Product Review: The Body Shop Born Lippy Lip Balm Passion Berry

Gambar
TBS Born Lippy Lip Balm in Passion Berry I have a dry lip so I wanna keep my lip moisturized all day. I usually have Nivea lip balm for myself, but since I was running out of the Nivea one, I figured why not try something else. Then I went to TBS counter and picked it straight away. TBS Born Lippy Lip Balm comes in a mini round plastic tub. Its small and handy but actually I dont really like this kinda packaging. I have to dip in my finger to get  it, so its not really hygienic. I personally prefer a stick packaging thou. It costs about IDR 69k. Yeah, its more expensive than the Nivea lip balm. It has a jelly texture kinda waxy. But when I put it on, its not so waxy or sticky at all. It feels creamy and light on my lip. It also makes my lip looking glossy. I wear this every day and night to keep my lip moist. I can tell you that it stays for over 2 hours, which is good enough. But in my opinion, this doesnt give me like a hardcore moisturizing power. Still moisturizes but not s

Losing Weight After Pregnancy

People been saying that its easy to lose weight if you are breastfeeding. Is that even true? how quick is it? sounds pretty effortless. Well thats NOT true at all, at least in my experience. I mean it sure did help me lose weight but not quick enough. Losing weight after pregnancy is not an easy task. It sure needs lotsa efforts. You have to workout, limit your intake, deal with the temptation of everything. I dont know how in the world could people like Beyonce or Miranda Kerr got their body back, toned, and flat abs in an instant. I mean seriously.. in only 3 months?? that just blows me away. I know they must hired a personal trainer, personal dietitian or nutritionist, or whatever. Yeah, forget them. Be realistic. I gained 20 Kg when I was pregnant. Yep, THAT much. Then it dropped about 10 Kg after I gave birth (so relieved at that time). After that, the scale just seem like never drop, well just lil by lil. Almost 11 months after my childbirth and I still need to lose 3 kg to g

Carseat, Baby!

Ive been wanting to get a car seat for my baby since he was 6 months old. Its not a must have item for me, but thought this could be a helper. You know from my previous post that he kinda had a sitting issue back then. He just wont sit still, on his stroller, high chair, even in the car when we go out he would be all over the place. I thought buying a carseat would be such a waste of money. So I kinda postponed. But then I found out my hubby will be gone to a site for a month (ohh..so sad T,T), so I couldnt rely on him anymore. I gotta be on my own. Besides, my baby is getting bigger. Gotta teach him some manner in the car, hehe. So I finally bought him a carseat last week. It wasnt the expensive nor the cheapest one. Its just what I wanted with a reasonable price. Its good thou. Comfy, nice material, nice color, safe and suit for my babys age. To be honest, Im more to a-SALE- person or -why not spend less-kinda person. I just dont see the point in spending lotsa money on something

Baby Stuff: Baby Scots, Platinum Baby Carrier vs Prints Baby Carrier vs Slingrider Baby Carrier

Kenapa Baby Scots? Hehe.. Bukan berarti aku penggemar Baby Scots loh yaa..Alhamdulillah semuanya hasil pemberian teman, rekan, saudara, jadi aku ga perlu beli beli lagi. Kebetulan yang dikasih ini merknya sama tapi beda tipe aja. Baby Scots memang banyak dijual disini, paling gampang didapat, dan harga juga pas buat kantong lah.. Platinum Baby Carrier ini bisa dibilang versi yang paling bagusnya lah. Bahannya kokoh, bentuknya lebih nyaman dan menarik, warnanya juga lebih classy, ada sandaran untuk kepala bayi. Buat aku ini memang yang paling oke, jadi paling sering dipake kemana mana. Baby Carrier ini lebih banyak 'strap' pengamannya. Ada yang untuk bahu kita, pinggang kita, juga untuk badan bayi. Lebih aman dan enaknya bagian badan bayi bisa dibuka. Mempermudah waktu ngeluarin bayi. Tapi kadang kebanyakan 'strap' juga bikin bingung. Apalagi kalo pas buru buru, pas semua lagi di 'unstrap'. Begh..bikin keringetaaann. Solusinya ya aku 'adjust' dulu sem

Product Review: MUA Undress Your Skin Flawless Skin Primer

Gambar
Hello my blog! Today I wanna talk about Makeup Academy (MUA) Undress Your Skin Flawless Skin Primer. Fiuhh.. whatta long name. LOL. I have been reading and hearing of good reviews on MUA cosmetic. In general, many people said they have such good quality in such affordable price. So I definitely should try at least one of their products, but actually Im planning on trying more stuff from them. Hehe. First time Im starting up with the primer. This Primer comes in a pocket sized plastic bottle. It also comes with a pump but I honestly hate the pump, since mine doesnt work well. I think its just me, mine maybe broken, cuz other people have no problem with it. Costs about IDR 135K. Its a silicone based primer with a gel texture. It is claimed to create a radiant complexion that feels velvet soft to the touch whilst reducing the appearance imperfections such as fine lines and open pores. So this morning was my first time of using it. I was in a hurry, so I didnt really pay attentio

Baby Stuff: Mamy Poko Extra Dry vs Pampers Active Baby

Gambar
Just a random post. Thought of reviewing baby stuff since I have talked a lot on mommy stuff. This may be or may not be so informative or interesting. Just enjoy sharing. So, today post is about diaper. Yes, Im one of those mothers who are STILL depending on disposable diapers. My baby wears disposable diaper only at night or whenever he goes out. Mamy Poko and Pampers are my two most favorite diapers, and the two brands that I ve ever tried.  On to the review. Mamy Poko Extra Dry was my baby's first diaper at home (when he was born, the hospital gave him some random diapers which I didnt recognize). Mamy Poko is pretty well known here for the quality. It comes in a pretty bulky design, bit thick.  Makes an obvious gap between my baby's legs. Non streatchable. The inner is soft but like I said, a bit thick. Now here comes the magic, it can absorbs so much liquid  and stays dry up to 10 hrs. Seriously, that just blows my mind. The downside is whenever my baby is pee-ing so m

Product Review: The Body Shop Vitamin E Nourishing Day & Night Cream

Gambar
I was running out of a day and night cream. So I need a new one, which can moisturize my skin perfectly. I have a normal to dry skin in some area of my face. I wanna try something new since the last product didnt really give the result as I expected that was said on the package. So here I am with my Vitamin E day and night cream from The Body Shop. I been using it for 3 weeks and its working pretty good. Why I chose the vitamin E range of cream? cuz it suits for all skin type. Since it contains vitamin E in it, I suppose it has an antioxidant effect, which I was looking for. The Vitamin E Moisture Cream comes in a plastic jar with a black colored cap. It is suppose to be used on daytime. I usually apply it before my foundation or make up. Its really creamy but pretty light consistency. I like it a lot. It is very hydrating, smells good, and sinks into the skin pretty quick. It doesnt feel sticky in my face. This day cream does not have an SPF in it, and does not have a whitening

Homemade vs Instant Baby Food

The fresher the better. By that, we can conclude that homemade food is a winner. I personally prefer homemade than instant baby food. So I always prepare and cook baby food everyday. We all know that in homemade foods we can assure the hygiene and the safety. We wash, clean, and cook the raw food throughly so our baby can eat the healthiest, nutritious possible food. Well at least thats what in my mind. So for the safety, we always select the right food according to their age. Process the food appropriate to their taste and their eating ability. Avoid certain foods and spices until the baby reach certain age, e.g salt, sugar, honey, fish, dairy etc. No chemical additives or preservatives. Its not like I never give my baby those boxed or canned baby foods. Im not against them. I do give him instant food, especially baby biscuits. The first time I introduced him with commercial baby biscuit, he liked it a lot. So it continues on until now. I also give him other commercial baby foods

Replica 911!

Replica or we can say fake products are spreading all over the nation. Its like an epidemic here. Seriously, from bags, watches, even cosmetics, they sell them nationwide both online and offline. Whenever I login to my socmed, there would be lotsa so called replica products. It even gets worst when lotsa people intetested on it, they actually wanna buy it. They just got a replica fever. No, I wont judge you whoever interested in it. I just wanna share my personal thoughts. Its not like I never tempted to buy a replica, actually I do. Once I kinda tempted for buying this one particular make up since its so cheap compared to the original. But then I was like.. what am I thinking?! I shouldnt do that. This is illegal. So I didnt buy it. Thank God my mind cleared up so quick. See, isnt it a crime selling and buying replicas? whether its KW 1  or KW super itas still fake right. The owner or the inventor should get the credits for what he invented. Imagine like you create something or

Breastfeeding, Baby!

Breastfeeding been a journey of life to me. Full of ups and downs, tears and happiness. I struggled a lot. Many people through it smoothly, while the other through some rough time with it, just like me. I been in a time when I got no breastmilk at all, when my baby couldnt have any intake for days, when I couldnt breastfeed my baby, when my baby couldnt even get the nipple and suck it right for almost a month. Still I determined to exclusively breastfeed my baby for 6 months. Yes, I finally through the first 6 months. No formula at all. Now Im planning on continue breastfeeding until he is 2 years old. We already know from the experts that breastmilk is the best milk ever. It provides so much nutrition for the baby. Some research even say that baby can actually stay and get enough nutrition from breastmilk only  without solid food for one whole year. But forget that, we, mothers definitely wanna give the best for our baby. So for me exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months is a must, t

Product Review : Wardah Luminous Liquid Foundation

So, I was at my mom's room looking out for something, but then I found this Wardah Luminous Liquid Foundation. My mom usually wear different foundie, she was just giving a try on that foundie while its so cheap. She said "just like in the commercial when hijabi women are wearing it, and they said its halal". I was like ookaayy.. why not try it too. The packaging of this foundie is simple. It comes in a squeezed plastic bottle, but lil bit hard to squeeze actually. The texture is liquid obviously, but not so runny consistency. The price is super cheap, around IDR 20-30k sumthin maybe, she forgot the exact price.  My mom had it in Beige. First impression was like..oohh this must be too dark for me. But when I put it on, it turned out to be a perfect match. It was divine (lebayy). I was in awe..haha (lebayy lagi). I mean seriously, I liked the shade on my skin a LOT.  Perfect for yellow undertone. No pinkish tone whatsoever like the Maybelline BB cream (just a compar

Product Review: Loreal White Perfect Day & Night Spot Corrector

I dont have a flawless face. I have blemishes and dark spots over my face. From tiny kinda invisible sized to a rice grain sized spot. So, I wanna get rid of them, of course I wanna have a flawless looking skin.  Then I found this treatment. Yap, Loreal White Perfect Day & Night Spot Corrector. I ve been using it for over a month now. First thought, its handy and small product, nice packaging. Its a dual function product consisting a day and night treatment. The day treatment suppose to have a concealing action, while the night one is a spot corrector essesnce. It contains highest concentration in Melanine-vanish (TM), which said to to give 50x more effectiveness with one drop compared to MelanoBlock (TM), the ingredient of Loreal previous formula. The day treatment has a creamy texture, but thin consistency. It is suppose to conceal right, but I dunno if I have to apply it like a concealer or rub it off like a regular skin care. If I use it like how I normally apply a co

Product Review: Oriflame Dual Skin Corrector

Oriflame Dual Skin Corrector I wanna do a review on this cuz I think there re not much people did or even they just dont recognize it. Okay, so I bought this concealer long time ago (still has a tiny bit of it eventhough now I have Revlon concealer in hand). It wasnt really my intention to buy this, but since it was my friend who brought the catalog and offered it to me, so why not try something. FYI, Im a huge fan of concealer. Im obsessed with it. I even thought that concealer is the greatest invention of all cosmetics, cuz I have bad dark circle. I mean REALLY bad. I also have other blemishes that really annoying. So for me, concealer is a must have product. On to the review. Its called dual skin corrector cuz its suppose to covers and hides imperfections and also dries out and help clears up blemishes since it contains vitamin e and Tea tree oil which has antimicrobial properties. It is a stick concealer with creamy texture. I got mine in Medium and it is a perfect shade

Ten Months, Baby!

Happy 10 months my babyboy! Love you more and more each day baby. Fiuhh.. time runs so quick. My adorable baby is getting bigger and older, just like me who is  definetely getting older. So what's new? Any improvements? Well, yeah. He s not walking yet but sure he could stand upright. He could make a step, even two steps, but by holding on something. He now has two teeth, horay! It kinda bugs me when other babies already have teeth even in their 7th months. So when he finally grown his teeth I was like crazy happy. Haha. Then he likes to talk a lot. I dunno what he s saying but hes  really into it since his vocabs improved.  He also more curious about stuff, especially foods. Like whenever I eat something, or just holding it he would be screaming, yelling and thats mean he wants it. He wants it so bad that if I dont give him he would be mad. Oh, really funny.Whenever he found something new he would go or do it over and over again. One time  I played cilukba with him, and h

Malam itu, tahun 2014

Woohoo its year 2014! Alhamdulillah.. Terima kasih ya Allah Kau masih pertemukan aku dengan tahun yang baru. Sungguh nikmat karunia yang Kau berikan di tahun 2013. Rasanya tidak cukup ungkapan terimakasihku padaMu, karena Kau begitu baik padaku, pada kami, keluarga kami. Di malam pergantian tahun 2013 - 2014 kami lewatkan di rumah. Berbeda dengan tahun sebelumnya, saat aku masih hamil sekitar 6 bulan. Saat itu aku masih bisa keluar, mencium aroma malam pergantian tahun, merasakan hiruk pikuknya, beserta kemacetannya yang sejujurnya tidak kusukai. Tapi karena kami berdua, maka aku sudah merasa senang. Sekarang berbeda, karena kehadirannya kami di rumah saja. Tentunya dengan perasaan cemad akan suara petasan dan kembang api yang begitu menggelegar. Yah.. dia tidak bisa tidur nyenyak karena suara suara itu. Terbangun dan merengek ketika terdengar dentuman yang memekakkan telinga. Kesal memang, tapi apa boleh buat namanya tahun baru ya pasti begini kan. Tak pernah terpikir sebelumnya
