korea October 21, 2021

Say goodbye to acne with Tea Tree Biome dari Mediheal! I'm pretty sure everyone knows the brand Mediheal right? Mediheal adalah brand dari Korea yang terkenal banget for their sheet mask products. Nah kali ini mereka meluncurkan produk skincare pertama mereka yaitu Tea Tree Biome yang mengandung tiga powerful ingredients sekaligus untuk melawan jerawat yaitu Tea Tree, Centella Asiatica, dan Microbiome. Rangkaian skincare pertama dari Mediheal ini cocok untuk acne fighters/kamu yang kulitnya berjerawat atau sensitif. Selain untuk merawat dan melawan kulit jerawat, produk terbaru ini juga memperkuat skin barrier which means menjaga kulit tetap sehat dan maintain kesehatan kulit.

Oh iya kenapa dibilang tiga power trio elements? karena ketiga bahan ini bener-bener ajaib dan sangat dibutuhkan oleh kulit kita yang sensitif atau berjerawat. Tea Tree membantu mengurangi dan menghilangkan jerawat, Centella Asiatica memberikan efek menenangkan kulit, dan Microbiome membantu menjaga ketahanan skin barrier kulit kita. Mediheal Tea Tree Biome Blemish Cica Series mempunyai ZERO harmful ingredients dan eco friendly. Kalau bahan tea tree ini sudah sering dipakai di produk-produk skincare karena memang terbukti mampu menenangkan kulit, sudah ada lebih dari 500 thesis yang membuktikannya. Mediheal mengambil organic tea tree dari kota Goheung, provinsi Jeollanam-do. Dan dengan gabungan tea tree serta microbiome, skincare terbaru dari mediheal ini gak cuman menenangkan but also gives healthier looking skin! Aku dapat 2 produk dari rangkaian skincare Tea Tree Biome Blemish Cica Series yaitu Tea Tree Biome Blemish Cica Toner dan Tea Tree Blemish Cica Cream.

Tea Tree Biome Blemish Cica Toner mengandung Tea Tree Biome yang bikin soothing menenangkan kulit kita instantly, PHA mildly removes keratin untuk memperhalus kulit, mengencangkan pori-pori untuk meningkatkan penyerapan pelembab, dan Centella Asiatica Extract yang mengandung asiaticoside, asam Asiatic, asam Madecassic, yang dapat membantu menenangkan kerusakan kulit yang teriritasi dan melindungi dari faktor lingkungan berbahaya lainnya. Untuk tekstur toner ini cair tapi gak terlalu cair, just perfect. Toner ini membantu mengurangi minyak berlebih pada muka dan membantu keseimbangan kulit dengan sub-acidic toner of pH 5.5.
Tea Tree Blemish Cica Cream adalah krim pelembab & menyegarkan yang diformulasikan dengan ekstrak daun pohon teh & lumut penny Asiatic ekstrak. Selain mengandung tea tree, krim pelembab ini juga mempunyai 5 tipe hyaluronic acid dan Centella Asiatica yang di ekstrasi dari bahan utama mereka which helps soothe damaged and irritated skin, serta mengontrol excess sebum yang berlebihan dan melindungi kulit dari faktor lingkungan yang berbahaya. Untuk teksturnya seperti krim pada umumnya tapi dengan efek cooling dingin ketika di aplikasikan di kulit.

Pas banget aku lagi ada timbul beberapa jerawat karena PMS, ada di pipi dan di dagu T-T. Dan aku sudah mencoba produk ini selama seminggu, jerawatnya memudar dan kemerahannya juga hilang! super soothing banget sih ketika di apply di muka aku saat jerawat. Untuk teksur toner nya sangat ringan dan formula nya jg mild jadi cocok banget untuk kulit sensitif kayak aku. But what I like the most is their Tea Tree Blemish Cica Cream!! Gila, sekali pakai di muka berasa super adem, cooling sensation dan soothing banget. Kulit kemerahan aku langsung mereda dan jerawatku juga memudar. In terms of price menurut aku sangat affordable. Tea Tree Biome Blemish Cica Toner Rp. 279.000 dan Tea Tree Blemish Cica Cream Rp. 319.000, dengan kualitas dan brand Mediheal menurut aku super worth to try kalau kalian punya masalah dengan jerawat.

[EVENT] NATURE PLAYGROUND WITH KIEHL'S

calendula oil September 12, 2018

My inner child has emerged from within as I attended Kiehl's event at Grand Indonesia. They have set up a cute playful nature playground for everyone to hop in and play while learning about Kiehl's products. To be honest, this is probably one of the best educational interactive event ever! Unlike other event where they only hold a talkshow, Kiehl's make it into another level. They built an orange slide filled with colorful balls also known as 'mandi bola' where we can play and toss around with our friends. Kiehl's is a skincare brand from New York that is established in 1851, it was a pharmacy store at first before they changed it. The founders of Kiehl's loves creating and inventing skin and hair treatments using natural ingredients that has many good properties in it and mixing it with chemical active ingredients. Now Kiehl's has plenty of best seller products that contains at least 1 main natural ingredient starting from cleanser, toner, moisturiser, mask, and serum. that is personalised for the people of New York. Kiehls has been one of my go-to skincare products too, I even bought their travel kit when I went to Japan. Their products are quite pricey though, which limits me from buying it too much. I use the products little by little as I don't want it to finish so soon (read: which means I need to buy another one!). With the price they set, it is worth it since all the ingredients they used are from the finest quality. You can be assured that their products will work amazingly on your skin.

Talking about Nature's Playground, it is basically a playground filled with Kiehl's heritage; the natural ingredients that they used for each and every one of their products like Calendula, Lavender, Vitamin C from Orange, Succulent, and others. In Nature's Playground, it is divided into 5 stations according to ingredients. They have Lavender Swing, Orange Slide, etc. We can learn more about each of Kiehl's product as well as its ingredients as each station has a 'guide' who will tell us about the product and the ingredients in it. Not to mention, after we play interactive games at each station we will get free samples! Kiehls believes in the "Try Before You Buy" philosophy, which is why the customers are encouraged to try the product first and make sure that it is the right choice for them before making a purchase.

I personally love the skin check station, here a certified skin specialist will come and check your skin using some skin checker. It is so easy and only takes few minutes. All you have to do is press the skin checker against your forehead and cheek for 10 seconds and you will see the results immediately! To find out your skin condition, they have a chart to classify each types. Luckily mine was still in normal condition! I really enjoyed exploring Kiehl's Nature Playground and I encouraged you guys to come and visit it too with your squad! I'm pretty sure all of you will enjoy it as much as I do, plus with all the free samples they give. You can find this playground at Grand Indonesia just outside of Central Department Store.

[BEAUTY] ORGANIC SKINCARE WITH SKIN DEWI

calendula soothing gel April 22, 2018

Halo semua! Lama tak berjumpa, aku baru saja balik dari liburan aku dan i'm so excited to tell you good review about this particular brand which I have been using this past month. The product is sponsored but I always give honest review that is why I'm writing about it now when I have received the product since last February. Skin Dewi merupakan brand lokal dari Indonesia yang memproduksi skincare organic! Dari namanya udah ketebak dong jadi mereka hanya menggunakan bahan alami natural yang tidak akan membahayakan kulit kita. Skin Dewi menghadirkan kualitas produk dengan performa yang baik, terbuat dengan bahan-bahan bersetifikat, and pastinya animal cruelty free. Skin Dewi sangat memperhatikan kesehatan kulit muka kita, jadi dia tidak sembarang kirim produk mereka untuk kita coba. Tetapi mereka memberi kita beberapa pertanyaan yang harus dijawab sehingga mereka tau kebutuhan kulit muka kita apa. Dari tingkat minyak, kondisi kulit, punya jenis jerawat yang merah atau beruntusan, hingga tujuan utama kita menggunakan skincare. Ini baru namanya benar-benar ingin membantu kita, bukan hanya sekedar menjual.

I have a combination skin, my nose area will become very oily after few hours with makeup on so aku bener bener cari yang bisa calm my oil and also redness around my nose area. Ms. Dewi dari Skin Dewi kemudian memberi aku Hazelnut Cleansing Milk yang membantu melawan minyak berlebih pada kulit muka sekaligus memperbaiki lapisan kulit yang rusak dan Calendula Soothing Gel untuk membantu meredakan kemerahan pada area hidung aku.
Hazelnut Cleansing Milk works like a gentle giant, combatting oily-skin issues effectively whilst nurturing and repairing the damaged mantle.
What it is formulated to do:
The first step to restoring an acne-free skin, Hazelnut Cleansing Milk simultaneously purifies clogged pores of impurities, wash away the daily stress of pollution and dirt, soothe angry blemishes, all whilst maintaining a creamy, nourishing, non-drying formula. A revitalising concoction of omega-rich oils – jojoba, hazelnut and castor – is combined with a powerful blend of bacteria-killing, blemish-fighting essential oils to detoxify pores, clear acnes, and recondition damaged skin. Witch Hazel helps shrink the appearance of pores. The result: Your best looking skin yet.

Jadi aku gunain Hazelnut Cleansing Milk ini sebagai pengganti facial cleanser aku selama sebulan, disini aku merasa kalau kulit aku menjadi lebih less oily and jadi sedikit kering. This means that the product really works, bagian hidung aku menjadi gak minyakan lagi walaupun beberapa area aku sempat menjadi sedikit kering karena aslinya memang ga minyakan hanya pada bagian hidung saja. Tetapi semua itu bisa aku atasi dengan mengapply moisturizer pada bagian yang membutuhkan setelah mencuci muka, jadi muka aku tetap moisturise. Ini salah satu best seller mereka dan selalu sold out tiap bulan, banyak juga yang repurchase lebih dari 3x untuk produk ini loh. I myself bakal beli produk ini for sure!!

Calendula soothing gel is a watery gel like emulsion combining both nourishing oils and extracts to work synergistically to calm irritated and inflamed skin, that absorbs into the skin very quickly.
What it is formulated to do: It is effective as both hydration for oily skin or as an essence to be layered on with moisturizer for drier skin which might require more moisturisation.
This powerful formula has been found to work extremely well for people who are white-head prone or oily acne type of skin.
Mungkin kalau dari foto tidak terlalu kelihatan, tetapi area kulit hidung aku sangat merah dan cenderung agak gelap dibandingkan bagian lainnya. Mungkin karena komedo, mungkin juga karena iritasi. Calendula soothing gel ini bantu membuat area hidung aku menjadi less red dan calm setelah pemakaian. Aku pun juga mengapply ini di beberapa bagian yang menurut aku perlu. Aku suka banget sama Calendula soothing gel ini karena bau nya harum gak kayak bau obat gitu dan juga dipakai dimuka rasanya enak dan lembut gitu.

Produk produk Skin Dewi bisa kalian beli di Ranch Market Pondok Indah atau website online mereka di www.skindewi.com
IMPORTANT INFO NIH GENGS: SKIN DEWI LAGI ADAIN MINI WORKSHOP LHO! Dari workshop toner, makeup remover, sampai bikin mineral eyeshadow pun ada. Workshop ini berlangsung dari April hingga May dan kalian bakal dapat special price by joining minimal 4 kelas.

[BEAUTY] MY HOLY GRAIL: SNAIL WHITE

beauty April 13, 2018

Hello loves, I am back with another review but this time it’s going to be Thailand skincare product!! Have you guys heard about Snail White before? It’s a very popular product in Thailand; I myself have purchased it once before when I went there. You will see banners about this product literally everywhere you go in Thailand, even in airports this product will be displayed in front of every drugstore. (SOCIOLLA HAS BROUGHT THIS PRODUCT TO INDONESIA, SO YOU CAN PURCHASE IT DIRECTLY HERE: WWW.SOCIOLLA.COM AND YOU CAN USE MY CODE 'SBNLA6YE' TO GET 50.000 OFF!)

NAMULIFE SNAILWHITE products contain Snail Secretion Filtrate from Helix enriched with an intensive collagen and elastin which gives skin restoration, helps resist aging problem, dark spots, redness and increases the skin’s elasticity for a brighter younger and firmer looking skin.
I am going to write a review about one of their SnailWhite products that is NAMU LIFE SNAILWHITE DAY CREAM; it is an intensive cream for day time formulated with snail secretion filtrate and butterfly bush extract which help restore and protect our skin. I bought it from my friends that went to Thailand. It has SPF 20 PA+++ and an all-in- one complete skin protector from UVA, UVB, infrared and blue light (tv, laptop, mobile screen) that causes dull skin, dark spots, and premature wrinkles. It restores skin to naturally healthy complexion and immediately brightens your skin tone. The packaging design is totally hygienic too! It comes in a tiny glass bottle along with a cute pink and white colored box, which for me looks so pretty! It has a pump and vacuum cap container to keep the cream clean, away from all the dust around.

Direction: For best application, pump the cream; place it on your fingers, gently pat onto skin. Apply every morning on thoroughly cleansed face and neck for a smoother, firmer, bright and healthy skin. This product is suitable for oily and combination skins.

I have used one of their products before and it really does work like magic! You can feel your skin becomes more moist and supple immediately after use. It comes off with a white thick creamy cream with a really sweet smell. It blends well with my skin; you can see that there is no trace of it. I usually take 1.5-2 pumps for my face and neck. The amounts of pumps depend on your face and neck, just remember to apply evenly! After using it on my face, I can feel that it's quickly absorbing into my skin and leaving my skin with a moisturized feeling.

I really like the design of the product and the smell. It is easy to apply also since they use a pump method. I can feel that my skin is becoming vibrant, even my sister was like asking "what did you use? Your skin looks so clean and fresh". It restores radiance, clarity and suppleness of my skin.

I do have some cons about this product but that’s only because of the packaging design; I couldn’t see how much I have left! Since the product is only available in Thailand, I need to know how much remains, as I want to prepare for my next purchase. Luckily now sociolla.com has brought NAMU LIFE SNAILWHITE to Indonesia! I can easily purchase it via sociolla now with just a tiny bit of clicking and writing down my address and whualah, the product will arrive at your doorstep in no time!

[REVIEW] W.LAB White Holic Quick Whitening Cream

beauty September 22, 2017

Hi loves, I am back from my Europe trip and it was almost suu-mmer over there. It felt like summer though, with the sun gracefully flaring its ray. That was my first time visiting Europe therefore I didn't know that it would be as hot as here in Indonesia. I didn't pack any sun protection lotions which resulted in my face being roasted under the heating sun. My skin face becomes awfully red, uneven, not to mention, darker. I was literally crying on the inside every time I see my face in the mirror. I have to put on bb cream or foundation every time I go out because my forehead is twice darker than the other parts of my face! This has became a routine until one day, W.LAB White Holic Quick Whitening Cream showed up. I immediately knew that I needed it.

As most of you know, W.LAB is a rising brand that many popular girl groups and actresses preferred in Korea. And this is not the first time I tried W.LAB product, I have tried their Sebum Out Peel Off Pack last month. I got this product from CHARIS and you can buy it here: https://hicharis.net/cathysie/1uS (p.s. the original price is Rp.384167, but if you buy from my shop the price is reduced to Rp.244332 only! + free shipping!).

My first impression is that their packaging is really adorable with all the dots around the product. It comes in a squeeze-type product. So all you need to do is squeeze the product and it will come out according to how strong you squeeze. When you squeeze, a white milky liquid comes out from the product. The white milky liquid has a very light texture so it is not greasy at all.

The product main ingredient is Oryza Sativa (rice) Bran Extract which has a great whitening effectI never try any skincare product on my face directly, I always try it on my hand first because I have to see first whether the product goes well with my skin and that it doesn't cause my skin to irritate.

Therefore, I applied the product on my hand first. Since it has a very light texture it was easy to blend. With just a few finger rubbing, it gets absorbed into the skin like a light lotion. I tried it on half of my hand for you to see the difference.

Can you see the difference? Half of my hand is whiter than the other! My skin becomes brighter by one to two shade! This product even has shimmery finish so your skin will glow like those Korean celebrities that has a healthy glowing skin. Not only polishes your skin, W.LAB White Holic Quick Whitening Cream is also awesomely moisturising. Your skin will feel moisturise immediately after you use the product. I am so amazed with W.LAB White Holic Quick Whitening Cream, and I truly recommend this product for those who are looking for an immediate result and want a whiter skin.
