Review Makarizo Hot Ice Mineral Oil

As promised before, I would like to reveal more about Makarizo Hot Ice Mineral Oil.

It is not called Hot Ice for no reason. The way it works is kinda unique because Makarizo Hot Ice Mineral Oil need to be frozen first and then melted with your palms. That's why it is called Hot Ice. And as I'd said before, this product could help to revive your gorgeous hair color :D

Okay you might think it's kinda tricky to use this product so I will write it down one by one to make sure that you won't miss any step :D

HOW TO USE

1. First of all, prepare a bowl of ice cubes and put Makarizo Hot Ice Mineral Oil inside.

You can also put it in the fridge before usage. When the contents are completely frozen, the color will change into lighter color.  It only took you less than 5 minutes to froze them.

2. After the content is completely frozen, melt it using your both palms.

3. Break through the bottle carefully with a towel.

4. Apply Makarizo Hot Ice Mineral Oil on damp hair and then start to pat your hair in a gentle movement. It helps the products absorbed into your hair cuticle. 

Pats.. pats

For people with short hair, do this once. 

For people with medium long hair, repeat twice. 

For people with long hair, repeat 3 times.

5. Let it sit for around 5-10 minutes before you rinse it with water. 

It's quite simple, right?

The texture is like an oil but not sticky at all. It also has a nice scent and left your hair silky smooth ^.^ I found it's really fun to the the pat my hair during the treatment. And if you have long thick hair, don't worry. It's more than enough to use only one bottle o.o My hair length has reached my waistline  (can be considered as super long now) and I only use 1 bottle. ^.^ 

And this is the results after I use Makarizo Hot Ice Mineral Oil..

The before picture was taken under a better light but the color are so dull but right after using Makarizo Hot Ice Mineral Oil, you can see that my hair color regained its shine and gorgeous color back *.* I am really amazed with the results. You can do this treatment any time at home. It's really easy to do with a great result that you can see by yourself now :D

Makarizo Hot Ice Mineral Oil are available in Makarizo salon. You can find more about this product on their social media.

Review Etude House CC Cream in Glow

Back with CC Cream review! I am so late with current beauty trends lol. Okay just blame my thesis hahaha. 

This products was sponsored from Etude House's previous event and let's see how good it is.

CC Cream stands for Correct and Care Cream with 8 benefits in one products. 

Anti Aging

Stress Relief

Hydration

Whitening

Sun Protection

Tone-Up

Smooth Texture

Luminosity

That's a lot.o.o From what I know, CC cream more into correcting your skin with skincare benefits which offer less coverage compared to her sister, BB Cream. Most of them offers silky smooth skin or glowy skin. Perhaps it is more into makeup base although some of CC Cream provides sheer coverage.  Etude House CC Cream comes in two different variant which is #1 Silky and #2 Glowy.

Mine is in #2 Glow. Kindly remind you that I was never get into glowy makeup look. So this is something new for me :D

Unlike BB Cream, it has pearly white color with tiny beads that will adjust with your skin color after you blend in. The texture is kinda thick but after you blend it, it feels really light. Note that you also need to work quickly with this CC Cream because it could easily dries. 

.. and freaking white on my hand because I put too much products. You can see that it creates a glowy layer that makes you skin appears more natural. Glowy makeup lover will totally love this :)

Learned from my past mistakes, I only put tiny amount on my face.

Seems not much different but it looks glowy in real life and also helps to even out my skin tone nicely. You can see around my nose and eye area. It become more even after I apply the CC Cream. Lesson learned! Do not put too much products unless you wanna be freaking white. It feels lighter and moisturizing compared to BB Cream.

It is also a nice base before you put on your BB Cream. I love to pair it together with Precious Mineral BB Cream. Looks really nice and natural. Since I haven't tried any CC Cream, I cannot do much comparation. Anyway, this one is worth for those who love glowy makeup look :) Seems like I started to love glowy makeup look now haha.

WHAT I LOVE

-Sleek packaging

- Natural results

- Lightweight
- Even out my skintone

WHAT I DON'T REALLY LOVE

- Nothing!

Nestle Fitnesse - 7 Days Update

Hello girls! Wanna update about the current 14 day challenge from Nestle Fitnesse :D In case if you forget, read about this challenge here.

It's been seven days since I tried to replace my meal with Nestle Fitnesse. For the first time, it feels really hard by only having Nestle Fitnesse for dinner, because I tend to have a complete meal for dinner. But after several days, I think I'm getting used to it so it is not a big problem anymore. Nestle Fitnesse tastes likes your childhood cornflakes. The difference is only it looks chunkier in piece, well probably like small pieces of 'emping' hehehe. And since it was made from whole grain, it keeps you full longer than before.

 I'm totally in love with Fitnesse Fruits because the dried fruits add more flavor in plain milk. In other side, Pat loves Fitnesse Original because he didn't like the dried fruits. I'm glad that Nestle Fitnesse come in different variant to suits people's taste.

 I think it's really good if you can do this challenge together with your family, friends, girlfriend/boyfriend because you can remind each other and also have more motivation in doing this challenge. Pat is really excited about this program and start to concern about his own health when I asked him to join this challenge.I also had asked some of my friend to do this challenge and they started to join in too. It's not bad to share about good things, right? ^.^

And these are 3 healthy tips from Nestle Fitnesse

1. Start your day by eating your breakfast with Nestle Fitnesse, low fat milk, and fruit.

2. Consume balanced meals and 1,5 liter of water everyday. Fruits or yoghurt can be your snack replacement.

3. Do some workouts for 30 minutes, 3 times in a week. 

1. Drink enough water and reduce sweets

You have to drink enough water no matter if you're on diet or not. My mom always packed a bottle of water and 'force' me to drink it since the bottle make my bag feels heavy so I have no choice. If you're bored with tired, then you can combine it with tea... but of course without sugar :) I love to drink tea especially green tea since it has lots of benefit and feels lighter than black tea. 

I know it's kinda hard to avoid the urge to drink soda or sweet beverages when the weather is hot especially in Jakarta. And I'm probably had the sweetest tooth ever and it's really hard to resist any sweet desserts, cakes,etc. Therefore, I always prepared a yogurt drink (plain yoghurt if it's possible) or fruits inside the fridge so I could handle my sweet tooth hahahaha. It could also refresh your mood from hot weather and moreover, it is healthy :)

2. Meal management
Yes you aren't wrong. Meal management just like time management. You can control the way you eat easier by doing a simple evaluation of what you eat. I try to do this trick by capturing the picture of my meal everyday, therefore I could easily see if I had eaten too much or not. You can easily control yourself by seeing those pictures. Remember that you are what you eat

You will judge me after seeing this picture but I only eat the greens and half of the chicken so I didn't cheat, okay? Try to put a little portion of vegetables in everything that you eat. It's better if you can avoid fried food too.

3. Workouts

Okay I bet this is the most difficult thing that we should do if we're doing a losing weight program. I don't know why, but this is not only me. Registering as a gym member might be a good choice since you will have many choices of workouts that suitable for you. But we could always do workouts anywhere. For example, you can simply walk. Either to the nearest bus stop or when you're going out to buy some stuff at the nearest minimarket. If you're a student, I bet you will have long time to spent walking in the college. When I was in college, I tend to walk a lot because we need to move into different building for the next class or even to buy food, going to the library, etc.

If you don't have time to do that, fine. You still could do simple exercise in your own room. Browse through youtube for tons of  exercise video. You only need t do it around 30 minutes everyday. Easy right? I was also trying to do this since I don't have time for gym or going anywhere. :D Try to find the suitable method for you and workouts! x)

Who said that diet is torturing?? :D Let's try this healthy challenge together!

I had lost around 1.5 kgs while Pat lost 4 kg already! Wow seriously amazing. I think this diet works perfectly on people with BMI over 23. Pat is 32 if you're wondering. :/ Pat and I are still continuing this challenge for 7 more days. Wish us luck then everyone!

Review Tony Moly Baby Doll Pot Concealer

Hello.. I think I've been stop buying makeup since my thesis started but I found this baby on Tony Moly store and they're having a big promotion only on September! Buy 1 get 1 free for the same products o.o lucky!

Anyway, I was tempted to buy another products. I have a very limited budget at the moment and decided to buy concealer together with Jesslyn.

Normally cost you $7 but it was only $3.5. Although when it was not on sale, it's quite cheap compared to the other from Korean Brand's store in Indonesia.

Fweegie convinced me that this concealer is really good even she stocked up for herself LOL.

So let's take a look

It come in a mini glass-pot packaging and a simple white plastic cap with Tony Moly logo written on it. Quite classy compared to other brand's that usually comes up with super cute packaging. However, it is not a good choice to bring it along in my makeup pouch since it's pretty bulky :(

I was actually not a fan of jar or pot packaging, but if it works then I would bear with it LOL. Moreover, the pot is quite small so I don't think that sticking your finger in is the best way to take it out. You can use a cotton bud or a spatula to take it out.

Super creamy consistency. This is the main reason why I bought it. *_*

Swatch

I got mine in #1 Light Beige and I think #2 Natural Beige fits me better. I was trying #2 tester and sadly they don't have #2 for the buy 1 get 1 promotion :'(

Results

It has a really nice consistency to work with and I suggest you to use a concealer brush to achieve a better result. It could cover my spots without cracking but noted that it will not work on bumps. It will only eventuate them more.

The reason why I rarely buy concealer is I don't find the one that good enough. Most of them are really pricey and killing my wallet. But if you're on a tight budget, I think this one is worth enough to try. Just make sure you match your shade.

WHAT I LOVE

- Affordable

-  Work well covering spots

WHAT I DON'T REALLY LOVE

- Bulk pot packaging

 I think I'm gonna purchase the shade #2 later.
