngoceh- ngoceh di blog? secara ini blog gw, dan kejadian ini menimpa gw..nama sang MUA dah gw mosaic dan dia ga gw rugikan kan ya? Tapi kalo sang MUA baca ini, ya sudahlah..baca sana..toh, photo itu diambil dari post di BLOG ini juga kok. 

Pertama, jangan ocehin gw suruh pake watermark..karena lu pikir watermark ga bisa di edit kah? Gampil editnya, dan apa jaminannya kalo pake watermark, photo lu ga bakal di colong? Ga da!

Kedua, gw pas landed back di SG dan liat print screen-an sang MUA ini..gw langsung sebal pol!

Gw pajang nama dan BB pin nya di facebook gw, dan gw ga merasa salah kok..karena, wong dia pake muka gw secara terang terangan juga kok..ngapain juga gw ngumpet ngumpetin nama dia? ya ga? Mo bilang action gw jahat, karena orang jadi tau dia pake profile pic palsu dan nama dia jadi jelek? umm..ya nasib lah, sapa suruh pake pake poto orang? Waktu dia bilang, dia ga pernah ngaku itu hasil karya dia..gw sebenernya ngerasa alesan itu agak ga make sense, secara dia dagang lapak dia di BBM..pajang poto before and after gw, kalo lu jadi customer..lu pasti langsung asumsi, itu hasil karya dia kan ya? Apalagi dia MAKE UP ARTIST.

Agak odong aja lah kalo alesan yang dikasi itu kesalah pahaman, ga begitu logikanya tong!

Kalo lu ke toko baju, yang pertama lu liat kan etalase baju nya..dan udah wajar kalo lu asumsi di toko itu jual baju yang dipajang di etalasenya. Masak lu liat etalase baju di toko, pas lu masuk nanya " mbak baju yang ituh mana? " si mbak yang jualan bilang " Oh maap non, itu bukan baju kita..hanya kesalah pahaman aja kalo non menganggep itu hasil kami, Kita cuman suka aja sama designnya dari designer A " PRAAAANNG!! - ngerti ga kalo gw umpaain begini?

Jadi, walo gw menganggep case itu close dan gw sudah " yasudalah " sama sang MUA ini, gw cuman pengen clear up this thing..untuk sang MUA dan semua yang baca. Be original. Be creative. kalo mo sukses di dunia beginian. Gw juga belon sukses sukses amat..tapi at least, gw ga pernah ada kepikiran pake poto orang untuk dipajang di profile pic :) - ga ethic ah -

Next,

Ini company yang mayan terkenal..St. Ives Singapore..yang nemuin juga temen gw dan di print screen ke gw.

Walo yang ini masi mending, karena dia credit blog gw, gw tetep ngerasa kok ibarat gini yah..gw nyolong tas Hermes si A, dan gw bilang ke semua kalo ini tas nya si A loh, tapi si A nya ga tau kalo tasnya dipake gw. Itu kira kira termasuk kategori nyolong ga?

Photo ini diambil dari blog post SK-II gw yang ini:

Karena blog post gw yang ini termasuk property SK-II, gw laporin aja ke agency yang gw berurusan dan mereka yang bakal lanjutin the next step nya.Nge-hemat biaya dongkol.

Dan yah, mungkin sisi positipnya gw bisa ambil..kalo muka gw mayan laku lah ya sampe dicolong colong gini? dan hasil make up gw termasuk mayan Wow lah ya sampe dibajak pula?

Cuman yah itulah..sungguh oh tidak sopan kamu pake2 poto orang ga ijin!

Kegalauan akuh di malam hari..

Uda 4 hari belakangan, selama gw di Jakarta..gw beneran ga bisa bobo - biar seharian teler jagain ethan..tetep aja malemnya gw baru tidur jam 1.30am onwards. Kayaknya pas merem, banyak banget hal yang gw pikirin gitu..Jakarta, for some reason bikin gw bersusah ati gitu. Bukan soal macet en riwehnya ni kota, tapi more to people and things yang close to my heart tinggal di sini yang ga bisa gw liat tiap hari ato do something yang berarti di idup mereka.

Kayak oma gw yang ngegedein gw uda bed ridden dari 10 taon yang lalu..yang uda bener2 vegetable stage gitu. Setiap kali gw berkunjung ke rumah oma gw, gw suka duduk di samping ranjangnya en ajak dia ngobrol yang hepi hepi..tapi pas gw sampe di rumah, gw jadi kepikiran " kenapa dia ga dipanggil aja ke surga cepetan? Biar dia happy sama akong gw disana.." he eh, gw berharap oma gw cepet berpulang, karena gw ga tega ngeliat dia berbaring begitu for another year. Ujung ujungnya kalo uda mikirin oma gw, malemnya gw nangis hebat..either di shower ato di balik selimut. T_T

Lalu gw mikirin bonyok gw yang semakin tua, dan anak yg semata wayang ini ga tinggal deket mereka..malah bakal cabcus makin jauh pula..ni otak tu jadi ngelanglang buana mikirin ini itu. Dan gw jadi entah ga tau mo gimana. T_T

Dan malem ini, malem ini dong super gajebo..gw guilty beli doggy gw karena ternyata bonyok gw bukan dog person dan anjing gw itu pretty much yah dibiarin aja begitu..tetep dikasih makan, disayang, dibawa ke salon dan di rawat..tapi bonyok gw bukan tipe yang ngajarin anjing dll, yang ada akhirnya anjing gw jadi lonely dan agak2 brutal gitu..gw lagi kepikiran mo looking for a new home buat anjing ku, he is a 1 year old male pomeranian yang super cantik! Kalo ada yang tau, family yang sayang anjing dan mau nge train anjing untuk dirawat en disayang..let me know!

Oh, sama kalo ada yang tau pet exporter terpecaya..please PM me :)

Gw typically orang yang cuek happy go lucky bener deh, i don't give a shit soal orang mo mikir apa tentang gw..tapi ternyata kok ati gw lembek gini yah kalo urusan kuarga? Emang Rocker juga manusia yeh ibaratnya. 

Nanti malem, kalo pada berdoa..sempilin nama aku yah di doa mu ya. Makaci. Aku perlu " inner peace " ni. Haha! - nyanyi: kungfu fighting! Teng teng terenteng teng teng! Teng teng! *doeeeng* - bunyi gong -

Perasaan da lama aje ya daku ga mencucurkan isi hati di blog ini? Ternyata, bisa lega dikit yah abis secuap dua cuap di sini. 

Yasuda - eke mo coba tidur dulu..sekian curahan ati paling dalam ku ini, dan btw, gw ga lagi PMS..jadi jangan bilang kalo ini gara gara hormon yah! :)

Sama jangan lupa, sempilin nama di soa yah. Sekian :)

Now, the tutorial!
You've seen me with quite a lot of tutorial, but this time I am creating a Japanese make up tutorial.
Don't close my blog just yet, But if you are thinking about Gyaru make up - then ok..just close my blog. :)
Apparently, Japanese make up is way more than just a gyaru or lolita make up. If you are just a normal lady like I am and looking for a clear and nice complexion with a touch of nice eye make up that emphasize your soul - read up!

That is Japanese make up.
Putting the quality in the brand you are using and enhance the beauty in you, is what creates a Japanese make up quite a trend these days.

This is me below :)
Before and after.
Using 24H Japanese make up collection available at Tokyo Luxey.

I am still looking like me but a better version of me.

I prep my face using the foundation stick by 24H cosmetics so i don't have to worry of having too long make up on my face. It's gentle on skin.

Creates the butterfly drawing using this stick.

 ..and simply blends it with my warm finger.

Next, is the concealer

This 24H brand concealer is pretty smooth and easy to blend, but it's just too bad that the coverage is sheer to medium.

Tips: apply the under eye concealer in inverted triangle shape under the eye to brighten the area.

I found, Japanese make up tend to have a full and compact coverage on the face - and if it's not a smokey eyes - they will go entirely light on the eyes.

And to create that full coverage effect, I apply the powder foundation by 24H.

Do bear in mind, that double up stick foundation and powder foundation might not look good on everyone. Yes, it will cover up most of the blemishes but if you don't get the colour right for your skin tone - good luck in fixing it.

So, if you wish to re-create my look, make sure you pick the right colour. 

Otherwise, stick to one type of foundation to do the job.

24H powder foundation is not bad in doing the covering job, I just wish that the finishing effect could be smoother.

Take a small amount of the powder to the available pad.

Dab it in the rolling motion all over your face.

This is how it look, fresh after the application - I would say I don't like the powdery effect look at first. But when my skin oxidase and the texture is fully absorb - that's where the hidden magic happened.

Next, the blush..

I guess this one need no introduction..

Only that, you need to know that 24H blush is really pigmented and I am loving the coral color on my skin.

It comes with the applicator. Fuzz free.

I will skip the part that you need to shape the eyebrow on this tutorial, but remember to do it, yea?

Next, the eyeliner!
This is a must for Japanese make up (and in my case, for all make up) - when i was in Tokyo..I was shocked to see the 1 whole wall full of eyeliner, from the pencil, liquid, cream type , be it waterproof, smudge proof, 24Hours stay, tears proof and whatsoever! I feel like bringing the whole wall back to home. One can't have too much eyeliner anyway. ^^

This time, I use K-palette eyeliner..(not from Tokyo Luxey though).

If I can only pick 1 liquid liner to go with me, I definitely take K-palette with me.

I most of the time, feel hesitate to use liquid because I found it troublesome and harder to control than pencil eyeliner, but this K-palette proof me wrong.

I am loving it.

 

Tips: How to get a smooth looking eyeliner using liquid.

 If you are not an expert in drawing a line, maybe connecting the dot might make some sense.

Same rules apply in drawing a smooth eyeliner.

See the pic below:

Step one: Instead of just happily draw the shape you wish to have, start a little stroke of line and work from there..make sure you open your eyes and look at the mirror straight. From there, you can gauge the thickness of your eyeliner.

To complete the eyelook, I am using Charee lashes!

Never heard about this brand before? Of course! because this wonderful and super comfortable lashes is just about to launch, and the owner Ms. Vivian is a kind, gorgeous and talented lady gave me a bunch of her full collection to try on!

Awesome to the max!

You will see more of Charee lashes in my blog! and stay tuned for the giveaway too!!!

See how gorgeous is the lashes? and trust me as professional make up artist opinion, eyelash could make the whole look different!

Lastly, I use this lovely shinny powder to highlight the inner corner of my eyes and along the line under my lower liner. It gives you an instant eye glow.

Like this:

To finally complete the whole look, I use 24H lipstick that is really nice to create a sheer glow on your lippy. Not so much on the pigmented side, but i love the moisturizer content in the lipstick.

and..done! This is the final look of My Japanese make up version.
Do you like it? or should I do the typical Japanese make up with lower lashes too?

Bubble Perm from Salon De Choix

I got myself a Bubble Perm!

Yes, it's a new technology called Bubble Perm.

Before you start reading on the process, i just want to let you know that this is my favourite hair perm EVER! You will know why soon enough..:)

As I mentioned in the previous Salon De Choic post, I don't like straight hair.

I found with straight cut, my hair are most of the time in damp condition - unless I am just out from Salon De Choix for some fresh cut. Apart from that, I blame Singapore humidity and my hair texture for the constant bad hair day.

That is why, just before I flew to Japan..I requested Sharon Wu - The founder & director of Salon De Choix to pimp my hair up. She agreed, and gave me the most lovely perm i ever have in my hair perming journey.

This is my before hair, not too bad but not my favourite.

After I had a quick and light wash up, the team were getting ready to bubble perm my hair.

The glam team decided to give my hair an extra "oomph " by creating a slightly higher curl than the normal one.

Apologise for the tired looking face, eye bag, and pale face.

It was one hell of a week to rush for work, bringing lil love to Jakarta to be with his grandparents, flew in to Singapore the next day, carrying luggage to the Salon, and off to Tokyo in the same night.

and oh, I think i keep sharing this in my blog..but i am going to share it everytime I had this treatment! This kerastase treatment is a MUST! whether your hair is permed, coloured or not. Please, i beg you in the name of beauty, try this one out and have it convert you to their followers.

This treatment is amazing! It makes my tangled hair smooth and just oh so soft and bouncy to touch.

Love it!

Another treat I received from Salon De Choix is this Moroccan Oil!

Another item on my wish list! and why is it on my wish list? because it's ALWAYS sold out in the salon, even when i want to purchase one for my own sake.

This is my " after " permed hair :)

It's still looking healthy.

..and to style up..Salon De Choix team use Moroccan goodness on my hair.

And this is how it look like!

Tadaaa...!!!

No mo ahjumma curl, no more messy curl!

Please welcome my bubble perm :)

* I am super happy!!!!*

 

Front view :

and what is the best thing about this perm is, you don't have to wait 3x 24 hours like the normal curl to wash your hair. Because of the new technology, you can wash your hair even in the next day!

How awesome? and not to forget Bubble Perm from Salon De Choix is easy to style..
