Review "Trendy" Makeup Brush

Ga berasa udah setahun aku ninggalin blog ini... ampun dehhh!! >_<
dan ini adalah entry pertamaku untuk "Beauty Related Things", so buat yang baru pertama kali visit blog ini, mungkin kedepan aku akan menambah lebih banyak entry tentang makeup & kecantikan (feel free to make a request about it), karena sebelumnya aku lebih banyak menulis random stuff... (-__-").
Sebenarnya kecanduanku sama makeup sudah semenjak SMA, tapi baru akhir-akhir ini aku benar-benar tertarik sama makeup yang akhirnya aku pelajari secara otodidak. Sebenarnya kalau dipikir-pikir, dengan kemajuan teknologi, gak heran kalau banyak orang yang mempelajari skill tertentu secara otodidak, karena informasi udah dimana-mana, TV, Internet, Koran, bahkan dari Smart Phone alias HP yang selalu dibawa kemana-mana.
Nah berkaitan dengan Internet, tentunya gak asing lagi ya sama yang namanya Online Shop. Ini trend yang cukup bikin kecanduan, termasuk aku. Di Online Shop kita bisa nyari dengan lebih mudah, bahkan kadang harganya lebih murah dan lebih mudah untuk membandingkan harga, gak perlu mondar-mandir ke toko sini terus ke toko sebelah lagi deh, ato muter-muter ngelilingin mall yang bikin pegel kaki. Cukup browsing, pilih yang menarik hati, terus pesen deh. Selanjutnya tinggal duduk manis tunggu pak pos dateng, semua senang! Hahaha~
Oke, aku gak akan banyak bahas tentang Online Shop lagi, langsung aja ke reviewnya ya!!

Ini adalah makeup brush yang aku beli lewat Online Shop "Ayou Beauty".
Sebelumnya aku tegaskan dulu kalau ini bukan promosi, tapi benar-benar review sesuai pengalamanku :)

Nama Produk : "Trendy" Makeup Brush
Isi : 10 macam brush makeup
Harga : Rp.99.000 not include shipping

Jujur aja awalnya jatuh cinta sama covernya lho... >_< so cute!!














 

Ini tampilannya kalau sudah dibuka...

Ada cetakkan "Trendy" disamping kiri bawah (awalnya ga perhatiin, karena agak ga keliatan)

Ini tampilan brushnya, ada 10 brush. Pas banget buat yang baru belajar makeup kayak aku :) Warna pegangannya agak lebih ke warna merah-merah pink (it's hard to describe it).

Kalau dibagi berdasarkan fungsinya, face brush / kuas untuk muka'nya, ada 4. Dari kiri : Foundation brush, Powder Brush, Blush/Shading Brush, Fan Brush. Favoritku sih Powder Brushnya, karena gede banget, dan bulunya alus banget. Secara keseluruhan sih kualitas bulu brushnya alus banget, dan ga gampang copot (setelah aku coba pake dan dicuci 2 kali).

Untuk eye brush'nya ada 5. Dari kiri : Larger Eyeshadow Brush, Smaller Eyeshadow Brush, Brow Brush, Angle Brush (buat mengaplikasikan eyeliner, eyeshadow atau eyebrow products). Nah brush yang kelima ini yang aku baru pertama kali lihat, modelnya kayak sponge tapi ujungnya lancip, asumsiku sih ini untuk "blending" pencil eyeliner / gel eyeliner. Selama ini sih aku pakenya buat itu, mungkin dientry selanjutnya aku akan nunjukkin bagaimana aku pakai brush ini :). 

Ini yang terakhir dan paling unik sendiri. Masih inget digambar kedua, brush yang paling ujung yang item sendiri ini bisa berubah lho... LOL. Ya, benar sekali, ini adalah Lip Brush. Cara pakainya tinggal dibuka, jadi dua bagian kayak gambar dikiri bawah, terus dipasang deh. Bagusnya Lip Brush dengan disain seperti ini abis dipakai bisa langsung ditutup lagi, jadi membuat brushnya lebih higienis, apalagi untuk mengaplikasikan lipstick yang diaplikasikan langsung di bibir, pasti kita maunya higienis kan? :).

Mengenai pemakaiannya, brush set ini cukup pas menurutku, dari segi panjangnya juga ga terlalu panjang dan ga terlalu pendek. Rata-rata panjang brushnya 14 - 16,5 cm. Jadi cukup nyaman karena pas digenggaman.

Lip Brushnya yang agak panjang kalau dibuka, sekitar 16,5cm. 

Last but not least, seperti yang sudah aku bahas sebelumnya, kualitas bulu untuk setiap brush ini alus dan cukup high quality. Kalau dipakai tidak banyak menyerap produk yang kita pakai jadi produk yang kita pakai langsung nempel di muka setelah diaplikasikan. Kalau dibanding brush lain yang sebelumnya aku pakai, pas dicuci keliatan banyak banget produk yang nempel, jadi terasa agak boros untuk produk-produk seperti foundation, sama loose powder.

So, after all, it's a good product with a reasonable price! Very Recomended!

Suitable for makeup beginners, or even just as traveling makeup set.

The cons? 

For now I can't really think something bad about this brush set, but if I do, I'll post about it :)

NB : bagi yang tertarik untuk beli, bisa browsing di www.tokopedia.com atau www.rakuten.co.id search for "Ayou Beauty". 

SoulJa feat. Miho Karasawa - Way to Love ～最後の恋～

I don't really know why, but today I really feel like to heard and posting about this song.

This is actually one of my precious song, that could make me calm, feel in love, and bring almost every of my love story as a teenager. Include my first love... #blushing#. As I remember, I first heard this song from the MTV Asia (JK Hits) 3 years ago, and I got in love at the first sight.

Honestly, first I don't really know the meaning of this song, I just in love without reason... But when I heard the lyrics "Kimi ni aitakute tada chikaku ni sasete, Onegai sobani ite.. itsumademo..." (I know just a little of Japanese language which I learn from watching dorama). I just know the meaning of this song must be really resemble my pure, naive, teenager love. And as fast as possible, I search for the lyrics and the English translation.

The meaning is really got me deeply in love with this song, and as you can tell, it stick into me until today.

And I become a fans of SoulJa's song, hmmm.... not all of his song, but "Koko ni Iru Yo" feat. Thelma Aoyama, which one of the song on his first album "Spirits" is also got my attention.

Note :
This is the best lyrics that really got the song right,
As I search, I got a few of wrong lyrics.


English Translation :

Eventhough I'm selfish
Now I want to tell you
this feeling

Being selfish on my own
but I want to see you now
because I'm in the middle of falling in love

rap:
because of being hurt by your past love
you couldn't trust other people
and I feel the same way as you do
but you are different
you are glowing
I am afraid by the feeling in my heart
that I will repeat the mistake of hurting you
but I want to be by your side

this soft feeling is flowing
(your heart that wavers at first is slowly opening up)
the feeling of noise of the city is resonating
(feel so good)

Being selfish on my own
but I want to see you now
I couldn't wait for tomorrow
It is strange
Gazing up at the open sky
I am assured
I am in the middle of falling in love

rap:
Teasing friends always said
"the two of you look good together"
but in the end we ended up as friend
I was supposed to feel relieved about it
but since when
both of us
during all these time we spent together
I felt the feelings I've never had before
when we are together
yeah sing it

weird rhythm is wrapping in
(always been looking for the one
unknowingly you've been infront of me)
Feeling different for the first time
(my real feelings is)

I just wanna keep on loving you always
(always all about you)
this clumsy feelings
happiness alone is sad
(I want to tell you this feeling)
warmth of this soft feeling
I want to treasure it
when I'm falling for the last love

I want to see you
let me stay near by your side
please
when looking at the sky
always
(the time you come to me
I won't ever let go of this love
baby girl I wanna see you right now)

Eventhough I'm selfish
Now I want to tell you
this feeling

I just wanna keep on loving you always
(always all about you)
this feelings that I can't get through to you
but deep inside words are overflowing
(feelings that I want to tell you)
tight hugs and kisses
(again and again)
I want to feel it more
the night when I fall for the last love

I am in the middle of falling in love...

Highlights : 

procrastination refers to the act of replacing high-priority actions with tasks of lower priority, or doing something from which one derives enjoyment, and thus putting off important tasks to a later time.

"A.E.Y.I Handicraft" : Debute of My Own Products!! Part 1

So, I actually already started my clay making obsession since a long time,
but this year I finally can produce my own products under my own label.

It's a small business for collecting a pocket money, but I guess it's a great start... huh?

A.E.Y.I Handicraft (My Handicraft Products Label)

So this is my label, which A.E.Y.I is represent initial of my real name : Alethea Esther Yohanna Iroth.
This label is not just for my clay products, but almost everything I made. Include clay, bracelets, earrings, and necklace. But mostly for clay products.

Since I made all the products by my self, I don't really make so much. For one design I only make 2-4 products max. Sometimes only 1. That's why it seems like limited edition huh?... LOL.

This is a few of my products that already sold...

This is my Christmas Edition, which I make :

Christmas Octopus, Tree, Cactus and Wreath

Snowman Keychain

Mix of 1 Christmas Tree and 2 Christmas Present Keychain

Mix of Christmas Candle and Christmas Wreath

A few of Clay Charm on the drying process... (Include a cute little Reindeer!!)

And some of the products that not include on a Christmas Edition : 

Macaroons

Rose Brosche

Sandwich Keychain

Pie Keychain

Candy Color Rose Mirror Keychain

Mix of Bow and Ice Cream Keychain

Red Purse Keychain

Ethnic Purse Keychain

Chick Keychain

"Lilo and Stitch" Scrump Doll Phone Strap

Cookies Keychain (With a mirror on the back)

Deco Box 1st

Deco Box 2nd

Deco Plastic Jars

NOTE :
*Not all of my creation is my original idea, most of them is inspired by clay crafter video on YOUTube. 
*Most of the picture is labeled Airi Handicraft, which actually my first idea for my label before I change it into my recent label.

Actually I already made a lot of products that not been on sale, include a bracelets, earrings, necklace, and much more clay products. But since I don't had the photo yet, I think I will post it later.

So that's all about my first products, and I guess that's a lot that I need to learn for making a nice handicraft product. After all I'm not yet a pro at this, and I only learn it autodidact (learn by my self), so there's so much improvement that I need to do... (>_<") wish me luck...!!
