a beauty blogger wannabe

Ahem..

to make it sound more official, I'm gonna write down this post ala beauty blogger. Despite my lack in beauty experience, also that I might not be good in make-up thingy, I'm quite a skincare junkie.

Today I'm gonna review two products from Lancome I bought yesterday.

First is Primordiale Skin Recharge Visible Smoothing Renewing Moisturizer SPF 15. Taken from its website:

"A silky cream texture with SPF 15 protection for an ultra-efficient protection against fine lines. Immediately, achieve a smooth, soft and vibrantly radiant skin. Day after day, skin looks younger, and fine lines are visibly reduced.

Biotin (B8), a powerful energetic co-enzyme, is able to recharge skin cells with energy, allowing them to recover optimal functioning levels. Skin quality is visibly improved. Also, gentle exfoliants stimulate skin cell renewal which helps to refine skin texture: fine lines look smoother, softer and skin is glowingly radiant."

Instead of being creamy, the texture has 'gel-like' feeling which gives you instant comfort and a bit of cooling effect. It smells very nice, too. Primordiale Nuit smells awful to me, old-lady feeling, though I still use it on night. But this one is very nice. :) It hydrates my skin very well, too.. feels so smooth upon application.


Second is Primordiale Yeux Skin Recharge Visible Smoothing Renewing Eye Moisturizer. Taken from its website

"An ultra-smoothing cream-gel for a targeted action against fine lines around the eye contour area. Better protect your eye contours against premature ageing. Visibly smoother, the eyes glow with luminosity. Primordiale Yeux Skin Recharge eye cream is enriched with Vitamin E to help to neutralise free radicals. Exfoliant agents also gently smooth the eye contour area to reveal radiant looking skin."

I already love its moisturizer texture, and I'm falling deeper for its eye cream texture. It is more gel-like, very easy to spread, its cooling effect awakes my tired eyes, fragrance is subtle. To top it off, it also contains Mexoryl ingredients patented by the company to avoid the harmful UVA effect. I very love this one!

I can't say much about its effect on fine lines, yet. Well.. this is my very first day. But before I type this post, I noticed that pores in T-zone area significantly appear smaller. Isn't that awesome??

They are really worth the price, imo. Excellent skin needs less make up! Thus I can save a lot more than spending my money on concealer or foundation to camouflage skin flaws :)

I also want to try their Color Fever Dewy Shine out.. Next month maybe. Hehehe XP~

i don't believe it's monday

Is today Monday???

Really???

Cos it feels like it's not!! I am so so much much happy today~~* HAHAHA. I know I might look very strange today. I can't help stop smiling and singing for a day long. I can't really explain why I do so :P Just that I am happy, enough.

This is very strange.. consider a very small change can actually make up my mood in a great way!

I must be crazy, but I don't care. HAHAHA.


Happy then must celebrate it, rite??

I went to buy Primordiale Yeux Skin Recharge and Primordiale Skin Recharge Moisturizer SPF 15. They are very pricey but worth the price. I always trust Lancome. They never mess up my skin. Clothes may change seasonally, but I'm gonna wear this skin forever, so must treat it well correct?? Will do reviews asap.


Erm.. Is there left to say??




HAPPY HAPPY LOVE LOVE LOVE~* MUUAACHHHHH ♥

weekend

I know I rant a loooootttttt and I know nobody likes reading posts full of ranting, esp. about insignificant things.

So I'm trying to stop ranting now and instead, entertain you readers with my positive entries!!!

Mum, bro, and me went to mum's hometown and visited grandpa's and some ancestor's cemeteries as 清明節 (qing ming jie) is coming soon. The sun was sooo fucking hot hot hot till it almost burned my head! *oopss do I sound like ranting again?*

We had lunch in Warung Asih as usual and I ordered two big glasses of iced tea (with huge ice cubes, too!) to relieve my burning throat!!! It's very very very hot, I told you! On the contrary, Surabaya's weather was quite cool and it's cloudy all day long. -___-


Of course Tanggul is only a regency and if compared to Surabaya, it looks much like dead. Hahaha. Seriously.. I was born and raised in Surabaya and I don't get how people live their life and spend 16 hours per day with that condition. People usually open shops or selling goods in traditional markets. There is no shopping mall and though TV is very common but I'm not sure internet service is common, too. Whoa. How can I live without internet? I can survive without TV, but NOT without internet. My mum and I often joke about me working there after graduation. Well.. If they offer me good salary, I will deal with that. XP


Another week starts to kick again tomorrow. Hahaha.

But yeah, I'm not gonna ranting! I wanna be happy and think positive allllll the time!! I think I'm tired of ranting about my daily life because there's no way I can change that. If I'm fed up with that then the only way to get outta this situation is to graduate asap.


Anyway,
yesterday's photoshoot was super great. We had much fun and was happy with our concept. It was simple but cheerful. I can't wait to collect the files already and upload them here. My very first professionally-shot photoshoot btw. :D

I feel sooo positive!!!! This is similar to falling in love. Or am I? I can't really tell you so. Hahaha. I hope everything goes well tomorrow~ ♥

friday night

I am boooorrrreeeeedddddddddddd!!!!!


I am sooo overwhelmed with the weather. Super duper ultra hot till it feels like being deepfried in a huge frying pan heheheh.

But seriously it's hot yeah~*

As it is reaching weekend again, I don't have idea how to pass it. Tomorrow will have yearbook photoshoot with my friends at 9am. I haven't planned to spend the rest of the day.
I wanted to watch Dragonball movie but as Kurkur said it wasn't as good as the comic so I hesitated :P I'm bored to shopping as well.. even an up-to-70%-sale-event being held in Sheraton Hotel didn't tempt me at all. Because I'm saving money. And I keep repeating this 'saving money' as a reminder so that I always stick to my plan. Hahaha.

I soo want to go out with my friends but everybody has a plan already so we can't make it out this week :(


Idk why recently have been afraid of my skin condition. I'm turning coquettish :P
Breakouts everywhere man!!! Must be because of dirty clinic air!!! I haatteee... My skin was much better when I was in holiday. Less redness, less breakouts. I'm such an itchyhand that I can't hold myself from squeezing the acne out! Ewwww~~ I know and I'm afraid of acne scars but yeah.. ithcyhands. Acnes are gross and I want to puke out gross thingy from my face. Hahaha.

Also afraid about early-wrinkles appearance!

Though they say that fine lines and wrinkles usually develop at the age of 30 something, I still feel not sure because stress, pollution, and unhealthy foods can speed it up. Once it appears, it's so fucking difficult to remove it.

Prevention is always better, correct???

I'm not ready living with wrinkles, k?! I think I should start investing in anti-aging products and will check out if Lancome is offering good deal.

Tomorrow is public holiday!!! Woot woot~*

I feel awesome super terrible.

I don't know why I have been so emotional recently.. mood swings.. bad-tempered.. terrible.. sigh.

Speaking of bad-tempered.. I feel like turning into a monster. -__-
I could less tolerate wrong things. If I catch up with anything that irritates me, my anger just explodes right away.

Sometimes I think the problem isn't worth my anger, but yeah sometimes it is.

I really feel sorry for those PDAM officers who were working in front of our houseyard.. I know they don't read my blog, but I want to apologize for shooing you guys away. I was too angry to hear your explanation before I realized that you were doing no wrong and I actually didn't need to dramatize that.

I AM REALLY TRULY VERY SORRY.

My mood had been screwed up since this morning due to usual parking lot problems in my campus, but sorry I'm not gonna write down the story here. It's too fucking irritating..

What I concern about is my poor anger management. Should I see a psychiatrist? Or do you have any advices?

Well. It doesn't mean that I'm going insane or what. Maybe I just need a professional's help to know whether my current behaviour/mood is quite normal or not. Losing control over yourself is really annoying to people around you.


Ok, enough about that.

If you have time, please visit MattLogelin website and prepare yourself to fall in love with baby Madeleine ♥

tuesday it is

Ha.

My endo case was rejected by my instructor. Okay, I grieved, but I just needed to look for another case rite?? Huh.

Seriously....

It's stilll March, and I quite get used to being rejected.. so what?

Ahh...



Can't pass any second without thinking about it!

Baby boy, will I ever get you in my hand???


so far can only dream~*

fill it yourself

Okayyy~~ I might be one kind of person who's soon hot and soon cold.. I change my mind faster than a blink of an eye. When I'm enthusiastic on something, I can bore whole world by talking about it at day or night. That is me, who apparently carry too much gemini gen in my blood, hehehe..

My mind is easily distracted, that's why I can never put something to priority. I rather pick which one my mood feels right at than which one is more urgent.

I love new thing, new experience, something challenging, unordinary, out of the box, not a mainstream idea..

Getting a DSLR is just one example.

I have already bored my sister (and maybe you, too!!) to death talking about getting a DSLR since last year. I keep talking, "I want a DSLR!" or "Yeah, gonna save my money for that!" or "Hey, I'm serious this time. I'll get one!" and yada yada yada... but up until this time I haven't got one in my hand!!

And do yo remember how excited I was talking about getting myself an OW license???

HAHAHAHA.

I know I should set up priority like select carefully what's important and what's not. There's FDI World Conference being held in Singapore at early Sept this year, and I think that's a 'gig' a dentist shall visit. Rather than spending hundred bucks on a camera, attending that congress and exhibition seems more worth paying no?

I hate picking hard and deal with guilty feeling!

Why one can just easily buy a Blackberry which is priced as expensive as my dreamy camera whereas one like me takes months to make decision, not included how long time I need to deal with the guilty feeling????

So. Not. Fair.

Why are my interests mostly not dental-related??

I want to go diving, travel a lot, sing a lot, take photograph, and etc etc.

Though, I still think oral surgeon is the job that suits my adventurous nature best.

I don't know whether I can still keep doing what I like rather than what I should in the future..

Okay... stop ranting about getting so confused.

I think I'll get it lah whatever.. but USD exchange rates has blown up the price so I'll wait till the price is more reasonable. And wait until I pass Cons clinic III so.. consider it as a present to myself, hehehe.. :P

I'm also thinking about buying it without Mum's knowing. She may just kill me or stop feeding me if she knows this.

impulsive buying or not??

I am soo much ragging for a DSLR!!!

And I think I've got a pretty good simple excuse to buy a camera:

My old Pentax camera is no longer usable.

If you read my previous Bali trip entry, the LCD was accidentally cracked while I was on cruise. Well, I still could push myself to use it, but it's already unconvenient as I can't view one third of the pictures and few indicators being displayed on LCD.
Plus, I need to be very very very still while taking pictures with it OR being under very very good lighting OR otherwise the pictures are blur, like I always complained. Under poor lighting, there are only two options: flash ON/OFF. With flash ON, I can get sharp pictures but they're mostly too white and some color details are gone. With flash OFF, every single super slight movement of the object or the camera itself can make the pictures become blurry!!! I'm really done with this. This sucks you knoww!!! I love taking pictures with neonboxes when I'm travelling abroad and to be able to do this ONLY at day is really pathetic!!! :(

Then why do I have to get a DSLR while I still can get those features I need in a high-end digital compact camera???




Because I'm bored to digicam!!!!

HAHAHAHA.

But seriously I am.
I want something new! I'm too used to digicam. I want to feel how it feels to be behind a single reflex lens camera. I want to feel how it feels to view my photo object thru viewfinder (nobody does that with digicam, they all use LCD!!). I want to feel how it feels to twist the lens ring. I want to feel how muchie muchie faster an SLR really is.

SLR's outcome pictures are way more vibrant and live than digicam's. I know it really depends on the man behind the gun camera, but still.. they are very different!! Even an amateur's eyes can distinguish between them!! Hehehe.



Only that an SLR is much more pricey than a super high-end digicam.. -____-

My mum would never ever understand this cos to her, this counts as an impulsive buying. Is it?? How do you think??

Well, I'm not going pro. I just want a new experience!
With that range of money I'm going to spend on a camera, I can buy a dental instrument sterilisator to fill my upcoming dental practice. :( But I don't think I'm going to open a private practice really soon..


HELP ME DECIDE!!!!!!


P.S.
I think I'm gonna buy it after I pass this semester Cons clinic III.. as present to myself.. :)

random

ULLZZAANGGG!!!

HAAHAHAHAHA~~

Highly photoshopped of course... but skin complexion is getting better so it doesn't need too much touch-up in computer.. ;)

Can you notice my shorter hair? In fact it doesn't curl that pretty. As it's loose so I need to tong it a bit to define the curls. I was going to photoshoot for my BDS certificate so I needed to be prettier. Unfortunately they can't photoshop my picture... Heheheh.

I look more mature with that hair yeah? :)

My sister told me that I looked mature when I wasn't laughing. Gahhhh..

P.S.
My eyes are fuckin small so it's not really an ulzzang though~ ;PP~~

new hair

I don't have mood for blogging, really.. like, nothing interesting happened in these few days.. But I shall blog or otherwise it dies hehehe.

Short update: I had my hair cropped last Saturday.
I bad goodbye to my long pretty messy locks and cut it until few cms below shoulder. Yeah, not that short but it's short enough. I hate my permed hair. Ooohh.. really miss my soft baby hair so bad. I wish the curls had gone forever with the cut.. but seemed that I got to wait for about 6 months to get rid of it.. :(( I think I'll keep my hair short until that time. Show ya the picture later when I'm already in the mood hehehe..

Clinic days suck. I want to graduate asap. And I have said this for gazillion times already, hahaha...

I think I'm reaching that point: school sucks!
Well.. I still love school (but not my current school!) and am still interested to advance my knowledge by taking further formal study. But all I really want now is to take a break! This ultimate boredom kills me so that I even don't have any motivation left to study or etc. I avoid textbooks etc and downloading Japanese magazine scans everyday instead. My life sucks yeah I know it.

I'm waiting for BDS graduation next month.. Well, at least I'm getting my BDS batch soon. Yay~~ :)

it is hot and my head is in pain

THIRTY SIX CELCIUS DEGREE!

It's uber HOT HOT HOT that I'm almost die everyday I'm driving home from school!!! I am dehydrating and suffering from headache and back neck pain in these few days. If only you knew how it felt like.. shit. Last night, I took Panadol pills four times, but it didn't help much. The pain was still there until now.

Insomniac!! Ha. How come? Already avoided napping but I still can hardly sleep at night. My eyes are swollen and have double or so eyebags. -__-"" I'm not stressed. Well, the real stressful life even hasn't begun yet, so why??

Just have taken my fifth pill, but I don't wish for a sleep now. I just want to relieve some pain.

My lappie is getting dumber and dumber like shit, looks like it needs memory upgrade ha.

Lancome Haul

Feeling guilty, but super happy also!! ;P

Still remember that I'd stop shopping and save my money instead? And that I'd stop hanging out in mall just so that I wouldn't get tempted to buy something?

Well.... well... well.. easy to say ha!

Yesterday, my promise was just like a promise.





As Sogo's celebrating its 10th anniversary, there was a 10% rebate for any purchase above IDR 500K. Because of some rebates we had earned before, we only needed to pay half of the actual price. What an excuse!!!


I said that I was gonna keep my money, rite??

Bullshit la. HAHAHA.

We only bought the three big tubes, facial sponges, and a mask brush. The rest was a set of Absolue products in bigger-than-usual sample size for complimentary!!! Aren't they generous? I love Lancome!

Besides if I bought it eight months later, the price might not be as cheap as now. I consider this as smart buy instead. ;P~

Lee Hom's New MV - Everything

I LIKEEEE..... ♥♥♥

However I think this is really stupid. One can't just disappear like that when fall into the water. Moreover, it's lake, not open water sea.

Welll... I wish I were that girl!!!! Just not the stupid version la~~ I can swim and I won't get drunk in the middle of water! Hehehe... :D

Do you know why Lee Hom stays single though many women are after him?? That's because we're destined together so he will only marry me!! HAHAHAHA. Only me know it. :D

back to school: day two

I hate hate hate to the coreee!!!

HEHEHE.. There's nothing more irritating than first few days of going back to school after long holiday :P

I should adjust my sleeping time to normal, than means go to bed no later than 10pm and wake up in the morning at 06am. Very difficult as my eyes were set to close after midnight during holiday..
Yeah, there's not many activities in clinic -first days, as I said- Each clinic begins with boring intro for few minutes and we have to wait until 12pm to go home though. Big waste of time! Can use that wasted time for nap, correct?! Ha. Very. Lazy. Student. Don't. Take. Example. From. Me.

LOL~~


It hasn't competely started but I already can't wait for this semester to end!! :D

I wish my travel plan goes well~ I'm saving up money! Yesterday I went to bank.. I never save money, my last visit to bank was like two years ago.. but I'm gonna build good habit since now on! I store all of money once I get it so that my purse is filled only by small notes. That way, I won't have chance to shop.

Also cutting out hanging out in mall, window-shopping, and spend my day with helping Mum's office accounting and playing Spider Solitaire at home! Hahaha.
My mum is the best, she's very generous! She offers me to help her. I know it's a child's obligation to help parents, but she gives me salary, too!!!

I. Can. Not. Resist. That. la of course....

I Love My Mum!!! I Love Money!!!


I can see that my saving balance is skyrocketing!!!! HAHAHAHA!!

uuhh... tempting!!

I SOOOOO WANTTTT THIISSSS!!!!!!!!

BESTA CD 668S

Aiyooo~~ super gorgeous!!!!

Beauty and performance are on the go! Click here for its features!

Anyone want to buy it for me?? Please. Don't. Hesitate.

Seriously, saving money is super duper difficult! But I'm planning a trip so must stick to it! Already got parents approval and they're willing to give me incentive, but I'm gonna shop like crazy there, so still need a lot of money LOL...
