Baru aja ni anak gue yg kedua sebut saja si jeje jatoh dari sofa.



Jatoh dari belakangnya ituloh dari sandarannya jd lumayan lah setengah lebih paha orang dewasa, jadi dia lagi naik-naik ke si sofa terus duduk di pinggir sandaran sofa, si kaka datang, mau duduk di sofa yang sama, mundur-mundurlah doi, si jejenya gatau gimana lagi makan pisang, lg posisi kaya naik kuda gt di sandaran sofa, hilang keseimbangan, terjungkir lah dari belakang sofa, bibir duluan, bonyok, berdarah-darah dan tentu saja kejer-sekejer-kejernya


Kira-kira gini pose jatohnya


Mamaknya dimana?
Lagi di dapur baru selesai cuci piring, kejadian itu terjadi pas gue baru mau memasuki ruang tv, jatoh depan mata gue banget. Bukan, bukan depan bibir.

Panik ga?
Tentu sajah, di otak udah kepikiran banget macem-macem seperti buibu pada umumnya, free ongkir sopi yang cuma boleh satu kali sehari, cashback ovo 50% maksimal 10ribu rupiah gengsi bgt masnya nulis cashback Rp10.000, jemuran belum diangkat, jeans robek-robek yang tydac jadi kubeli-beli, dan lain-lain. Tapi Alhamdulillah sodara-sodara ternyata tidak apa-apa,




Si Pisang yang lumayan berperan.
Karena lagi makan pisang, sepertinya ya sepertinya, si giginya tuh ga langsung kena bibirnya, jd kaya ada buffernya jd ga sobek-sobek amat bak bungkus ciki yang abis di sobek emaknya buat dimakan anaknya-ya abaikan. Ya tetep lumayan sih darahnya berderai-derai bertisu-tisu, mana masih ngunyah pisang, untung ga keselek, Alhamdulillah (2).

Tersangka mana tersangka.
Si kaka, langsung kabur ke kamar, ngumpet di balik kasur. Takut. Padahal gue ga marah, tau aja mamaknya udah pengen nguamuk ngomel-ngomel membuat kericuhan kaya mbak-mbak lagi berantem di tengah jalan yang lagi macet, jambak-jambakan. Tapi tydac. Tapi pengen. Tapi tenang, aku sudah dewasa, aku tydac marah, aku tenang, hanya mengumpat dalam hati (ceritanya tidak mau menodai mentang-mentang baru ulang tahun petjah telor Rabu kemarin-gosah ditanya umur berapa nanti ngamuk beneran -_-).

Baik.
Ayo buk ditarik lagi napasnya, kalem.



Jadi, apa pelajaran yang bisa diambil dari pengalaman hari ini?
1. Jangan kasih makan pisang anaknya, apalagi buah simalakama nanti beda lagi ceritanya.
2. Ga usah cuci piring, cuci hati aja sering-sering ibadah, berserah diri pada Ilahi, Alhamdulillah (3)
3. Plak!
4. Ok, serius.

Agak kaget ga kaget sih yang jauh lebih mewek dari adenya yang bonyok adalah kakanya, si adenya dikompres es batu bibirnya sambil diiming-imingi 'cep cep cep gapapa ko gapapa besok ke mol lagi yaaa deeee cep cep cep' langsung diem sambil ngunyah es batu, padahal itu ibunya yg lagi alibi, jadi laporannya kan enak, 'mau ke mol lagi ni soalnya kan kasian si jeje kmaren udah dijanjiin'. Mantul.

Si kakanya dibalik kasur sesenggukan bibir bergetar-getar, marimar yang udah mau ngamuk mau ga mau jadi agak ga tega (red: males dramak lagi tangis2an dua bocah, ampun dije). Akhirnya yaudah, dialemin dulu, 'gapapa ko gapapaa, MAKANYA (nada tinggi) kalo mau apa-apa tu liat-liat dulu ya (kembali ke nada medium-rare), jangan kebiasaan ga liat-liat, mau jalan liat-liat, mau duduk liat-liat juga'. Bocahnya sih ya tentu saja masih sesenggukan ga karuan, heran.

Ternyata anak kecil itu sudah mulai mengenal banyak emosi ya pemirsah, selain laper sama pupup, udah bisa takut dimarahin, udah bisa merasa bersalah, udah bisa lain-lain juga, ayo udah bisa apalagi sebutkan dibawah. Disini penting sih peran orangtua untuk mengelola emosi si anak, pernah baca dimana gitu kalo seharusnya anak sudah diajarin cara mengenali dan mengelola emosi di umur segini. Mungkin sudah saatnya gue belajar juga mengenalkan emosi ke anak, eh tapi kan udah! buktinya kalo bocah-bocah rusuh itu minta mainan gw selalu bilang 'No. No. No, nanti aja mintanya sama papa ya!'. Eh sebentar, ini namanya pengenalan emosi apa pengalihan tanggung jawab ya? ya namanya juga usaha.

Situasi terkini.
Sekarang Alhamdulillah (4) anaknya udah pada teler dua-duanya, sepertinya lelah abis shooting telenovela -_- Udah ah mau nonton koreak aja lagi biar kalem. Gnite werld!







While desperately looking for a skincare that can handle my skin, I remember Elshe, I used their radiant glowing serum before and since it works on my face, I hope their acne treatment would like to do the same either. So without further ado, let's jump right in!

I choose the Elshe Acne Treatment Series (obviously) which contain;
1. Acne Cleansing Wash
2. Acne Refresh Toner
3. Daily Protection For Acne (Sunblock)
4. Acne Night Treatment


I started using it on 16th January 2020, I am cutting down all of my skincare before so I can just focus on this Elshe Treatment Series. My first impression was it feels very chemically but in a good way (at least for me) so I feel like my face is being treated in a good hand

Let's start with the cleanser and the toner, both of them contain salicylic acid as their main ingredients. The texture of this Acne Cleansing Wash is more likely like a gel type and a has a minimal foam after you mixed it with water, I'm using it twice a day (day and night), it has no scent and remind me of a typical 'beauty clinic' facial wash right away, it's drying a bit (I assume it's because of the SA), but still in the level that I can still tolerate. No complaint so far.



I don't have any expectations for the Acne Refresh Toner, but turn out it becomes the thing that I enjoy the most, I'm not a cotton pad person, cause the idea of scratching my face with cotton pad every day made me cringe (and yeah I know, I know, using a cotton pad will harm our environment also, but sorry, couldn't help it), but the instructions said so, so I pour the toner into a cotton pad and swipe it to my face in a round motion, at the area with acne I press it a bit longer, and immediately after I applied it, my face feels so refresh and smooth.


I'm also using it twice a day (day and night), it has a very light brown-ish color, has a little scent, that
I would describe it as a scent that naturally comes with the acid they're using, it is a very mild acid scent which I have no problem with. The only thing that I'll complain about the toner is the packaging, it has a push-top cap that whenever I pour it into the cotton pad, it will spill a lot more than what I need. both of the face wash and the toner have the same packaging, it works fine for the facial wash because of its thick consistency, but for the toner, I wish they can change a packaging into a more friendlier version for a liquid product.


For the sunblock or Daily Protection for Acne, I didn't feel so impressed with it, I mean it's an okay sunblock, it absorbed right away, didn't leave any white cast, and the finishing is matte, I think it is a good sunblock that maybe I will missing someday If I no longer use it. It contains salicylic acid also, perfect for preventing acne in the future, I used it two times a day; in the morning and re-applying again at the afternoon (I'm not using any facial wash to cleanse my face in the afternoon, I only use water, but if you're using makeup, then I suggest you cleanse your face with only first cleanser -cleansing balm, oil, gel or micellar water-, but you have to continue with the second cleanser if your first cleanser didn't emulsify perfectly or when you use micellar water to cleans your makeup).

Meanwhile, the Acne Night Treatment is pretty interesting, it combines AHA and BHA to treat acne, I never used the combination of both mixed in a night cream form, so I feel kinda intrigued when I first saw the ingredients list. It used lactic acid as the main AHA and some acid from fruits. I used it once a day at night time only. It also has a matte finish.



Oh, another thing that you should concern about is this acne night treatment has a decent amount of lactic acid which is 2.17%, AHA tends to increase skin sensitivity to the sun, so you have to use sunscreen every day to protect your face. Anyway, the percentage is not too low nor too high so I think it just enough for everyday exfoliation.

One thing that I noticed right after three days in my face-especially my neck area is I started to feels a bit itchy, no instruction said that you have to put any of this product to your neck tho, so yes my bad, in the next day I no longer applying it again to my neck, lesson learn.

One week update.

If you want to know about my previous break out story go click here







I'm not usually doing a review within only a week, normally I'll wait to minimal one month or after I finished a product then I considered reviewing it, but gurl this one worth a share. My acne did actually drying up at day-3, my acne on my right cheek is almost gone,  the inflamed is reduces after two days, and for the big sissy in my nose, it noticeably smaller only after three days, and it went away after 5 days, I just still need to deal with the hyperpigmentation next.

Even tho my acne is not completely vanished yet, I think for the most part is it still a really nice progress right after three months battling with acne and bumps all over my face, and because AHA used to speed up the skin regeneration so I have two acne that previously small now became a Lil bigger, I guess It going to dried up soon.





I also noticed that my face is slightly brighter and that being said I look forward to what does this acne treatment can do within a month, and how far my skin can take this acne treatment in a long run, cause obviously it a lot stronger than any regular Korean skincare that usually has a very mild formulation.

We'll catch up later after a month ;)


biar ga eneg :p



See the Part 1 if you want to know why I am ended up here.



The reason why I am being hiatus for about one year is simply because I am so busy doing nothing in my life, and I do Instagram more instead of blogging because need a lot of effort to write a blog post rather than scrolling through Instagram or posting about a Lil bit of life there, it's much simple and less effort. But somehow I am missing doing this blogging kind of thing so here I am! *long-medium post alert*

Enough for the rambling part, back to the Bio Beauty Lab review, actually, I already review about it at my Instagram account, but it's closed for public and only goes for 24 hours (Yaz lol), so I am trying to write it down here in this post.

So, it started in July 2019 I don't remember why but I had a break out on my face and then I used Bio Beauty Lab - Healing Oil which contains squalane, tea tree, tamanu, and many more, and yes, it is made for treating acne. Tea tree and tamanu itself are a well known natural ingredients that good for targeting acne and break out. The texture itself is like an oil, cause it's an oil, made by oil, duh. (tidak memberikan info sama sekali-alert).


Click for the ingredient list.


The healing oil is a kind of oil that leaves a greasy feeling behind and didn't absorb fast on my face. It smells like herbal oil, but still bearable for me. This is the type of acne treatment that not dried down the acne right away, it works by soothing any inflamed acne into less inflamed, it did the job, but taking so long to heal acne on my face. Another downside of this oil is because of its greasiness I can't use it in the morning, cause every time I put it in my morning routine, then my normal-to-dry face will become oily throughout the day, and that is not that appealing at all. So I just using it at night time because it's surely moisturizing enough even for night time use in cold weather.

At some point, after a few weeks, I feel that my acne is becoming more 'resistant', or maybe it is just the oil that already giving its maximum effort at my face, I feel like maybe it just stops working because nothing else that it could do, but it usually happen just after my acne is not inflamed again but just not 100% flat yet. So I started to use another Bio Beauty Lab series which is Luxurious oil that contains squalane, primrose oil, other oils and of course frankincense. Do you know that frankincense has a lot of benefits for the skin? (google aja ya lengkapnya, mager nulisin satu2 :p).

The Luxurious oil is a dry oil type, means it absorb pretty fast when you applied it to your face, the only downside that I found about this oil is it didn't give enough moisture at winter (musim ujan slash banjir di Jakarta) or if you sleep on a really cold room with air conditioner in it than you might need to applied an extra moisturizer.

And after a few days, here is where the magic begins.

I take this footage from my Instagram Stories on 12th September 2019.


Iya review elshe nya menyusul ya :p


So as you can see, it did a pretty good job at my left acne and help to flatten it, it didn't really work on my inflamed-red-acne, but it worked well on my little-but-not-too-inflamed type of acne and did contribute to my overall skin health at a not-so-long time, I can see a result at about one month or so.

I am a happy customer.



.................................................................................................................................................................



Actually, this post could just end here, happy end, but I like to add the current condition of my skin for my record.

So, after I found my face in a good and pretty stable condition, my curiosity finally killed the cat or in this case; my face (again), I tried new skincare but it backlashes me right away after a week.

This time I used retinoid, acid toner, lavender essential oil, even centella asiatica serum, but it seems like they just didn't work, they just decide to do nothing on my face.

Then I am coming back to use the Healing oil again, but I found out that it reaaalllyyyyy slow to work, I even mixed it with my retinoid to make it work fast, but nothing happen beside THEY JUST SIT THERE DOING NOTHING BUT INFLAMED AND NYUTNYUT not to mentioned about the Luxurious oil, I use it also in a hope that my face will be going to be better real soon but it practically gives nothing acc to my feeling. This time my face is in a really fired up condition, the worst break out I ever been through. and Bio Beauty seems didn't do any of its magic this time.

Cry.

Sowy, didn't take my right side





















Feels like I might throw a tantrum if it's still continued, I stop using any skincare for about three days, and guess what happened, my break out became much much much more worst, a lot of inflamed acne here and there on my left cheek, my right cheek becomes a new places for acne to hangout, my forehead, at my chin, and of course my nose -it is so bad until it looks like an bisul cause its that big, big enough to make my confident is on my lowest. cry (2).


Latest photos, 15th January 2020, all acne were inflamed, sigh.

So, I started using the healing oil again at night, this time I combined it with lavender essential oil for the spot treatment, and in the next morning I woke up at less inflamed acne oh yazz. Of course, they were still here and there, but it reduces the inflamed which is very very nice progress since the day before the acne was very inflamed and felt so angry like they're going to do war on my cheek. By the morning I used the luxurious oil for my face, and hope nothing but the best. I will update with you another hopefully-less-disturbing picture.

Well,

The conclusion is, it might that Healing and Luxurious Oil actually do its job. I don't know what happen before, but when I used them, my acne is kinda holding them back to grow wilder. Cause when I stopped it, suddenly it went crazy and all over the place. Yes, they work so slow but hey at least they're working enough to thoroughly healing and soothing my acne so it didn't flare up and throw a party on my face.

At least, that's what I feel ._.

Will update you guys when I feel like it after a week. wink :p




Boy, y' need to calm doowwn




Disclaimer: this post is should be up on 7 July 2019, but it looks like I forget it, I think letting this post sitting in my draft would be a waste, so here it is, the review of Bio Beauty Lab - Part 1. No photos cause I am such a lazy a**, pictures would be added soon, IF I feel like it.



After last lebaran holiday, my skin was became soo angry with me, didn't properly taking a good care of my skin was obviously a real bummer, there was active pimples here and there, a lot of little pimples (or we called bruntusan here at +62) at my forehead and my cheek, and later on it lead my face to a total mess, cry..

First thing I remembered was I changed my facial wash because I was running out of my usual face wash - Hadalabo Gokujyun Face Wash (click here for the review) to any face wash that I could find at minimarket. and it only took two weeks and a bit more to break out my face. and also-my bad- I feel so lazy to cleaned my face even after a long make-up day before, and then here I am.

To treat my active acne, I was used tretinoin aka retinoic acid (vitacid 0,025%), it dried my acne in the next day, but it stop there after 5 days or so, it just keep making the skin around my acne to dry and drier without even healing my real acne. so, I try to find another acne healing product all over internet and instagram, and then I remember Bio Beauty Lab, after I read a lot of good reviews about it, finally I convinced my self to ordered it.

I used it right away at the night I received it hoping for the best, and the next day my 2weeks acne that sitting right on my left cheek is calming down. That was sure looked like a great start. So I continued using it for 3 days straight, day and night. But then, I see a new pimple on my right cheek, it's red and hurt but the next day it was calmed down by her self like it is really sooth her overnight.

So I used it again in the morning in day 4, then the big-red-hurt acne showing up (again) in the next day, so I got 2 new acnes since I am using it. I wondered, is it because the face oil, is it because it contains essential oils, that some people believe is a triggered for a sensitive skin (?)

Then I remembered the day I used the face oil, this time I used my toner that contain a galactomyces before, the toner that even myself have always questioning about. Because when ever I used it -after a long break-, I always had a big red acne the next day. But nevertheless I keep using it anyway, ha ha -_-

So I stopped the toner, and because I am not willing to give up on this oil, I continued to use it in the next day.

BUT THE THIRD BIG ACNE WAS SHOWED UP AGAIN. Oh boy.



I really didn't want to give up on this oil, so I suspected my face wash, instead of using my regular Hadalabo, I used Clean and Clear facial wash that contain salicylic acid at the night. I think that this one is the triggered, so at day 5, I stop it and keep my routine simple; wash my face with my one and only Hadalabo, and then I applied the oil and that's it.

As much as I enjoyed the minimal skincare routine for my face, actually I missed my longer routine very much, but for the sake of the curiosity and a hope, I hold my self to put another skincare and give it a go for another round, another week, another month.


And I finally see the light of hope of this oil. uwu.




[TO BE CONTINUED ON PART 2] 






Actually I like the idea of it (where it can SUPER STAY on your lips for 16hours), but yeah, I gotta say there's something I don't like about this lip 'ink'.

So,

I chose the shade no. 15 (Lover) at the very beginning, I didn't have a glance to swatch it in real life cause the tester at the counter apparently empty -like my soul-. So I bought it based on the swatches at the internet, and when I tried it (of course after I paid for it) it turned  out that I didn't like the colour! Sad.

Based on the swatches I saw, it should be a beautiful pink-mauve colour, but in real life it is a mauve with a strong hint of muted purple and didn't match with my warm yellow based fair to medium (nc 25-30) skin tone. That's why you really can't rely on the swatches on the net, I knew it but always kinda trap for it. Lyfe~

Then, karena gw anaknya sepenasaran itu I bought another two, shade no. 65 (Seductress) and no. 10 (Dreamer). And thank God I like it! It suits me better.

What I don't really like about this super stay is it kinda tacky for my lips, even after a few hours of usage, I still can fell the tackiness, tho I must say because the colour is luvv, then ya gw maklumin (maklumin juga soalnya ya gw udah beli HAHAHA).

The Seductress suits my lips well, it has a nude-brownish colour but not to brown, but it is brown. HAHAHA. I don't know how to describe it but yeah I got a swatches for you!

From top to bottom 65, 10, 15

Intinya ni si seductress ini jd kaya mlbb colour gt but turn out ini slightly kurang pink d gw, too brown-ish. Soo untuk nge-reduce si brown-nya I added the number 10 - Lover.

Lover on my lips looks too pale! Sigh. It is a pale bright pink that too bright for my skintone. But I mix it up abit with Seductrees and voila, daily mlbb colour that doesn't easily fade-out on my lips. Purrfeectt ❤️.




This lip-ink itself isn't the lightest lip colour that I have try, frankly said it is not the most comfortable lip colour ever, tapi ya ini emang salah satu lip-colour yg ter SUPER STAY sih, once it set on your lips it doesn't budge nor go anywhere.

Yes it gotta super stay on your lips until 16 hours or even more, but with a few conditions~

The first one is how to apply it,
Put a light layer on your lips, jangan dikatupkan (((katup))), ya jangan disatuin dulu bibirnya pokoknya, kl gw abis satu layer tipis, langsung diratain pake jari. Kl udah nge-set JANGAN DITAMBAH LAGI (nge-gas) nanti jadi jelek asli.

Kalo mau campur dua warna, langsung apply satu layer, lanjut layer warna lain baru diratain. Then you all set.

The second of all, JANGAN MAKAN, I repeat, JANGAN MAKAN :))))

This lip colour indeed gotta super stay on your lips but you aren't allowed to eat. Apalagi yang berminyak. Once you eat oily food then bye it's gone.

Jeleknya, bubarnya tuh di tengahnya aja, di inner lipsnya aja, di outernya masih ada, kebayang ga si, mana ngapusnya susah, dilayer ngegumpal. Die.

Ini shade 15. Grepes~

Atau kalo mau pake ini pas acara makan2, pertama makesure lo bawa remover :))) atau ya pake ke acara makan syantik aja. Jangan yg barbar kaya nasi padang atau seblak. Bubar udah.

You can remove it easily with oil based make up remover, kl cuma pake yg semacam micellar water then you have to go a few rounds to make it move from your lips.

Borahae~



***The end***




Oh btw I end up using no. 10 the Dreamer as a blushed on top of foundation/bb/cc cream, kl pake base dulu apusnya ga susah ko, beda kl bare skin kaya si emblot.



Ga ilang2 dua hari udah digosok pake sabun juga. Akhirnya rontok sama baby oil. I still don't know what to do with 15. Maybe I'll found out later~










Karena kebanyakan tidur siang, dan bingung mau ngapain, so here you go, another empties: Biore Cleansing Oil.

Waktu pertama nyobain tu penasaran sih karena banyak yg review bagus dan harganya yg dibawah 100k ya hayuk atuhlah dicoba.

Cleansing oil ini bahan utamanya Mineral oil, nah ini. Efektif sih angkat makeup, foundation, sunscreen, dan makeup makeup lainnya.

TAPI, kalo untuk apus makeup mata, PEDIH BEB. Maka karena itu, kl pake mascara, mending pake makeup remover khusus mata deh asli.


Another pros, wanginya enak, me likey, hustle free juga, ga rempong buka tutup jar kaya kalo pake cleansing balm (I'm an avid fan of cleansing balm btw), tinggal di cuss cuss (apeuu ._.) aja di tutupnya nnti produknya keluar, trus yaitu, ga ribet harus tutup tutup lagi.

Oh, Biore ini juga tipe cleansing oil yang emulsify, penting nih, jd abis oles oles pijet pijet di muka, kasih air sedikit nanti dia berubah tekstur dari oil ke milky, abis itu langsung basuh air langsung deh ilang cleansing oilnya, jgn lupa lanjut sama second cleanser yg water based aka facial wash ya.

Well, untuk harga di bawah 100k menurut gw worth to try sih cleansing oil ini, ASAL ga dipake di mata ya.

Udah gitu aja. Review yg garing, iya emang, sesungguhnya lagi ga mood cuman kaya bingung mau ngapain.

Cheers








Gw lg gatel bgt ni mau komen, gw baru aja buka instastory salah satu so-called influencer dan dia lg baru dpt produk dr satu brand lipstik (sebut saja B), awalnya gw pikir 'ih lucu amat ni packaging nya' I even imagined I might want to buy it someday. But then I saw the shades and the name of the shades itself, HAHAHA. Then I laughed so f***** hard.

Warna2 shades nya dan lebih lg nama shadesnya sama bgt sama salah satu Brand yg duluan udah lama (Brand A). Bahkan sih si brand B ini udah banyak jg yg ngomongin di forum2 dan komunitas kl dia emang copycat ke banyak brand2 lokal d indonesia yg lain dan especially si Brand A, mulai dari shades, sampe campaignnya di Instagram feed dan bahkan modelnya pun mirip2 sama si Brand A, then dia ngeluarin lg produk yg mirip sama brand tetangganya jg, sebut aja brand C dengan ide dan produknya yg kurang lebih 11-12 sama si brand C. Well yeah, it happened. Copycat does exist.

Sebagai netijen pengamat, ngeliat ini ya agak geli geli gatel emosi juga sik.

Kenapa bikin emosik.
Ya karena brand yg merasa lebih dulu ngeluarin warna dan nama shadesnya udah mikirin si produk tsb dengan segala konsep yg matang, dengan berbagai story di belakangnya, sedangkan si copycat just walked away with the ideas and still make some money from it.

Like heyyyyyyy gw udah mikiir weeeyy cape cappeeee ko lo enak bgt si tinggal modifikasi ide gw dikit trus lo jual dan make it yourr ideaa, like hheellll-oooo. What the f*** on earth did you think man like serioulsy come on you better kiddin me or somethin!

But hey!



Why does copycat exist.
We were born as a copycat actually, kita belajar jalan, belajar ngomong, belajar baca, belajar masak, belajar bikin kue, belajar naik mobil, belajar belanja, belajar bikin baju, dan sebagainya ya dengan kita meniru.

Kita, sadar ga sadar suka ga suka dari kecil tu kerjaannya ya NIRU. Kita meniru, copying someone yg bigger than us, someone yg bisa kita look-up-to, someone yg keliatan keren, cool, cantik, baik, pinter, sukses. Kita tuh pada dasarnya ya copycat jugaa pulgosooooo.

When it comes to the brand
Pernah liat kan tas tas chanel atau gucci yg pastinya banyak yg jual dengan harga setengahnya, sepersepuluhnya, bahkan sepersejutanya. THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED GURRLL.

Positifnya
Berarti si brand yg di look up to sama si Brand brand copycat ini dianggap udah berhasil dong, udah sukses create something yg ada pasarnya.
Dan karena udah naturenya people dan karena lebih mudah jg (dari segi ide), maka si brand ini pun membuat copy-an dengan sedikit modifikasi and they sell it and yeah easy money comes to mama.

Yang kaya gini ada yg beli? Ada banget! Makanya tanah abang masih ruammee buangeett, ya karena ada pasarnya.

Ibu ibu pasti paham sih, beda seribu aja pindah penjual apalagi beda 500rb.

Jd sebenernya ya, at the end ini masalah etis ga etis aja sih. Sah sah aja kl mau stole the idea of someone and make it yours (karena ga ada larangannya nya jg kecuali lo copy sesuatu yg udah ada copy right nya), smua udh ada rejekinya masing-masing juga. Tinggal gmn the OG nya bisa bertahan menghadapi gempuran pasar kaya gini, karena ya kualitasnya si copycat ini juga ga yg jelek juga, they're good tho, they just lack of ideas.

Something that somehow I totally can understand, but yeah, it getting back to you at the end.

Getting back kemana pun I tak paham, I ngantuk. Udah gitu aja.

...


Nothing in this world yang yg 100% original juga sebenernya. Rambut, gaya make up, cara berpakaian, bahkan cara berpikir gw, in a way or another pasti ngikutin salah satu org yg pernah gw liat juga.

So yeah, nothing new in this world babe.

...

Trus intinya apaan sik ni tulisan~
Namanya juga random drpd gabisa tidur.



Yaudah.
Gitu aja.


Masih dalam rangka nyari serum untuk treat hyperpigmentation d kulit gw, about three months ago I finally decided to buy votre peau vitamin c serum.

Vit c is a well-known bgt ya di dunia kesehatan dan kecantikan. Vit c sebagai antioksidan jg terkenal mendukung efek dari sunscreen memberikan perlindungan paripurna dr sinar jahat uva dan uvb loh. Cie promosi. So I give it a shot!

After three-four months finally I finished off this serum, so I can finally reassure about my feeling about this 🍊.

Well, actually.. 

I have a mix feeling about this serum. I didn't see any improvement in my overall skintone, tappppiiiii bekas jerawat yg masih baru relatif lebih cpt ilang sih, kayanya sebulanan gt udah memudar, please do take a note ya bukan d bekas jrawat korban pemencetan dgn paksa ya, kl itu, dan gw ada dua bekas jrawat yg gw pencetin dengan paksa (literally paksa soalnya gw tusuk pake jarum pentul - anaknya barbar) dan dgn suksesnya inflamasi, merah meradang, dan bekasnya kaya yaudah will see you like in forever, entah kapan ilangnya, laser I count on you, wink.



I used it eerrdaayyy every morning right after I cleaned my face followed with alpha arbutin from the ordinary and then sunscreen.

It glided easily on my face, have a slightly citrussy scent, and absorbed real fast, another plus point, it didn't cause any breakout on ma face, and it didn't make my face dry even more (normal to dry ☝️).

Well, votre peau, you will be missed.
I enjoyed using you but I have an adventurer slash kepo head, so I currently searching into another vit c serum.
.....


I bought it at Votre peau clinic at Plaza Indonesia at 395k, regret it later cause I can get it much much much more cheaper online. Sigh the perks of ga sabar sabar club.

Warning: this post contain curcol mamak mamak tengah malem.


Ini judulnya udah mewakili perasaan sayah kayanya πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚.
Anywaaayyy, anak gw yg kdua sbntar lg mau ulangtahun yg kedua. Sebagai mamak pekerja dengan penghasilan alhamdulillah 'cukup' cukup bikin setres kalau udah tengah bulan (:, dengan pengeluaran 'tak terhingga' harus puter otak dong ni kl mau kasih kado.

Mau ga dikasih ko ya kasian, mau ngasih ko ya kesian juga (ksian sama saldo :))) ). Tapi ya ga lah ya kan cuma setahun sekali boleh dong disisihin sdkit pgeluaran buat nyenengin bocah yang sebenernya belum ngerti-ngerti amat juga :)))))

Jadi, pilihan kadonya tu buanyak buanget gaeess. Harganya juga beragam dari yang murah sampe tentu saja muahhaall. Setelah menilik-nilik akhirnya pilihanpun jatuh pada : Lego.

Kenapa lego? Soalnya si kakak waktu umur setahun pernah dikadoin lego (sponsored by teman-teman terkasih) dan sampe sekarang which is udah sekitar 2.5 tahunan tu mainan masih awet aja, masih ada wujudnya (penting), masih kokoh, masih 'klek' (semoga pahamπŸ˜…), ya intinya awet lah walaupun banyak piece nya yg entah kemana, tp dibanding mainan lain yg harganya jauh lebih murah ini masih lebih okelah, masih sering dimainin juga sementara yg lain udah hanya Tuhan yg tau kayanya ada dimana πŸ˜….

Harganya? Nah. Tau lah ya buibu lego ga murah. Gw ngincer satu set yg harga di tokonya tu around 500. Wah auto garuk garuk ni ga rela, tp sbg mamak yg idealis dalam mencari diskonan ya puter otak lah ya, catet kode legonya, kebetulan gw maunya lego duplo 10853.

Nah cari deh tu di ecommerce, cari di shopee, tokopedia, blibli, buka lapak dan teman2nya.

Ga usah emosi liat diskon ala ala pekerja kantoran ngadepin hari senin kaya gini alias ogah-ogahan. Walau dalam hati mengutuk INI DISKON APA MAU NGASIH PAK OGAH SIK? DISKON KO CUMAN RP111




Dengan kesabaran tak terhingga cari lagi...
Kebetulan pilihan gw jatuh di shopee, jgn lupa cari harga termurah, tp cek cek review2 sbelumnya untuk tau barangnya palsu atau ga jangan lupa cek bisa free ongkir ga (penting 😢). Jangan lupa cashbacknya, pake koin shopee nya yg udh sgaja gw kumpulin jauh jauh hari jd bisa dpt diskon lg deh. Jd udah terencana bgt ni pembelian berminggu2.

Udah pede bisa dpt around 300an. Happy❤️.
Pas mau cekout...





.......... 😭😭😭.

Oke. Fine. Bhay.



Moral of the story: lebih baik nyesel beli daripada nyesel ga beli 😢
**Pantesan gw ga kaya kaya ......


By now I'm pretty sure that almost alot of you guys must've been heard about sun protector/sun shield/sunscreen/sunblock.

First of all, lo pasti udah pada tau kan soal SPF, atau malah udah bosen dengernya? Actually, me too πŸ˜‚

Tau juga kan kl SPF itu stands for Sun Protection Factor, singkatnya, contoh; spf 30 means sunscreen ini melindungi kulit lo 30x lebih kuat dari efek buruk sinar matahari vs lo yang kluar ruangan ga pake sunscreen sama sekali, tanpa merujuk kepada waktu.

Hmmm, kenapa ga merujuk pada waktu? Well, intensitas cahaya matahari atau biasa disebut UV index berbeda-beda di setiap waktunya, UV index pada pagi hari biasanya lebih rendah dibanding dengan UV index pada siang hari bolong. Ketika jam menunjukan pukul 12-1 siang misalnya UV indexnya biasanya menunjukan angka 11 (ekstrim). That's why ga dianjurkan sama sekali untuk keluar ruangan pada jam-jam tsb tanpa perlindungan dari sinar matahari.

But here it is, spf itu hanya mengukur seberapa kuat kulit lo terlindungi dari intensitas efek buruk UVB, inget ya hanya UVB.

Nah, people nowadays terlalu sibuk merhatiin berapa spf yg harus mereka pake, but hey! they forget about the UVA. Including meπŸ˜‚.

Padahal justru UVA itu yang berbahaya, it can cause you early aging sign, hyperpigmention, wrinkles, fine lines, age spot, dark spot, and even skin cancer.

UVA has a wavelength longer than UVB, UVA bisa menembus melewati awan, dan bahkan jendela rumah (itu makanya knapa lo harus ttp pake sunscreen even itu mendung atau cuma beraktivitas di dalam rumah seharian).

Unlike UVB, UVA itu unmeasurable, artinya ga kaya UVB yg kita bisa tau pasti kapan kulit kita terbakar dan merah2, UVA ga langsung membuat lo jd kena dark spot atau wrinkles, it takes time. Pelan tp pasti. Makanya penting cari sunscreen yg tertulis PA+ selain SPF di kemasannya. Semakin panjang tanda + dibelakang PA itu berarti semakin kuat juga protection si sunscreen itu terhadap UVA (ex; spf30 PA+++)

Atau, pilih sunscreen yg tertulis broad spectrum/full spectrum. Biasanya sih ini ada di mineral/physical sunscreen dan tentu saja sunscreen jenis ini melindungi kita dari UVA dan UVB.

So, remember guys, choose sunscreen with spf, PA, and/or broad spectrum in it. Then you good to go!



Udah kepanjangan ya, pantesan, lelah akutu πŸ˜‚.

Lanjut part 2 aja ya about how to choose a good sunscreen and why.

Kl ga males πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚



Yang udah pernah k dokter atau klinik kecantikan pasti familiar sama hydroquinone, powerfull yet so 'risky' skin bleaching agent. Biasanya dicampur sama tretinoin (untuk treat jrawat) plus steroid untuk redam inflamasinya (dimana not good ya untuk longterm krn efek reboundnya sungguh sangat terkenal sekali).

(Not here to talk about the after effect of hq and steroid you can always google it, it's everywhere.)

Anyway, buat yg udah lelah sama harganya klinik kecantikan trus mau beralih ke skincare otc (over the counter) alias yg bisa gampang dibeli di toko2 atau olshop kesayangan anda trus gugling2 alternatifnya pasti familiar sama salah satu ingredient ini : arbutin.

Arbutin di pasaran itu setau gw ada 2jenis, alpha arbutin dan beta arbutin. Yg lebih bagus sih katanya si alpha arbutin ini karena ya molekulnya yg lebih kecil atau gmn gt sehingga lebih bekerja ke dalam dan lebih bekerja dari si versi beta, btw kl cuma d tulis arbutin aja ini artinya ini beta arbutin ya.

Disebut2 sebagai alternatif aman dari hidroquinone karena cara kerjanya yg 'hampir' sama dgn si hq ini. Yaitu dengan mencegah enzim tyrosinase membentuk melanin (pigmen kulit) ke permukaan sehingga wajah jd lebih cring cring dgn minimum bahkan no efek samping like hydroquinone does.

Nah, salah satu skincare affordable yg mengusung alpha arbutin jd bahan utamanya itu adalah the ordinary.

Nah gw cobain kan ni, ngarep.
Sengaruh itu ga? Apa bener si alpha arbutin ini bisa memberikan hasil kaya pake hq but in a safer way?




Well, setelah sebulan pemakaian. Here's my though.

Unfortunately I have to disagree about the claim. Menurut gw si alpha arbutin ini ga seampuh hq untuk memutihkan kulit in term of powerfulness nya ya. Hq bisa bekerja dgn sangat cepat membuat kulitlo cerah bahkan dalam waktu beberapa minggu pemakaian aja. 

Kl alpha arbutin ini, ga.

Mungkin dia bekerja dgn cara yg sama seperti hq tp menurut gw cara kerjanya lambat bgt dan ga powerfull sama sekali untill I have to say that I don't see any improvement in my skin so far. Bit bitter huh. Sad.

Keep in mind ya kl hq itu tidak direkomendasikan jangka panjang dan tanpa pengawasan dokter. Jd hati-hati.
Alpha arbutin ttp jd alternatif sih, paling ga kulit gw progressnya ga menurun. Tp ya itu aja udah. Ga menurun ._.

As long as I really want it to work, it didn't gave any satisfaction result so far.

Maybe I just need to give it a try for the next 3 months sambil minum yakult sama babang kavinsky.




I'll update later. Maybe.
