[REVIEW] EOS Lip Balm Spring Edition

Wohoo!!! Finally after waiting 2 months in line for these limited edition lipbalm from EOS the finally arrived on my door! 

Boom! Arrived save n sound thanks zatura shop u da bomb!

The description~

It's 100% natural and 95% organic....when i knew this i was like..."nuff said...shut up and take my money!" I'm a sucker for natural and organic stuff :3 I feel more saver using natural n organic skin care n make up

 

I tried the passion fruit first because....well it's the reason i bought it! Limited edition flavour baby!(yeah i'm a sucker for limited edition too...)

So the review:

The balm....feels great... It's very different from all the balm i've used, it didn't have that oily and sticky kinda feely u know? I feel...moist that's all... I like it!

I wasn't expecting any difference at all when i took the pics but there actually are! Hey my lips actually looks better in the bottom pic!(after using the balm)

 The smell is nice and it's not too strong, and when i accidentally lick my lips, i didn't taste a very fruity flavoyr, just a hint of sweetness which is nice...and again very different from other lip balms which has strong scent and flavour, which is comparable to candies...-_-

The design is also so very cute! And easy to use :3

Well this is my first time using this balm and i like it already! I hope these balm can help my dry lips O:)

Anybody had tried this too? 

[REVIEW] Babyliss Pro Mira-Curl

Hey there!

So this is a short review and tutorial for the Hottest Curling Iron(or maybe machine) Babyliss Pro Mira-Curl!!! I totally LOVE this baby man! 

So cool, no more burnt by curling iron, no more sore arms from holding the curl too long, no more being carefull when curling hair ah I LOVE THIS! 

Thank you soo much to my mom's friend for this :D thx aunty Grace! 

Review: it's super easy to use, it took a while for the machine to heat up though so be patient :) there are 3 level for heat low-medium-high whichi i love, usually for heating i go straight to high then middle just so it heat up faster and my hair is not too hot

And there are settings for styilng hair based on the texture,

375* setting 1 for fine hair

410* setting 2 for normal hair

45o* setting 3 for thick hair

by using those settings then it'll be quicker to heat the curl  

i made a short video for my instagram review but  can't upload it here :( you can check it on my instagram @jacq_tanoto if you want :D follow me and i'll follow you back! ^^

 and here are some screen shots that i took from the video :D

So to use the Mira-Curl:

1. we have to make sure that our hair is not tangled, so really comb it until all the hair is untangled, or else your hair could get tangled inside the machine...and u don't want that....it hurts...trust me

2. we have to wait for the red light at the handle stop flashing, that's the time for the machine to heat up

3. take a little part of your hair and put it between the machine with the hot circle facing inside

4. wait for 5 beeps and voila!!! A gorgeous curls, just like how the pro made them! 

FAKE ETUDE HOUSE BB CREAM ALERT!

Hi guys, i was checking some posts in instagram and i realized that lately, there have been a lot of online shops selling a fake bb cream from etude house:

This is NOT a product from Etude House it's fake, the back has a lot of korean words too but i can guarantee this is fake, don't believe me?

That is the real product that the culprit took the design from, it's from It's Skin brand from korea NOT Etude House

Still don't believe me? Here are the screen capture from Etude House Official Website the KOREAN version so there is no excuse like "Oh maybe the product is not yet updated" pfft!! please.... 

Can u find it?

Of course you can't, cuz that product is FAKE

Nobody except god and the culprit knows what that bb cream is made from, usually when someone decided to just use a famous brand for their fake cosmetic, rather than using their own brand and sign it up to BPOM, is because they want their product to sell by claiming it's from famous brand but usually the ingredients is most definitely dangerous, and or illegal, it could make your face got serious problem even skin cancer! 

Please spread this post so people will know! One share could save a million skin! You can also repost my post from instagram @jacq_tanoto so more people knows!

[REVIEW] Gak Cantik Bakery's 3 Flavored Cookies

Hello~

Today i want to write a review for @gakcantikbakery 's 3 flavoured "Putri Salju" cookies!

It's almost ramadhan so people will definitely stock up for some cookies, and this new bakery have a lot of unique cakes and cookies you won't find anywhere else! 

I tried the 3 flavoured Snow Princess Cookies which have a very unique concept, the original flavour is called Elsa,the snow queen, the nutella(yes,nutella! How awesome is that???) is Malificent, and the Green Tea is....? Yep, you guessed it! The Wicked Witch of The West! Sooo cute!

BUT! cuteness is not enough to satisfy my belly... Now let me give some of my opinion for this cookies.

 Taraaaaaa~

The meaning of gak cantik is "not pretty" so this bakery is litterally called "the not pretty bakery" their motto is: "don't judge a cake by it's cover" lol

 This is Malificent,the nutella flavour the cookie's texture is so crispy, very different from the normal putri salju i'm very surprised and amused, i can't really taste the nutella though, but i like it~ Chocolatey cookies is always yummy to me~

This is Elsa~ the original flavour, it's a bit too sweet, not buttery like the way my mama used to make it, as i am not a sweet tooth person, this is my least favorite of all...sorry Elsa...i have to....let you go... ;)

And my favourite is Elphie...A.K.A The Wicked Witch of The West, A.K.A the Green Tea Flavour but sadly i didn't yook the photo....because i realize that i already finished it...stupid me....the Wicked Witch of The West i reeaaalllyyy good, not too sweet and i can taste the green tea flavour :3 super yummy! I wonder if i can order with only the Wicked Witch of The West? 

Bottom line: i reccomend this! this is a very unique putri salju, the flavour is unique and yummy~ it's very crispy unlike the usual, but it's good! :D 

The only thing i don't like is the sugar icing,which is too much,too sweet and sticky... So i have scrape a lot of the sugar first to enjoy the cookies :(

I definitely want to buy this cookies again :3 the cookies n cakes from @gakcantikbakery are very unique and yummy, they have a skippy layer cakes, beef floss nastar, etc! Just check their instagram! Their cookies n cakes can be an exciting new variation for ramadhan snacks :D or any other occasion~

Ooh! Speaking of instagram! Did you guys have instagram? Kindly follow me at @jacq_tanoto ;) i will follow you back ;D

[REVIEW and Tutorial] Cosmos Lipstick and Natural Make Up Tutorial inspired by Romeo Eun with Victoria Secret's Give Me Glam Makeup Kit

Hello!

I promised to make a tutorial for the natural make up that I learned from Mr.Romeo Eun from the Laneige make over event that I wrote about a few months ago remember? This one : http://jacqtanoto.blogspot.com/2014/03/makeover-park-shin-hyes-look-laneige.html?m=

Now let's start shall we?

Today i decided to use my Victoria Secret's Give Me Glam Makeup Kit

This baby has 30 shades of eyeshadows and 5 shades of lipstick and lipglosses, 4 blushes a powder, highliter and a bronzer, applicator for eye shadow,powder,lipstick, a mascara,eyeliner pencil,lip liner

And I also use this new Cosmos lipstick that i got from @vie_andiksu 

I got the no.1 innocent shade

The lipstick is very smooth and the color is also pigmented~

Now i have like 3 nude shades that I usally use,the etoinette lipstick from etude and the etude house's rosy lip tint, I thought that the colors will be similar but apprently they're not hehehe

Etude's etoinette is a bit more pinkish, and etude's rosy lip tint is more reddish while the cosmos's innocent lipstick is a brownish nude

Now let's start the tutorial ;)

Apply the foundation or base of your choice, ini here i use the Too Cool For School BB Cream, then blend it to you face evenly

Then apply shading and eyebrow pencil like in these pictures

For the shading put it on your lower cheek bone and your nose like in the pic, then put on your blush on your apple cheek

Don't forget to blend it ;)

For the eyebrow, use your pencil to mark the spot to draw your eyebrows like in the left picture,draw a line from your nose through the tip of your outer eyes,and the end of your eyebrow then make a dot, then make another dot in the middle of your eyebrow,slightly on the top of the other dot, and finally the inner of your eyebrows

Next step,put your eyeliner in your inner of eye lid

Yep, put it in your inner lid to make your eyes bigger but not visible in your eyelid when you close your eyes

The put on mascara to add more live to you lr eyes

Then i put on some natural eyeshadows from the pallete and here are the colors that i used

And finally: 

Put on lipstick to your lips and powder to all over your face and you're finished!

Here's a picture with a better lighting

This look is a perfect look for daily make up, it's very fresh and easy too!

I hope my explanation is clear, if anybody want to ask something please leave a comment below ;)

Thank you Mr.Romeo Eun for sharing his knowledge with me!

[REVIEW] Glamglow Youthmud Mask

Hello!

Last night i tried the super popular mask from Glamglow, and yeah...i'm one of the many people who is impressed...let's get started!

I believe most of you had known about this mask, they said a lot of holywood celebrity always use this before they go on screen so they will have a healthy glowing and flawless looking skin...hmmm...i wasn't sure so i decided to try it

This is my face after washing sorry the lighting is bad,but as you can (maybe) see my pores are visible, and trust me in reality it's super visible, i also have a very oily t-zone and cheek and black heads tok!

So i tried the mask

My camera is not focus when i took it's a little blurry,sorry

I only use tiny amounts of the product(because...it's expensive y'know) the box also said that it's fine to use only tiny amount of the product~

When i used it i feel a sting all over my face...i had acnes so maybe that's why...

 

So here's the ingredients:

-French Sea Clay: Absorbs impurities and toxic substances, while leaving essential natural oils and minimizing pore size. 
-Volcanic Pumice Rock: Multi-level surface exfoliation that you control to clear dead skin cells, smoothing out fine lines and softening skin texture. 
-Green Tea Leaf Pieces: GLAMGLOW® groundbreaking patent pending TEAOXI™ technology delivers fresh Super-Squalene, EGCG super antioxidants, and Polypenols directly into the mud from the real pieces of tea leaf. 

Aqua (Water), Montmorillonite (Volcanic Minerals), Kaolin (French Sea Clay), Magnesium Aluminum Silicate (Purified Clay), Polyethylene, Pumice (Micro Volcanic Rock), Camellia Sinensis Leaf (Green Tea Leaf), Camellia Oleifera Leaf Extract (Green Tea), Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract (Chamomile), Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract (Marigold), Cucumis Sativus Fruit Extract (Cucumber), Hedara Helix Extract (Ivy), Symphytum Officinale Leaf Extract (Comfrey Herb), Lavandula Hybrida Oil (Lavender), Glycerin (Vegetable), Parfum, [Benzyl Benzoate, Hexyl Cinnamal, Limonene, Linalool], Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Caprylyl Glycol, Hexylene Glycol, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone.

It's vegan guys!!! Yay i love vegan products...they're usually more saver to our skin :3

The texture of the mask is very watery, kinda rough like a scrub and it also dried very quickly

The smell is very nice,very fresh! It's like  green tea~

See all those holes? Those are my pores... And those black thingies? Don't worry that's not a booger hahahhaah that's the green tea leaves

I leave it for 20minute-ish because i was re-watching How I Met Your Mother in my laptop, they way the mask dried is different from the claymasks that i've tried...this mask feels really tight!

After that i wash my face with warm mater while using the rest of the mask as a scrub...it feels really good i like a rough scrub :3

And ta-dah!!!(don't mind my mismatched eyebrows i had a little accident when trimming them)

Okay so... My face looks a little more brighter, definitely feels n looks cleaner, most of my black heads are gone,my huge pimple popped and feels very bouncy like a baby's skin it's a very good mask...not miraculous but a very good one~ this is my first time using it and who knows if i kept on using it there will be an amazing result? Buuuttt as i still has my dead sea clay mask i'll keep this mask for later use though

Oh and this is me littlerally just woken up a few minutes ago:

Super bad lighting...but i'm impressed though, usually when i woke up my t-zone is always super oily,but this morning when i woke up i feel a lot less oil in my t-zone it's still kinda oily but not too much it feels dewy

Okay i'm so gonna use this again after i finishes my dead sea mask! For now i'll jus focus on 1 mask so my face is not confused hahaha~

[REVIEW] Dead Sea Treasure Mud Mask

Hello! It has been months since my last post...dear god i feel like such a lazy ass person -_- i had a lot of new stuff that i wanted to review but kept on delaying...because of shows and my thesis (god i hope it'll over soon,wish me luck!)

Anyway! Today i want to do a review about my new facial mask! It's Treasure's Dead Sea's Facial Mud Mask, it is used for tightening your pores, treat your acnes and reduce your oil, totally perfect for people with oily skin and acne proned skin

I got it from my friend, it's brought back straight from Jerusalem

Here's the ingredient:

The mask :

Kinda yelowish green, the smell is minty and fresh and..woody idk it's different fron the usual fragrant i know, it's kinda middle east-ish smell though, remind me of my at turkey their fragrance is kinda similar :D

I'm wearing the mask as i'm writing this post btw 

The moment i applied the mask i can feel the cool sensation from the mask it lasted until around 10 minutes, untill the mask is dry

10 minutes-ish later~ (ew acnes! T_T i've been using too many make ups and have been too lazy to clean n take care of my face lately...this is what i get for being lazy *sob*)

After the mask became stiff and the cool sensation is gone, it's time to wash it :3

Hmm not bad...my face feel smoother, the pores are still there, but ofcourse, for pores we need to do a routine facial treatment and my acnes are also feel...calmer?they didn't hurt when i touch it and they also became stiff, as if i could just pop them away(which i won't)

And it also feel soooo fresh!!!! Now i can sleep peacefully :3 i'm going to use this once a week and i'll give u updates for my acnes and pores treatment with this product! Stay tuned! ;D
