my daily office make up

Well i think i should review a little bit about grooming here..Even i'm not a make up artist but i've been took make up course in some make up school. I just wanna share my daily office make up. (ya..ya..so not important.. ;p ) Maybe this can help girls who totally clueless about basic make up.

Let's start with knowing your skin type. This is very important because u should pick a right products based on ur skin type. My skin face is normal with oily combination on my T-zone. I have no problem with pimples but have problem with big pores around my nose, which i hate so much because black head easily come up on my nose area.

First thing to be done everyday twice a day is cleansing stage, u have to keep ur face clean and health.

Cleansing stage :
1. i use milky make up remover, dab it into 5 areas and then blend it gently with light massage all over my face. (try to lift up ur face while massage). and then i wipe it with cotton and make sure no milk left on my face

2. i use face wash (u can use anything, i use acne from mentholatum). rinse ur face and dry it well with towel.

3. i use toner, put an amount on cotton and dab it onto ur face (don't wiped it). It helps to make ur pores smaller.

This is me without make up (and still not use working suits)

Next stage is wear ur make up base, some might not really important for u, so u can skip it..it's just my routine.

Make up Base :

1. Put eye cream around my eyes(this helps to reduce wrinkle and dark circle, use it twice a day)i use Vitamin e eye cream from Body shop.
2. Put moisturizer, sunblock, primer (to keep ur make up long lasting, i use pore primer to keep my pore smooth and less oily) and then use liquid foundation for natural look.(in this case i use Blemish balm cream which already content moisturizer, sunblock, and foundation).if u're in a rush BB cream is a good solution.
3. use eyeshadow base on ur eyelid and a concealer around ur eyes to cover dark circle and puffy eyes.(if u have one)

Here is some of my make up base. BB cream by Moistlabo, pore primer by Kaito, eyeshadow base by Canmake Tokyo and eye concealer by Sana. (but u can use any brand)


Make up stage :
1. use light eyeshadow on ur eyelid, blend it to all ur eyelid.(if u have monolid, u can blend it wider).
2. Use face powder with face brush to keep ur face look natural, i use palgantong theatrical powder (if u have oily skin, please use face powder instead of pact)
2. use liquid eyeliner to frame ur eyes. (u can use pencil if u're not used to). start from inside (near nose) and pull the line outside until the end of your eye line. u can make it longer if u like but don't too much
3. curl ur eyelash with eyelash curler, (if u have straight eyelash, but if u already have curl eyelash no need to do it.
4. cover ur eyelash with waterproof mascara (i used maybelline volume express) use it both on ur upper lash and under eyelash.
5. To help u look fresh, u can use blush on, u can pick any color that suits u, since my skin is yellow and a bit tanned i prefer revlon glamorous blush on -soft spoken pink.
6. Use color lip gloss rather than lipstick, this will makes u look more natural (i use tea rose lip gloss from maybelline)

Finishing touch stage :
1. curl ur hair using hair iron
2. correct ur make up with powder and cotton bud

This is me after make up and change into office suits.

I hope this natural daily make up can help u..it only took 10 minutes for make up..and 15 minutes to curl my hair.. but hey..u can just pony tail it.. :)

cheers..

Casis Restaurant

Hi.. Today i would like to write foods thing. (i should write this since long time ago..i'm a food lover!!). Actually i went to this restaurant 5 months ago. But guess i still remember how the food taste.. :).

Casis Restaurant is a luxury French Restaurant. it's located in Pavilion Apartement, Jl. K.H Mas Mansyur Kav.24 (next to Sudirman Walk). U will need to dress proper here,i dunno if there's a dress code here but i see all of them wear formal suits. Foods are pricey here, but it's worth it coz it's taste great!!. I order Black Lobster (i forget what's the name since it's france) it cost around IDR 500.000/portion. But it's big portion so one is enough. i prefer soup for appetizer (find the cheapest one for sure) and a lemon tea for drink.Lobster are really delicious it have soft texture and the sauce absorbs well on it.

yep,me n my lobster

Black lobster, highly recommended.

Well i think i lost the rest of pics, but anyway they have good hospitality and able to speak English fluently if u wanna bring your expatriate client or u wanna find some romantic and classy candle light dinner. Casis is the right place. Two thumbs up.

Have a great day..

Hong Kong - Macaw

I just touch down from Hong Kong today..before i forgot all.. it's better for me to write it down now.. ;p

I went to Hong Kong with my Mate (yes..still the same person).We took Cathay Airlines and stayed in Butterfly on Prat Hotel It's located in Tsim sat shui at Prat Avenue. U can took Airport express and stop at kowloon MTR Station and took Taxi to Prat Avenue (it's cost around HK$37) Butterfly Hotel on Prat is a Boutique Hotel and located in a very convenient area. Nearest MTR is East Tsim sat shui, u can reach there 3 minutes by walk. Butterfly on Prat surrounded by restaurants and shopping area.Overall i will stay here again for my next visit. But it will be better if they also provide room heater since it's very cold at night in winter season.

Here's the room..this is standard room space are enough and they provide desk,wardrobe and a shower (no bath tub).

Hong Kong is Heaven for Shoppers. They have lots of Marc Jacobs Outlet (i bought a cute watch with a good price there) Bally, salvatoe Feragamo, Hermes, Coach, u named it They have all.. With cheaper price (compared with Jakarta). For Cosmetics u can find SASA, BONJOUR and WATSON Everywhere. I prefered SASA store for cosmetics. They have more brands, and i can find lots of KANEBO products here (i'm a fan of KANEBO brand).They also provide sample size in affordable price for Clarins,Clinique,Kose,etc. This is very good, if u're still considering what products suits u, u can buy this sample size. All of those three stores i mentioned above also sell perfumes, i bought 212 VIP 100ml only HK$468. While in Jakarta it's quite pricey almost IDR 700.000. Each SASA Stores sell different products, so u should visit all of them (thanks to my very nice friend who patiently wait for me).

Chinese new year.. Bunny everywhere..since it's a rabbit year..

If u're looking for cheap shopping u can go to Mongkok area they have ladies market there, it's more like Melawai (districts in Jakarta) Where people sell souvenirs, clothes, fake branded stuff, etc. If u're looking for cute boutique u can go to fa yuen streets. Other place is Sham shui po, well this one is more like Glodok (chinese town in jakarta) Lots of electronics here (u can find fake i phone4 here..LOL). Well sadly i couldn't find anything for me here..maybe because it's winter..they only sell winter clothes.

this is ladies market..

For me Hong Kong is more interesting for sightseeing. I went to Disneyland, and it's fun.. Same like other Disneyland (only mickey and minnie can speaks Mandarin here) u can see lots of attraction and musical performance there. They have lots of restaurant here, but if u're moslem u should eat at Indian restaurant (That's the only Halal food i think). From Tsim sat shui we took MTR to nam chong to change the line and took MTR to sunny Bay station and change MTR to Disneyland Resort. The Disneyland resort MTR is cute..it has Disney characters inside. Well in Hong Kong you have to go to star avenue..it's only few blocks from prat avenue..There,u can see city light attraction at night where they play the light with some music as a background..really cool..And also don't forget to go to Victoria peak, u can see Madame tussaud museum there..

It's Hongkong at night token from Victoria Peak..

Cute mickey windows..

me n james bond..ok not a good pics..but at least i just wanna show what u can see in madame tussaud.. ;p

hm..i dunno how to rotate it here..but this is star avenue, a spot to see city light..it's started 8 pm.


On the Third day, we went to MACAW, we took ferry for an hour to reach Macaw. In Macaw u don't need to rent a car. All u need to know is find nearest hotel to ur targeted place to visit. If u're willing to visist senado Square and Ruin in St.Paulo u just need to take a free shuttle bus to grand Lisboa Hotel and took 10 minutes by walk to Senado square. U also can see dancing fountain and gold dragon in Wynn Hotel.From senado square u can get ther by taxi it's around HK$40, It's a must see attraction. And if u wanna go to mall u can go to venetian, just like it's name it's all designed like venetian in Italy.From Wynn hotel i go back to the ferry by wynn shuttle bus and change to venetian free shuttle bus.

It's venetian mall, token from the canoe that i ride inside the mall (actually u can't took pic in the canoe)

Ruin st.Paulo.. feels like in europe..LOL

hm..this is wynn hotel in front of the fountain..but the fountain already finish when i took this pics..*sigh

Overall i like Hong Kong, Maybe for Moslem it's Quite hard to find Halal food there.. even Mc Donald, Yoshinoya and Pizza Hut have pork menu. So it's better to ask first and find Halal logo before u eat in reastaurant.

Cheers..
