[Beauty]: Make Over Hydrastay Smooth Lip Whip

: Make Over Hydrastay Smooth Lip Whip Wednesday, April 28, 2021

Hello beautiful people, Today I'm back with an exciting post about the latest lip product launch by Make Over which is their Hydrastay Smooth Lip Whip. It's not without reason they called it "Lip Whip", its because the product itself has a similar texture to the yummy whip cream we love to top off our drinks with. The product is said to feel like whip cream which is soft and smooth on the lips. In this post I'll share my review on this new Lip Whip by Make Over and let's start the discussion. In this post I'll share on the three lip whip which I received from their 12 beautiful color options.

Especially during this Ramadan season where mostly those who take part practice fasting which can be very drying for the lips thus this new lip whip can be a good option for you to try. Without further ado, let's dial in more on this product now.

Texture & Formula

The reason why I say this product would be the best lip product for this Ramadan season is because it has a very unique formula and texture that is formulated to not highlight any dry lines and patches on the lips. Which makes it the perfect lip product now as those who are fasting can't drink so they'll tend to have dry and chapped lips easier however due to the Hydra - matte smooth formula in the lip whip will stay comfortable on the lips without drying out the lips even more. Hydrastay Smooth Lip Whip comes in a Velvet Blurry Finish and has Intense Colorstorm Pigments.

The smooth velvet texture is comfortable on the lips and upon application its so smooth and soft as if its a whip cream. Its also designed for dry lips with deep hydrating active that helps to smoothen cracky lips with its healthy matte finish. The color also seem to show intensely even from the first glide.

I'm wearing C07 Soiree, its my fav from all the three shades that I received. It simply brighten up my whole complexion. Love everything about this lip whip.

Swatches

Here are the swatches of the new Make Over Hydrastay Smooth Lip Whip of the three shades that I received. Which of the three is your favorite? my personal favorite would be C07 Soiree cause I'm a big fan of peachy hues.

Make Over Hydrastay Smooth Lip Whip comes with 12 multi hued wearable shades

C01 Grace (medium pink), C02 Ballad (dark pinkish purple), C03 Poetic (warm pink), C04 Real (true bold redl), C05 Swift (warm red), C06 Lively (bright peach), C07 Soiree (medium peach), C08 Devoted (dark orange, brick red), C09 Admire (medium orange), C10 Vow (warm nude orange), C11 Suave (neutral brownl), dan C12 Detail (dark brownish red).

Packaging

I do like the packaging design which is very simple and minimalist with the classic dove black container and also a lip wand applicator which makes it even more easy and convenient to apply the product since you can control the application and the amount of products you want to use. At the back of the jar you'll find the hint of the colors or shades of the lip whip as well as the shade's code, so you easily differentiate the colors.

Now let's talk about the most important matter; price. Overall Make Over's pricing has always been very wallet friendly. This new Hydrastay Smooth Lip Whip cost for Rp105.000. Go get it now at Make Over's webstore, counters or your favorite market place. For more info and promos, keep check of Make Over's social media pages:

Beauty Wednesday, February 19, 2020

Barry M is a British Cult Cosmetic brand that has recently adds color to the cosmetic or beauty industry in Indonesia. Have you heard of this brand before? If not it’s a brand you’ll want to give it a try to since they have a lot of decorative makeup and cosmetics that are worth trying out. The brand, Barry Mero started out in 1982 and is known to be a brand that is high in quality, cruelty free, 100% Vegetarian at an affordable price. Although they’ve started out ages ago but they’re continuing to improve and innovate to create products that are up to date to the latest trend and style.

In this post I'll be sharing about Barry M's Eyeshadow palette which is Meteor Storm, Fall in Love and Deluxe Metals. When I first tried out the products I have no expectations over them cause I've not tried any Barry M's product before however after trying them out I'm blown! They have amazing pigmentation and formula for their eyeshadow and each palette consists of colors that are so versatile that you can easily play around with to create different look from casual day out to glam makeup look. Are you ready for the swatches? Make sure to stick to the end of this post cause I've got them all covered for you here.

Review

Overall I think these new Eyeshadow palette from Barry M is worth trying because they have amazing pigmentation and color pay off which even in a single glide you can already see the colors. They are pretty handy to carry while traveling too since they are not too bulky in size however they come in a cardboard packaging with a magnetic case, I worry that it might accidentally open if placed in a makeup pouch full of other products. Each palette also comes with a variation of colors from matte to shimmery glitters combination which would be perfect to play around while creating different eyeshadow look. Meteor Shower palette is the most unique of all with it hologram shades which caught my attention from the very beginning. It contain 8 shades that are all very pigmented and beautiful. Fall in Love palette consist 10 matte colors without any shimmery glittery colors but they come with vivid lively colors that would make a great mix too for your eye makeup. Deluxe Metals palette consist of mainly 10 glittery shades which are more neutral in warm brown shades, perfect for everyday wear.

In terms of formula they have a buttery creamy texture which makes it easier to blend. Although they may have a strong color pigmentation but don't worry you can always blend it off to make it look more natural. My favorite palette would go to Meteor Storm cause they have that chameleon hologram color that is so beautiful and just add a pop on my eye makeup. How about you which is your favorite palette?

[Event + Review]: Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear

Beauty Sunday, August 11, 2019

Hello beautiful people, I hope this post finds you well. Remember the Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear event I attended a few months back? Now I'm back with a few mini event throwback as well as a whole review on this favorite foundation from Lancome. After hearing and reading tons of positive feedback about this product I'm happy to try it myself now :) Are you curious? Make sure to read till the end.

Would you invest on this new foundation? Wait before you decide let's read through this post, maybe it'll help you decide :) This new Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear has 17 shades which are quite a wide varieties for foundation thus a perfect shade right to cater for everyone. Including local Indonesian skin tone which tend to be more exotic, warm and dark. As usual the event started with greetings from both the representative of Beauty Journal as well as Lancome. Afterwards its the makeup demo time where we're taught how to apply Lancome product in the most effective way, learnt some new insight too about a better way to apply makeup.

Overall we had a blast at the event! After a short makeup workshop we had a game session where we're all divided into group of 5 and we have to finish different stages and sections of game at all the different installation sections at their Lancome booth. Guess what? We won it ! Thank you to my team for the awesome team work, it was fun !

Yeah our team won the game on the event

Review

Now let's move on the most anticipated part of this post, its review time :) After all the hype I'm really having a high expectation on this foundation from Lancome. Do you think it's gonna be a hit or a miss? Actually I've tried the Lancome Teint Miracle Foundation before and I'm completely sold for that one because it has a sheer texture and blends in smoothly on my skin giving a healthy dewy finish with a medium coverage kind of result. However this new Teint Idole Ultra Wear is said to be 24h full matte coverage, which makes me wonder and worry if it might be too matte and crack on my skin. Let's find out shall we?

Texture & Formula

Shocking but true their texture is quite light and can be easily blend off. They also glides on smoothly on the skin leaving a flawless and weightless complexion. The formula is able to control sebum thus making sure the makeup stays on since they are 24 h full matte coverage. The coverage is buildable and is considered medium to high. However the best part which I'm impressed is that even though they're matte but they don't crease and crack easily. They set on the skin leaving it looking flawless throughout the day. At first I was a bit skeptical since I'm not a fan of matte foundation finish since I prefer dewy wet look kind of makeup but this foundation do give a natural finish that makes my skin look healthy and fresh too.

The shade I'm wearing is 011 which is the fairest shade

Verdict
So the question comes down to is it worth it to splurge on this Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear foundation? speaking from the position of a makeup enthusiast I would say this foundation is great! It does according to its claim and doesn't feel heavy or cakey on the skin even though they have quite impressive coverage. In terms of pricing Lancome is considered as a high end brand but in terms of quality they're amazing too, thus remember the saying you get what you buy. This Lancome foundation has a quality that doesn't lie, no wonder everyone loves it.

If you've tried it before, let me know what do you think about this Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear foundation. Would love to read your comment on it :) You can find and purchase your perfect foundation shade at Lancome counter at department stores or online at Sephora ID. Thank you for reading!
