Polling Anouncement + preview to next post

Since the polling that I made regarding to the topic that all of you prefer had closed. So, now I'll anounce that  you'll see more of my wig reviews :) But still, you'll see I posted other things such as makeup review, my travel story, my fashion collections, and also tutorials (hopefully).

Other than that, I'll also tell you that maybe I won't be as active like I've been doing these days. Why? Because I'll have lots of tests for my 12 grade :S 

But, at least I'll still keep post something 1 post/week and if I really don't do that, please forgive me TTwTT
And of course, it won't last long. On April I'll have my last test (the National exam) and after that time, I'll be more active. Yeayyy!! xD

For now, I'm still thinking my wish and goals for next year. I do really hope it will come true xD and if you guys want to know, I'll reveal 1 and that's: "I want to make an online shop based on something that I design+make." and I still believe, my passion for fashion won't be stopped as I enter a different major for my college. That's why I want to fulfill this goal.

Okay, I'm done with telling all of my polling announcement + a little story from me xP hehe.
Wish you all have a good day. See you on my next post! :D

[Coserstyle] Shinku wig

Hi everyone, how was your holiday? :D
First of all, I want to say merry christmas!
If you notice, actually shinku's costume have red and green color so it reminds me about christmas too. That's why I'm thinking about reviewing this wig today :)

Just to let you know, this wig was from coserstyle (taobao store) and the wig has 3 parts. They're 1 base and 2 twintails. Also, length of the twintails is 120 cm.

>Fibre : it's kanekalon fiber and you can iron it up to 180 Celcius degree. I ever tried to curling the wig once and it was still okay.

> Smoothness : Yes it's so smooth and easy to comb. But too bad when I used to an outdoor event, it's rather easy to be tangled (because the twintails are sooo long)

> Cap: it's up to large size, which is if a person has big head or thick hair. It will fit perfectly to your head :)

>Thickness: normal, not too thick or too thin.

> Color: the actual color is golden blonde. But, the color from the website photo is different from the real one. What i notice is the lightning they used for taking or editing the photo is too much.

And this is a photo of me when I used the wig xP

PROS:
-) can be heated up to 180 Celcius
-) smooth
-) easy to comb
-) the cap is fit for a person with big head/thick hair
-) Little fallout

-) not too heavy

CONS:
-) rather easy to tangled
-) pricey
-) the real color is different with the website's photo


Rating: 8/10

Will I buy another wig from this store?
Maybe. But I prefer to buy from another store.

Taiwan (Taipei) Trip

Hello again to all of you :D

It's a little bit late for me to tell my trip to taipei, because I went there on mid November..

Actually it's the 3rd time I've spent my holiday there and of course, it's lots of fun to have a holiday there xD

First of all, Taiwan is actually has many things to enjoy. I love the foods, places, and the important one --> SHOPPING xD xD It's really cheap to buy things and of course you can find many cute things too :P

Compared to china, the people were more friendly (in my opinion) and oftenly I don't need to bargain the price because they already have fixed price.

If you like japanese fashion, you can find many things with japanese style at Taiwan. At the sogo, they have many japan brands that you can find. Other than that, if you want to find cheaper things you can go to some places like Taipei City mall and shops around zhong xiao Sogo store.

(Street Snaps around Zhong Xiao Sogo)

(Big size of Crocs shoes xP)

For the 3 trips I spent on my holiday, I always stayed at i taipei service apartment. It connected to Q square and taipei city mall. Also, it's really easy to find public transportation such as train or taxi.

In Q square, at the women fashion department there are lots of things that caught my attention and of course it made me want to bought it. But when I see the price, again I need to think about it xP LOL.

And after go to some shops I found liz lisa store! So the temptation began there ;;w;; I also found tralala store which sells gyaru and harajuku stuffs. There're so many cute and cool things, but the price is not really friendly :X

Too bad I can't get the photo of liz lisa shop because the lightning isn't really good, so I only took some pictures on tralala shop. Here are the photos:

And some food's photos that I found:

 (Yamazaki Bread ;;w;; )

 (Lots of cheese :O )

 (Dinner with my family)

Another cute and unique things that I found, the heart and bunny plants xD

For your information, for those who loves anime, manga, or something like that (people call it otaku) . You will be very happy when visiting Taipei city mall. There, you can find figurines, comics, magazine, and toys with cheap and affordable price (if compared in Indonesia). From what I know, there's also a maid cafe and butler cafe, but I can't go to that place because I went together with my family :3

In winter, I found many cute and pretty things in Taipei city mall compared to summer season. Too bad, because I only 4 days in November trip, so I can't really buy many things.

But, here are the photos of my haul :

 (Same model, but I bought 3 different colors for these shoes)

(Kate Spade bag <3 Totally in love with this bag xD)

As a conclusion, I recommend you to go to Taiwan, especially Taipei <3 And to be honest, in my travel wish I put Taiwan as the 2nd number after Japan. Because I never once go to Japan T^T 

See you on my next post~ :D

My fashion's work+coordinate

Actually, I should had posted my work to this blog some months ago, since I've already finish it on August. This piece were inspired by a fairy, so on my photos below you'll see I'm wearing wings too :P
Eventhough it's already late, but I want to share my first work and coordinate to all of you. I hope you'll like it.

Skirt and bow were made by me and i coordinate it with a matching blouse.

Also, I made the head accessories to support this look.

and after finished it, I use it when I went to AFAID 2012. I'm super excited at that time. I wish to have another chances to go there for next year.
I have thought it will be super crowded and it's really happen. So, I'm so lucky to wear this outfit because it feels so comfy :)
In the evening, I took some photos with my friends. But some photos are noisy because the lighting weren't support us anymore :(
Here are some photos of me and my friends :)

Maybe next year I will open commision for making a dress/jsk/skirt/bows/blouse, etc xD But, before that I will study hard to finish my study in grade 12 and also keep improving my skills on sewing+design.

Thanks for reading, have a nice day :D

[Etude House] proof 10 eye primer

These days, I oftenly confuse what to post on my blog. Whether it is about makeup or wig review :S Maybe next time I will make a polling to see your opinion :D

Back to the title's topic...

Here's the picture of proof 10 eye primer

What is eye primer? Basically, it is use before applying eyeshadow. By putting a little amount of eye primer around the eyes, after you put eyeshadow in that area it will make the colors of your eyeshadow more appear and last longer.

 Here are the picture's comparison of using eye primer and without using eye primer.

(top- without using eyeprimer)

(bottom- using eyeprimer)

See the differences right?

Likes:

-) affordable (usually online shop sells it around 70.000 IDR)

-) easy to blend

-) the texture is soft 

-) helps to make my eyeshadow last longer

Dislike:

-) Hard to get (since it's one of etude house's bestseller, the products oftenly sold out)

*Notes:
If you compared this eye primer with other branded eye primer (example= bobbi brown, Nars, etc), of course the branded one will be more good and shows many differences.

But if you considered the price, this product is SUPER great! It's very suitable for people who likes cheap makeup with good quality and also a beginner.

[CC kids] Lolita twintail brown wig

Hi guys, today I'll write a review a wig from cc kids taobao.
Many of my wigs are bought from taobao, because they have great wigs with an affordable prices :)
In this review, I won't post the picture details (front, back, and side). But you can see the details on this Link

So, this is the spoiler of my wig xD

(with the twintails)

(without the twintails)

To the review~
Fibre = For this wig, it used kanekalon fiber and of course you can iron 170-200 Celcius. The wig looks natural (don't give flashy looks) in indoor and outdoor. If you used it properly, you won't notice that actually it's a wig :P

Smoothness = It's not too soft, but it's more like a human hair which sometimes can be tangled. To be honest, for curly wig it's a little bit difficult to take care of it compared to a straight wig. So you should comb it carefully so the tangled won't be more bad.

Cap = The cap is up to large size. It means any people that have small head or bigger head can use this wig. Personally, i think the cap is really comfortable so i don't feel heavy (when used the twintail) or dizzy when I'm wearing this wig.

Thickness = I can say this wig is Thick, but not too excessive~

*Additional note =
This wig isn't too heavy. When i used it, i don't feel like there's any load put on my head. But, you should remember using a twintail like this will be more heavy compared to use 100cm wig.

Last photo~ :)

Credits to Genny :)

Conclusion..
PROS:
-) natural (not flashy)
-) similar to human hair
-) Thick
-) cap is up to large head size
-) Not too heavy
-) can be ironed up to 170-200 Celcius

CONS:
-) Pricey (compared to another taobao store T^T )

Rating: 10/10

Actually, I don't really know what are another cons for this wig, because I'm really falling in LOVE with this wig. LOL xD xP
But, I should say this is the best wig I've had as i have for now.

Will I buy another wig from this store?
Absolutely! ~

[Ghostcos] 80 cm pink wig

Today, I made a mistake by accidentaly delete a review of my ghostcos pink wig =-= So I'll repost it again~ 
(Lucky me the page when I want to edit it, was still on the history so I can copy paste it)

And today I'll write a review of ghostcos 80cm pink wig :)

Actually it was long time ago since I bought this wig, but still I want to share some of my opinion about this wig. Of course, I hope it will be helpful :DD

So, here's my review~
Fibre = Almost all taobao's wig store used kanekalon fibre as their materials. So, you can use iron up to 180-200 Celcius. But, I don't really like the fibre because of the flashy looks. Even when you wear it in a normal lighting, sometimes the wig will shines a bit and it doesn't made the wigs looks natural. Other than that, when I combed the hair, there are so many fall out ;;w;; (At first, I don't feel the wig are easily fall, but when I owned other wigs, I've just realized this wig is really easy to fall out)

Smoothness = It's one of the good side of this wig: smooth~ At first when I touch it, the smoothness of this wig is similar compared to my real hair and of course, a good wig should be smooth so it will be easier to take care of the wig.

Cap = The wig cap has a large size. Inside the wig, you can set the size of the wig (by using the 2 hooks) so it could be fit to your head.

Thickness = I could say the wig is pretty thick, but considering the fallout I don't think this thickness would last that long if you often wear it. 

*Note:
The photo in Ghostcos website is similar to what will you have. Because they still used normal lighting for taking the pictures.
If you want to look this wig or others on their website, click here


You can see some of my photos below using the wig. (I don't use any makeup in these photos since it was only a costest and some camwhoring~ xD

(CLOSE UP) 

(FRONT SIDE~)

(LEFT SIDE xD)

So, here's my conclusion for this wig :)
PROS =
-) Soft
-) Heat resistant, up to 180-200 degrees
-) Thick
-) The cap is big
-) Pictures on the website is really similar with the real thing
-) Cheap [ only 78.90 yuan, what makes it more expensive is because of the shipping fees :S ]

CONS =
-) Too many fallout TTwTT
-) Sometimes it looks flashy/shiny

Overall Rating = 5/10

Will I buy another wigs from this brand?

No, I'll try to find better wigs from other brands.

Healthy Diet Tips and Trick (lose 0,5-1 kg/week)

I'm back to be more active, because Final test had finished <3 <3 So excited because of it xD

Today, I'm gonna tell you about tips and trick to do on a diet. It's absolutely important to be healthy, but it will be more awesome if you have an ideal figure.
Ideal Figure is not based on what you looked compared to others, especially when you compared yourself with the korean actress. It's based on how many fat you have in your body. To have an ideal figure, you should have an average fat content, not too little or too much.

*Ps: I've done this diet trick before and had succeed to lose 5kg. I don't get more weight loss because I set the goal to lose exactly 5kg.

So, here's the things to begin our diet :)

1. Measure your height and weight. To know your ideal weight, use this formula: 

    (Height in cm) - 107 = Your ideal weight

2. Make goal or timetable to reach your ideal weight

3. Some things you should NOT eat when doing this diet =

--- Fried (deep fry or pan fry)

--- Ice cream

--- Contains cream

--- Cow or duck meat

--- coconut milk

--- cheese

--- Preservative foods or cans

4. Start to DECREASE for eating this food =

--- contains flour/carbohydrate

--- sugar

--- Seafood

5. Do exercise min. 4 times/week for 45-60 minutes (non-stop)

*For reference, because the time period is long so I decide to walk non-stop for my exercise

6. Drink many water. Because water can helps your digestive to be more good in absorbs nutrition and it makes you eat little.

So, examples of food you could eat are ....

> baked

> fruits and vegetables ( eat as many as you want!)

> WHOLE WHEAT bread

> fish, chicken

And finally I should admit this :X In my own opinion, maybe you won't have very big ideas for eating and maybe you think this diet would torture you. But you should know something, you can eat many healthy food if you want to search the recipe. There are so much thing you could search on the internet.

As for i-Pod or i-phone user, there are so much useful application to support your diet. I use "myfitnesspal" for looking my progress and instagram would be great to search inspirations to do your diet.

Last but not least, these are the tips that i want to share (it's really helpful)

>>Don't mix too many diet method because it won't be useful/successful.

>> try to search calorie counter application and make notes everyday or every 2 days how many calorie have you eat and compare to exercises that you've done. Is it balanced?

>> expand your knowledge on healthy food and "fatty" foods

>> Make commitment in yourself to be patient and be happy with any of your weight loss, but don't stop until you've reach your goal.

>> It'll be so hard in the beginning to start a healthy routine, but once you've done it. You'll be more happy for go through it.

>> After 2 months or 3 months on your diet, it's normal when you'll face harder times to loss your weight.

>> FACTS: Playing music will also burn your fat.

[Coastal Scents] 78 eyeshadow blush palette

It's been so long since I've made a post to this blog, cause there're so much thing to do on my past weekends and also the weekdays T^T
But, today I'm back with full of courage and I want to write a review about a palette that I bought 5 months ago and I'm sooo lucky to get that palette with discount price <3 <3
*PS: please remember if you want to buy this product, you should look carefully at the colors in the palette and the original one ONLY have blush and eyeshadow in this palette. Because there're so many palette that says the brand is coastal scents, but it's the price so much cheaper than you purchase on the official website/supplier.

Official website: http://www.coastalscents.com/

And here's the pics of my palette <3

(top) cover of the palette, (bottom) package

Wanna know does it worthed to buy? So, keep reading my review <3

Packaging = Since I think packaging is important, I should say this is GREAT! Why? The package is simple but nice, also from this picture below, you can see the eyeshadows are well organized. So it will be easier for anyone to choose the color that you want to use. But, a palette has a big size (same as any other palette) so I think it's not really suitable for bringing it anywhere~ Usually I only use it at home.

Pigmentation = The colors are easy to blend and shows up really well to my eyes, you'll only need a little amount to use the eyeshadow and the result will be much better if you use eye primer. But, some of the light color doesn't show up when you already apply it to your eyes, especially for the white. In my opinion, I don't like the white color in this palette, because my eyes will looks strange when using this color 0__0
(I've take a pic, so you can see the pigmentation of this eyeshadow)

(Top-left) I touch the eyeshadow slightly, (Top-right) after cleaning it with water

As for the blush on, I love the colors they choose for this palette. Because I can use it for the blush on my cheeks and also for contouring my face <3 and when use it, the color will shows up naturally.

The colors are so GORGEOUS right? and sooo many pastel colors <3 

Stay power = For the stay power, if you use eye primer the colors could be last for almost 12 hours. But for the blush personally I think it only stays for 5 hours.
(I use my makeup on 9am and this pics below taken on 9pm)

Overall, here's the PROS:
-) Affordable, I bought it only IDR 225.000
-) Easy to blend
-) Great pigmentation
-) The eyeshadow's color are well-organized
-) Nice and pretty colors

CONS:
-) Doesn't stays long without primer
-) Not travel friendly
-) The light colors doesn't really shows up

Rating = 9.5/10

Overall Comments,
It's an awesome product, the price are affordable and it has so much colors. So, for beginners I think it will really suites you <3

[Diva Soul] brown circle lens

Hi everyone,

I've just bought 1 pair of circle lens 1 month ago and I chose brown color, because I think brown always suits in any occasion :P When I'm talking about this lens, I could say this lens is "low price, but high quality" xD

Here's the information of the circle lens that I bought..

Manufacturer: Diva
Production (country): Korea
Diameter: 14.80 mm
Water content: 50 %
life span : 12 months

To the review~

Enlargement = BIG!! :D Even though the diameter is only 14.80 mm, when you wears it, it looks like you're wearing 16++ mm lens.

Comfort = I felt so comfortable when wearing this pair of lens. After getting this lens, the next day I tried to use this pair to a cosplay event and I wore it for 13 hours (from 8 am until 9 pm) without using any eyedrops.
When I realized it, I felt really satisfied for buying this lens because it's really comfortable >w< 

But, at the first time you're wearing this lens, you'll feel it's uncomfortable. The solution that I've done to solve this problem is slowly move the lens to the right & left and rotate the lens (360 degrees), after that I put a single eyedrops, blink my eyes 3-5 times, and finalyyy! it feels comfortable until night :)

Color = The color is natural and sometimes others won't notice when you're wearing this lens, but I like to used this lens for cosplaying as lolita characters or family outing or party :) It's really multifunction~

Below, I'll give you the 2 photos of mine wearing the lens, when I went to a friend's party and also cosplay event :D :D

(Going to a friend's party)

(Cosplay time~)

Another photos~ to give you more information :)

This photo (below) is the comparison when I'm wearing the lens (left) and not wearing the lens (right). See the big differences right? xD My eye looks sooo bigger :D

Here's the summary~

PROS:

-) Cheap price (around IDR 100.000) xD

-) VERY comfortable

-) BIG enlargement

-) Natural color

CONS:

-) a little hard to put it into your eyes (maybe because I have a small eyes .__. )

-) the life span is not really 12 months, it's based on how you take care the lens.

So, will I buy again this lens next time?

Absolutely :D

(Ryuuta wig) Natural Brown wig

First Review~ Yeayy xD

Today, I'm gonna tell a review about my brown wig (lenght: 70 cm) and it's purchased from "Ryuuta wig". It's a local store from Indonesia, but she only sell the wigs online. The owner is sooooo kind and the service is really good. If you get interested by this wig, the code is VW039A but sometimes the wig will sold out, so you need to ask whether she will restock it or not.

If you wanted to buy it, here's the link :)
http://www.facebook.com/ryuutawig?ref=ts

Now, back to the review..

Fibre = I'm not really sure about the fibre. But, from the descriptions of the wig, it's heat-resistant. So you could use an iron for this wig. But I had never tried it, because I'm to scared if there's something bad happen with the wig :O


Smoothness = It's super soft and likes a human hair xD

Thickness = Personally, I think this wig is thin compared to my other wigs. But, it's easy to manage and not easily fallout.


Colour = I love the colour, and the colour is between light and dark brown. It's not looks fake, so if you see it, you won't noticed that actually it's a wig.

Here's the photos with me using the wig :P

In short, here's the pros and cons :)

Pros:
-) Cheap (only IDR 135.000) xD
-) not flashy or looks fake
-) Super soft <3
-) the color looks natural
-) Heat resistant
-) not easily fallout


Cons:
-) Thin
-) The cap is not really big

Rating = 6.5/10

Will I buy another wigs from this store ? 

Yes, if there's a wig that I liked :)
