Hadalabo Tamagohada face wash

Hadalabo comes with 3 variants, shirojyun, gokujyun and tamagohada. Tamagohada is more dedicated to reduce aging but i still using the facial foam anyway because it works as a mild peeling.



Amount : 100 grams

Price: around 20.000 i forgot the exact price



Tamagohada facial foam has AHA and BHA that works as chemical peel. That is what mild peeling essentially is. You won't find any scrub inside, but do not worry, AHA and BHA inside will  swept away the dirt and dead skin. I personally think the facial foam removes dead skin cells quite good because i do feel my face a lot cleaner and brighter afterwards.

Ingredients 





I use this facial foam only at night, because after doing chemical peeling i believe it won't be good for our skin to be clearly exposed to the sun. I ussually lather it well to soapy consistency, and apply it onto my skin, avoiding the eyes area. I just let it sit there for 5 minutes, while i brush my teeth and do something else. Chemical peeling needs time to dissolve the dirt, that is why i leave it like that. 

Foamy and thick consistency
To sum up, this is what i think about tamagohada facial foam



Loved:

Affordable

Won' dry out my skin upon application

Works as mild peeling

Foamy and thick concistency



Unloved:

So so packaging.


Cheers,.

Max Factor False Lash Effect Fusion Mascara Review

Mascara is a must have for me. It flatters the eye and makes my eyes got bigger.
Right now i am going to share with you a mascara that i have used for some period of time.
It is Max Factor False Lash Effect Fusion Mascara. Such a long name, huh? Hehehe
Let`s just call it Fusion Mascara, allright?


Product description ( www.amazon.com):

Why fake it when you can get a false lash impact with your own lashes? New False Lash Effect Mascara doubles your lash size* with the impact of false lashes without the fuss. It's this season's make up artist must have. The secret is in the lash boosting combination of Max Factor's biggest brush ever combined with patented Liquid LashTM technology. Now with every volumising coat the big brush sweeps right to the tips giving your lashes fullness and head turning attitude. The result is 100% impact. 100% you.

Key Features (www.amazon.com):
  • All the positive effects of false lashes with a new mascara.
  • Unique Big Brush with patented, thermoplastic elastomer technology and 50% more bristles (vs. Masterpiece Max Mascara).
  • Big Brush contacts and coats more of each lash in every go, sweeping volume right to the tips for length and lift.
  • Volumising Liquid Lash formula creates a natural-looking array of full-volume lashes.
  • Formula builds volume by allowing the brush to sweep to the tips from the first and each subsequent strokes.

Price: 125.000 rupiahs or about $ 12


The packaging reminds me of my favorite Covergirl Lash Blast Mascara. Even the brush is about the same. Big! Only the formula is a bit different. Covergirl is creamier and better. The mascara tube is bulky and fat so quite hard to be kept inside my make up pouch.


The brush is bulky with quite dense bristles. Very nice. It swept away the eyelashes nicely and separate them. The brush does a good job to make sure the formula does not clump on my lashes.
I like how it is big and comfy at grip. But the downside for the brush like this is how hard it is to get the lashes in the inner corner eye area.


The packaging and brush is okay, but how about the result?
I personally think that the mascara does not give any false lashes effect.
Separate and volumize? Yes! But like falsies? Not yet.
I personally loves to use two mascara. First, i use a very creamy formula of Silky girl eye opener mascara. And then, to separate the lashes and takes away the clump, i coat it once more with MAX FACTOR Fusion Mascara. This is a trick to make the result better.
Below is a swatch, i am using Max Factor only.

Before- after
What i like about this product
- It does not clump
- Good brush
- Able to separate and volumize

What i do not like about Max factor fusion:
- It does not give false lash effect
- Hard to reach some part of eyelashes with the brush.
- Pricey
- Smells strong and waxy

Conclusion
This is a good dupe for the great Covergirl Lash Blast Mascara. I like how it easy to grip. I personally recommend this baby for you who had long and thick lashes already as it will volumize, separate and make them beautiful. My beautiful friend, Oline from carolinelle has that kind of eyelashes and it works nice on her, whereas on me is just so - so

Repurchase? No

Sariayu 25 Best Choice Colors Eye Shadow Pallete Review

Morning, ladies!
I seriously love this kind of morning, i especially woke up early today.
Just sitting around, read a romantic novel and ponder.
Ya, ponder and think how i can learn from my mistake yesterday.
I seriously pay the price for being too curious, wanting to shaken other`s privacy and end up making someone precious to me embarassed. I learn and i promise myself to never do something like that again.

Anyhow, today i am back with another pallete review from Sariayu, a local brand from Indonesia. 
During 25 years, Sariayu has continuously making a color trend, unceasingly depict natural richness and Indonesian culture. This pallete is the best choosen colors from 25 years of color trend.


Amount:
62, 5 grams

Price:
I forgot mine, but i think it is about 140.000 rupiahs or about $14



Packaging and Overall Products

Packed in feminine purple cardbox that has magnetic lid, i personally think the packaging is pretty. It comes with two applicators which i lost already. Sorry >.<, but as i remembered, the applicators were two spongeheads and they do not work properly. Just so - so applicators. It comes with beautiful 25 colors, mostly shimmer and satiny. Hmm also two creme shadows.


Here i did some swatch, no primer whatsover,
 i just casually dip my fingers in and you can see how pigmented it is.
Even pale colors like white and gold appear nicely.

What i love from this pallete
- Affordable and available in Sariayu Counter everywhere
- The colors are true, pigmented and nice despite the affordable tag.
Do you know the difference between high end and low end eyeshadow?
High end eyeshadow ussually has more pigment inside, so what you see in the cake ussually their true colors. Nah, now that with Sariayu pallete i got true colors, this must be a great deal. Affordable with the quality of high end products.
- Some of the colors like brown and gold are very versatile to go for party.
- It is not chalky 

What i dislike about the pallete
- I was hoping the applicators were nicer. I would definitely keep them if they do.
- I find it a little bit powdery. Hmm, just do not forget to swept away any fallouts.

Conclusion

All in all this pallete is limited edition and definitely a great buy.
I have had this for a long time, and still has this build up curiousity to make more looks.
It simply does not bore me out, which is a great thing.
The colors are true, and last long even without primers.
The pallete is one of the must have for a party make up stash!

Cheers,
Hana

Skinfood Choco Eyebrow Powder Cake shade 2 Review

A new found love for eyebrow powder!
I use to have NYX eyebrow pallete and lost it somehow when i did make up at UPH Festival
I was still regret it everytime. Well, before i find this eyebrow cake!


Description on the back of the packaging
Each color produced to define and shape brows, plus a complimenting setting powder to keep them looking WOW! Set comes with blending brush

Price: 
40.000 rupiahs at the online store



Beauty Chica thoughts~


Sturdy Packaging, mirror and good applicator

I am such a clumsy girl. I believe I have dropped my make up at least once. Hehehe I have such a feeble hand. I too, dropped this Choco Eyebrow Powder two times already. The cake stayed, it won`t budge and it didn`t break either. The packaging is sturdy with cute vintage emboss depicting angel and brand name. I love how this cake comes with mirror and good applicator also. Though the applicator is stiff and harsh but somehow it works on applying the eyebrow powder.




Affordable

The eyebrow cake is tagged 40.000 rupiahs or $4, crazy cheap, huh? Well, I mean compared to another eyebrow powder, I think this choco eyebrow cake offers the most competitive price.

Great staying power, even when I sweat a lot!

The color stays all day especially when you stay in the air conditioned room. Even when I am outside and sweat a lot, the color doesn’t smear and doesn’t makes the area near eyebrow goes muddy.




Smells good

Hmmm, yummy! It literally smells like chocolate. Can you imagine? In the morning when I do my make up, I am indulged with such a great smell, mood boosts up 200%! hehehe



A little bit powdery
Don`t drag the brush, because the cake is powdery. I find if I dab the brush, I can pick just enough amount without making my make up table dirty.



Just enough pigment

I originally have a thick eyebrow and it is jetblack, just like the color of my hair. So, I find this choco eyebrow to be well suited for me because it is not overly pigmented. Just enough to fill the sparses on my eyebrow. Moreover, Korean eyebrow trend is thick but light in color.

This is how it looks on my real brow




Conclusion

If you have a very sparse eyebrow and looking for a pigmented eyebrow cake, this might not be for you. You will go nuts because it is hard to get the color you want. I try this once with my friend who shaved half of her eyebrows. She doesn`t like it and it is messy on her.

The cake will be perfect for a girl with a thick eyebrow, who is looking for more definition. Hehehe just like me! I personally will repurchase when I run out. I love Skinfood Choco Eyebrow Cake 

Rating: 5/5

Hana
