Waterproof makeup sulit dibersihkan tanpa menggunakan pembersih wajah yang tepat, terutama untuk area riasan mata. Kulit di sekitar area mata lebih sensitif sehingga kalau menggunakan pembersih yang kurang cocok dengan kulit bisa menyebabkan mata iritasi dan terasa perih.

Kali ini aku ingin berbagi pengalaman aku menggunakan DHC Deep Cleansing Oil yang dapat membersihkan kulit dari kotoran dan sisa makeup. DHC Deep Cleansing Oil ini merupakan produk kecantikan dari Jepang dan sudah mendapatkan banyak review positif dari para penggunanya yang tersebar di berbagai negara.


Kemasan

Kemasan kotak luar DHC Deep Cleansing Oil ini tampak simpel dan didominasi oleh ilustrasi DHC Deep Cleansing Oil dan teks bahasa Jepang. Kemasan botolnya berupa botol plastik transparan dengan pump di atasnya. Yang aku suka dari tipe kemasan botol transparan seperti ini aku jadi bisa melihat berapa banyak produk yang tersisa di dalamnya. DHC Deep Cleansing Oil ini hadir dalam 4 ukuran: 30ml, 70ml, 150ml, dan 200ml. Yang aku punya ini versi kemasan 70ml.


Klaim produk ini

Efektif membersihkan wajah dan makeup secara lembut dan menyeluruh tanpa membuat kulit terasa berminyak.


Komposisi (lihat dari sociolla)

Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Sorbeth-30 Tetraoleate, Pentylene Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Tocopherol, Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil

Tekstur dan Wangi

DHC Deep Cleansing Oil ini memiliki tekstur seperti minyak pada umumnya. Cleansing oil ini memiliki aroma seperti minyak zaitun (olive oil) di hidungku. 


Cara Aku Menggunakan Produk Ini

Tuang cleansing oil ini sebanyak 1-2 pompa ke telapak tangan yang kering, usapkan dengan gerakan memijat atau memutar ke area yang ingin dibersihkan hingga makeup luntur, bilas dengan air bersih. Lalu lanjutkan mencuci muka dengan facial wash kesayangan (double cleansing).

Aku menggunakan cleansing oil hanya saat untuk membersihkan makeup (terutama waterproof makeup).

Results

Awal saat mengaplikasikan cleansing oil ini rasanya muka jadi minyakan banget (greasy, secara namanya juga pakai minyak ya). Tapi cleansing oil ini bisa melunturkan makeup, bahkan waterproof makeup sekalipun. Cukup usap perlahan selama beberapa saat dan makeup akan luntur tanpa membuat kulitku iritasi atau perih walau area riasan mata sekalipun.




Produk ini mudah dibilas dengan air. Setelah dibilas, kulit tidak terasa berminyak dan tidak ada kesan kering / kulit tertarik. Kulit terasa cukup lembap dan bersih. Walau demikian, aku melanjutkan membersihkan muka dengan facial cleanser untuk double cleansing agar lebih maksimal.

Where to Buy

Produk DHC Deep Cleansing Oil ini bisa didapatkan di sociolla dengan harga IDR 145.000,- (untuk ukuran 70ml, harga Februari 2021). Terkadang sociolla memberikan special price saat tertentu, dan kamu bisa memanfaatkan saat tersebut untuk mendapatkan produk incaran kamu dengan harga spesial.

Brand kecantikan lokal Jarte Beauty berkolaborasi dengan Patricia Stephanie menghadirkan makeup palette "Daily Needs 2in1 Face and Eyes Palette." Aku tertarik mencoba palette ini karena merupakan hasil kolaborasi Patricia Stephanie, yang hasil kolaborasinya selalu laris manis di antara para followers-nya.


Packaging

Kemasan Jarte Beauty x Patricia Stephanie Daily Needs Palette ini ukurannya cukup compact untuk 10 eyeshadow, 2 blush on, 1 highlighter, dan 1 contour sehingga mudah dibawa saat bepergian. Di kemasan luarnya tertera informasi bahwa eyeshadow palette ini dimanufaktur oleh Shanghai Ayara Cosmetics Co., Ltd, China. Jadi walau Jarte Beauty ini merupakan brand kecantikan Indonesia, tapi eyeshadow palette ini diproduksi di China.


Kotak palette-nya terbuat dari board tebal dan rapi. Bagian ujung-ujung sisinya terdapat magnet yang membantu palette ini tertutup rapat, sehingga tidak usah khawatir akan terbuka atau berantakan saat disimpan di tas. Palette ini juga sudah tersedia cermin yang cukup besar yang bisa membantu saat mengaplikasikan makeup. Pas baru dibuka ada plastik di antara eyeshadow dan kacanya.


Eyeshadow palette keluaran Jarte Beauty ini juga sudah teregistrasi di BPOM dengan nomor NKIT200000167 sehingga bisa dikatakan sudah memenuhi standar keamanan kosmetik di Indonesia.

screenshoot dari website BPOM

Ingredients

Di bagian belakang kemasan kotaknya terdapat info ingredients untuk eyeshadow, highlighter, blush on, dan contour-nya (bisa dilihat dan di-zoom di foto ya untuk detailnya).


Swatch & Results

Jarte Beauty Daily Needs Palette ini terdiri dari 4 eyeshadow matte (mochi, lust, titov, dan joy), 6 eyeshadow shimmer (crush, bliss, rose, unity, peculiar, hamlet), 2 blush on (brooklyn dan sangria), 1 highlighter (mojito), dan 1 contour (manhattan).


Untuk foto hasil swatch di bawah ini semua shade-nya aku coba dalam satu kali swatch dengan jari. Semua shade eyeshadow-nya pigmented, mudah di-blend, dan bisa diaplikasikan untuk daily makeup, casual to formal look, sesuai dengan nama eyeshadow palette-nya, "daily needs".

swatch dengan cahaya outdoor

swatch dengan cahaya indoor

Eyeshadow ini warnanya bisa keluar dengan baik walaupun di atas scotch mata. Untuk yang shimmer teksturnya menurut aku agak buttery. Buat eyeshadow-nya yang matte memang masih ada fall out tapi buat aku pribadi enggak menjadi masalah.


Blush on nya terlihat natural dan buildable. Buat contour-nya enggak terlalu warm jadi bisa dipakai buat contour hidung juga, dan mudah di blend. Buat highlighter nya aku juga suka karena enggak keliatan lebai di kulit.


Buat aku palette ini worth to buy (apalagi beli pas diskon) terutama buat yang suka sama face palette yang compact dengan warna yang bisa dipakai sehari-hari.

Where to Buy & Price

Aku membeli Jarte Beauty x Patricia Stephanie Daily Needs 2in1 Face and Eyes Palette ini di official store Jarte Beauty di Shopee Indonesia seharga IDR 134.750,- (pas dapat harga spesial di Shopee, harga normal IDR 385.000,-). Selain di Shopee, Jarte Beauty juga memiliki official store di Tokopedia dan JD ID.

Buat teman-teman yang memiliki kulit berminyak seperti aku saat mendengar face oil mungkin terlintas: "Kalau pakai face oil bikin muka makin minyakan enggak yah?" Kalau kalian yang kulitnya berminyak dan pernah berpikir seperti itu, berarti kita sama! Pemikiran itu sempat bikin aku maju mundur buat cobain produk ini. Tapi setelah membaca beberapa artikel yang mengatakan face oil yang tepat bisa memberikan manfaat kesehatan bagi semua jenis kulit bahkan kulit berminyak sekalipun, seperti membuat kulit terlihat lebih glowing, dan bisa mengurangi sebum pada wajah, dan akhirnya aku memutuskan untuk mencoba face oil.

Face oil yang aku coba merupakan Facial Oil Serum dari Bio Beauty Lab. Bio Beauty Lab ini merupakan brand skincare lokal Indonesia. Facial oil serum dari Bio Beauty Lab ada 2 varian, yaitu: Luxurious yang diformulasikan untuk semua jenis kulit dan Anti Acne untuk kulit berjerawat. Karena kulit aku enggak ada masalah dengan jerawat kecuali saat PMS, aku memilih mencoba varian Luxurious Facial Oil Serum.


Packaging

Tampilan kemasan Bio Beauty Lab Luxurious Facial Oil Serum ini terlihat clean, minimalist, dan didominasi warna pink dan putih. Kemasan produknya berupa botol kaca yang dilengkapi dengan pipet untuk menggunakan oil-nya. Facial Oil Serum dari Bio Beauty Lab ada 3 ukuran: 5ml, 10ml, dan 20 ml. Yang aku punya ukuran 10ml.


Claims

hydrating, soothing, brightening, antioxidant, anti-aging, anti microbial

Produk ini juga sudah BPOM dengan nomor BPOM NA18200105048. Pas aku cek di website BPOM memang nomor ini teregistrasi untuk Luxurious Facial Oil Serum.

screenshoot dari website BPOM

Ingredients

Squalane Oil, Primrose Oil, Rose Hip Seed Oil, Sea Buckthorn Oil, Macadamia Seed Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Vitamin E, Geranium Essential Oil, Frankincense Essential Oil, Lemon Essential Oil.


Texture, Fragrance

Facial Oil Serum ini memiliki tekstur cair seperti oil pada umumnya dengan wangi manis seperti bunga di hidungku. Walau wanginya manis, tapi wanginya tidak mengangguku karena wanginya bukan wangi manis buatan melainkan wangi manis yang alami di hidungku.


How I used This

Aku menggunakan Bio Beauty Lab Luxurious Facial Oil Serum ini dengan cara menuangkan 3-4 tetes dengan bantuan pipet di telapak tangan, gosok-gosok dengan kedua tangan, lalu usapkan perlahan ke wajah dan leher sampai merata, setelahnya aku gosok-gosok tangan lagi biar suhu tangan menjadi hangat, lalu aku letakkan di atas pipi, lalu area muka lainnya, supaya oilnya benar-benar meresap ke kulit wajah.

Facial oil serum ini aku gunakan hanya saat malam hari setelah double cleansing dan toner atau di tahap sebagai pengganti moisturizer. Aku tidak menggunakan facial oil serum ini saat siang hari karena aku merasa kurang menikmati ini sebagai skincare routine saat pagi karena bentuknya berupa oil.

Results

Saat menggunakan face oil ini pertama kali aku merasa sedikit greasy, dan membuat kulit terlihat lebih berminyak. Tetapi setelah beberapa kali pemakaian, face oil ini tidak lagi terasa greasy di kulitku, dan tidak lagi membuat kulit wajah terlihat lebih berminyak, malah terlihat glowing sehat, walau aku enggak merasakan efek mencerahkan sesuai klaimnya. Kulit juga terasa lebih sehat lebih lembap.

Hal yang paling menyenangkan dari face oil ini, face oil ini sepertinya bisa membantu mengontrol minyak di mukaku, karena saat sore hari mukaku tidak 'sebanjir' biasanya walau aktivitas di dapur seharian setelah pemakaian rutin beberapa waktu sekitar 2 mingguan.

Where to Buy

Aku membeli Bio Beauty Lab Luxurious Facial Oil Serum ini dengan harga spesial IDR 171.600 (harga normal IDR 195.000) di Shopee Indonesia. Produk Bio Beauty Lab ini juga bisa dibeli di official store Bio Beauty Lab Tokopedia maupun di reseller Bio Beauty Lab. 

Likes

+ sudah BPOM (NA 18200105048)
+ memiliki berbagai ukuran (5ml, 10ml, dan 20 ml)
+ menggunakan bahan-bahan alami
+ tidak mengandung fragrance buatan
+ kemasannya praktis dan higinis
+ melembapkan muka
+ membuat kulit muka terlihat glowing

Dislikes

Hi all! Some of you may already heard about Pyunkang Yul, skincare brand launched by Pyunkang Oriental Medicine Hospital, an institution that known for treating atopic skin disorders. This Korean brand avoids unnecessary chemical substances in its products, utilizing minimum ingredients that makes their lines gentle on the skin. 

And here, I share my opinion and experience using Pyunkang Yul Mist Toner.

Packaging

Pyunkang Yul Mist Toner come in deep blue see-through spray bottle with black-accent spray nozzle. It is available in two sizes, 100 ml and 200 ml. The one I have is 100 ml. I love how the mist comes out very fine and even.


Ingredients

Aqua, Coptis Japonica Root Extract, 1-2 Hexanediol, Butylene Glycol Glycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Acetic Acid.

Sodium Hyaluronate: moisturize, reduce skin inflammation


How I used This

After cleansing, as hydrating toner.

Texture, Fragrance, Results, and My Thoughts

The mist toner have watery texture and scent-free that feels like water. It is convenient to use, thanks to its mist format. I love how it refresh my skin instanly and absorbed through the skin quickly. What's more, it doesn't sticky or make my skin looks greasy. This mist toner is works well on my oily skin.

Since this toner is minimal ingredients, I think this toner is suitable for sensitive skin. This mist toner may not hydrates enough for dry skin, but Pyunkang Yul have essence toner, which may more suitable for dry skin.

Pyunkang Yul Mist Toner also works well on top of make up, feels light and not disturbing the makeup. It is convenient to moisturize skin anywhere anytime whenever you feel like. However, this mist toner helps to moisturize and not works as fixing spray so it won't help your makeup stay longer. 

Here I put picture before and after using Pyunkang Yul Mist Toner on top of make up.


Where to Buy and Price

I bought this toner from Sociolla for 108.000 IDR (100ml, discount price, around 7.6 USD). Normal price is 180.000 IDR (100ml, around 12.7 USD). This is also available Tokopedia official, Shopee Mall ID.

For Malaysian friends, Pyunkang Yul Mist Toner is available at Hermo and Shopee Mall MY.
For Singaporean friends, Pyunkang Yul Mist Toner is available at Shopee Mall SG.
For Filipino friends, Pyunkang Yul Mist Toner is available at BeautyMnl and Lazada PH Official.
Pyunkang Yul Mist Toner also available at Yesstyle, Althea, StyleKorean.

I used computer and smartphone for long hours everyday, whether it's for work or just watching Netflix. Sometimes after a long day staring at computer and phone screen, my eyes feel tired and also headache. Some of you may have same trouble like me, and here I would love to share about Kao MegRhythm Steam Eye Mask that save my tired eyes.

About MegRythm

MegRhythm Steam Eye Mask is made by the Kao Group from Japan, which is develops consumer products in four of fields of business: cosmetics, skin care and hair care, human health care, and fabric and home care. MegRhythm Steam Eye Mask itself is famous in Japan, and also available in many countries outside Japan like Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Taiwan, Hongkong, etc.

This steam eye mask developed with Japan's unique and innovative steam heat technology. It is a self-warming steam eye mask which produces comfortable 40°C steam heat that gently envelopes eyes for around 20 minutes that relax strained eyes. There is some variant available on market. The one I bought is the lavender one.

Packaging

MegRhythm Steam Eye Mask come in plastic packaging, looks like sheet mask at a glance. It is available in two size in Indonesia, single sheet steam eye mask, or one box that contains of 5 steam eye masks.


How to use This

1. Remove the steam eye mask from the plastic. The steam eye mask will begin to warm up as soon as the plastic is opened, so it should be used as soon as possible.
2. Tear along the perforation, use the white side facing the eyes.
3. Place the longer notched edge down. Place the ear straps around ears.
4. Wait around 20 minutes then remove the steam eye mask.

Results & My Thoughts

This steam eye mask uses soft material that feels comfort on my eyes. The steam mask feels warm in a minute and can maintain the heat around 20 minutes. It makes my tired eyes feels relax, warm, and comfortable. What's more, the lavender scent is pleasing, it is not overpowering, which make me feels more relax (and also sleepy, since I used this at midnight).


After around 20 minutes and remove the steam eye mask, my eyes feel relieved, and relax. It is also help ease my headache that caused by staring screen too long.

There is some precautions though:
- Check with your doctor before using this product if you are receiving medical treatment.
- Stop using the eye mask immediately when you feel that if it is too hot, or pain, unusual physical change or discomfort
- Do not use with other eye mask
- If eye drops are applied, please wait for a few minutes before using eye mask
- Keep eyes closed and do not press the eye mask againts your eyes during application
- May cause smudging or removal of makeup

Where to Buy and Price

I bought this a box of Kao MegRhythm Steam Eye Mask at Kao Official store at Shopee Indonesia for IDR 50.300,- / around 3.54 USD (discounted price, normal price is IDR 75.000,- / around 5.3 USD). For Indonesian friends, this also available at Tokopedia, and Sociolla.

For Singaporean friends, this steam mask can bought at Shopee SG or Watsons Singapore.
For Filipino friends, this steam mask is available at Lazada PH, Shopee PH, and Beautymnl.

Conclusion

Overall I am pleased with this steam eye mask. I won't use this steam eye mask everyday because I think it won't became pleasure anymore if I used this everyday.

Hi! Maybe some of you noticed that I rarely post review for facial cleansers products. I rarely change my facial cleansers, but I have run out of my usual facial cleanser. So this time I bought COSRX Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser to try instead. And today I'll share with you my thought on COSRX Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser.

Packaging

COSRX Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser come in white squeeze tube. I love COSRX consistency with their packaging design, it always have clean minimalist design, and so this one. It is available in two size, 50ml and 150ml. The one I have is 150ml.


Ingredients

Water, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate, Polysorbate 20, Styrax Japonicus Branch/Fruit/Leaf Extract, Butylene Glycol, Saccharomyces Ferment, Cryptomeria Japonica Leaf Extract, Nelumbo Nucifera Leaf Extract, Pinus Palustris Leaf Extract, Ulmus Davidiana Root Extract, Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Flower Extract, Pueraria Lobata Root Extract, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Allantoin, Caprylyl Glycol, Ethylexylglycerin, Betaine Salicylate, Citric Acid, Ethlyl Hexanediol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Trisodium Ethlyenediamine Disuccinate, Sodium Benzoate, Disodium EDTA.


Why low pH cleanser?

Our skin's natural pH runs from 4-6, which is more good if our skincare products (also cleansing products) have identical pH. Most cleansing products are alkaline that have higher pH than our skin's natural pH that will cause our skin's pH to increase, leading to skin's dehydrated which can lead to another skin problems. Low pH cleanser will help keep skin balanced and hydrated which will lessen risk of irritration.

Texture, Fragrance, Results, and My Thoughts

COSRX Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser has gel to liquid consistency. The gel cleanser comes in a clear gel and smell like chemical with hint of tea tree which some people may find it disturbing. I personally don't have a problem with the smell and I actually prefer natural scent or product that doesn't contain any artificial fragrance like this gel cleanser.


This gel cleanser creates soft lather when rubbed with water. The lather is quite a lot for gel type facial cleanser, and I love how it helps clean my face without make it feels dry or tight feeling. 


Although this gel cleanser feels gentle, surprisingly it is able to remove makeup too (not all makeup though). However, I still prefer do double cleansing after put some makeup instead just cleanse with facial wash only.


I already used this cleanser for one month and no problem occured. I think this gel cleanser really works well and will suitable for all skin types even for sensitive skin one.

Where to Buy and Price

I bought this COSRX Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser at online ecommerce for 315 PHP (around 6.5 USD). For Filipino Friends also can purchase this at watsons or some official store at shopee or lazada Philippines. 

For Indonesian friends, this COSRX Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser is available in sociolla, and also some official store at tokopedia and shopee Indonesia.

+ alcohol free, paraben free, sulfate free

( highest score from me, there is no such perfect score for skincare products, right?)

If you have oily skin and living in a tropical country where the humidity is high, maybe you are struggle to find which moisturizer will suitable for your skin without make it look too greasy. I suggest to try gel moisturizer type that generally can help moisturize oily skin without make it look too greasy.

There are many gel moisturizer in the market, and one of them is COSRX Hydrium Green Tea Aqua Soothing Gel Cream. I excited to try COSRX Hydrium Green Tea Aqua Soothing Gel Cream since it has green tea as highlight ingredient that good for help reducing sebum (oil) excretions in the skin.


Packaging

COSRX Hydrium Green Tea Aqua Soothing Gel Cream come in white sturdy cylindrical plastic jar that packed with white box. I love COSRX brand packaging that come in clean, minimalist packaging design and highlight their key ingredients on the front of the packaging. It is available in one size.


Ingredients

Water, Propanediol, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Glycerin, Pentylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Panthenol, Tromethamine, Butylene Glycol, Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate, Allantoin, Aloe Ferox Leaf Extract, Ethylhexylglycerin, Glyceryl Acrylate/Acrylic Acid Copolymer, Disodium EDTA, Hydrolyzed Hibiscus Esculentus Extract, Lupinus Albus Seed Extract, Moringa Pterygosperma Seed Extract, Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract, Melia Azadirachta Flower Extra.

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract (Green Tea):  antioxidant, hydrating, anti-inflammatory, good for oily skin
Allantoin: hydrates skin and help to heal wound also increase skin smoothness. good for oily skin and sensitive skin

Texture, Fragrance, Results, and My Thoughts

The gel cream come in translucent green color and doesn't contain any fragrance. COSRX Hydrium Green Tea Aqua Soothing Gel Cream has bouncy jelly texture. It feels light and soothing when applied, however, the gel feels slightly tacky after seconds when it dries. The tacky sensation not to the point of being disturbing though.


This gel helps moisturize my oily skin without making it look greasy and I have been used this COSRX Hydrium Green Tea Aqua Soothing Gel Cream for 3 weeks and no problem occured. I think this gel cream will works well for combination, and oily skin or for you who looking for a very light moisturizer for your routine that don't want a heavy moisturizer.
