A few stuff that I have purchased recently :)

1. Dior Skin Nude Air Serum SPF 20

 I walked in several make up counters during my visit to Jakarta earlier in December as I was super eager to get a new foundation to try. My sister and I walked to YSL counter first to see their Touche Éclat foundation since many youtubers were raving on it. I was super curious to try it on, but the SA was not the nicest SA on earth, so I left even though I was interested in their foundation, oh well. YSL, get a hang on your SAs -.- It was just nice that Dior was very near to YSL, so both of us walked in without having anything in mind. I came across this foundation, cos the bottle look super nice LOLLL I put it in the back of my hand.  The formula on the first try was something that I have never tried before. It was runny, like water but when its set, it leaves a velvet finish in your skin. It gives you the 'your skin, but better' look. Super natural, it feels nothing on the skin. Lightweight as hell. This is liquid foundation, but it feels just like my Chanel Vitalumiere Douceur. It has a light coverage, so if you have blemishes, you need to use concealer on top of this foundation for a fuller coverage. So far I am really liking this foundation for daily use. It looks natural, not too dewy, not too matte, it feels like I'm wearing nothing, got SPF, as well as looks good in photo (not in flash light though). If you are looking for a foundation that fits the criterias above, this foundation might work you! :)

2. Dior Star Fluid Foundation SPF 30

 

 
When I was trying on the Dior Skin, my sister took notice of this foundation. She heard many good reviews on this foundation, so I decided to give it a try. According to the SA, apparently this foundation will look extremely good in camera (much like the Make Up Forever HD Foundation). It has a medium to full coverage, and buildable as well. I wouldn't really use it for daily basis as it tends to feel a tad heavy -but it was not bad or anything. I use this when I know I will take pictures during the day as it gives the most beautiful finish and it covers as well. If you have oily skin, you will definitely need to set this with powder. I don't really like setting my base with powder except for going out at night, but with this one you will definitely need to set as it tends to get really shiny on the face.

3. MAC Strobe Cream

 
I bought this cos.... I just had to? LOL I've heard people saying how good this product is, so I need to get my hands on it. To be completely honest, I'm not really sure what this product is for. FML I know. I didn't even bother to ask the SA and just go ahead and pay, because I know I just have to buy it. So, what I do with this product is Iuse it after my skin care on the area that I always highlight e.g my cheek bones, bridge of my nose, under my eyebrow and my cupid bow and then I put my make up as usual. I will just say one thing about this product, LOVE. I paired this with my Benefit Sun Beam highlighter and my mind was blown. LOL If you are someone who likes to highlight, try this... it will change your life.
 
Rp. 480,000++
 
 
4. MAC Blush in Melba
 

 
Just had to try a MAC blush at least once in my life........
 
Rp. 400,000++
 
 
5. The Balm Mary-Lou Manizer Highlighter 
 

 
LOL okay you know what, buy the end of this post you might probably know that I am the victim of advertisement and other people's review. I walked pass The Balm counter in Seibu with my friends, so I decided to try this. This one is a highlighter that will give you a very natural looking glow with your face. But, it is also buildable to an intense highlighting if you need one during the night. It has very fine shimmers, so it doesn't look harsh in the skin.
 
Rp. 440,000++
 
 
6. MAC Matte Lipstick in Velvet Teddy
do not have the photo of this lipstick, but OMG I totally love this lipstick!!!! My perfect everyday lipstick, with the perfect undertone, with the perfect finish. LOVE LOVE LOVE, even better than all my Chanel lipsticks, MAC I LOVE YOU.
