Really Beauty on Budget

For the money savers out there.

I got the question a lot, how to do make up with less budget. And i really need to practice again after 3 month didn't do any make up at all on me either on someone else. I decided to do this post, anyway my friends already remind me about my absence on blogging so here you go...

The tips that i got from my own experience that i hope can help you guys figure it out.

1. Know your skin type and choose the right skin care, make up is easier to applied on healthy skin
2. Choose carefully for the foundation and match the shade with your skin tone
3. Choose the decorative products on neutral color, and add some bright color to your collection. ex : you can get a nice neutral brown eyeshadow quad and can get some pink, blue or black eyeshadow to add in your collection. You can experiment on the color, but neutral always is the best choice
4. Get yourself a good primer for face and primer for eyes.
5. And remember less is more, you don't have to put on everything on your face while doing make up, if you go bold on eyes make sure you make everything else is light. 

I got 2 models, meet Melinda and Melan. Melinda asked for make up that Korean and Japanese looks like and Melan asked for more lady rocker look but not too gothic. Both asked for easy 15 minutes make up (of course budgeted). 

Sari ayu 25th year Eyeshadow Palette
Marcks loose powder in creme
Revlon shine control
Inez liquid foundies
Pixy liquid eyeliner (black)
Red A lipstick (nude)
Evanysenses waterproof mascara
ELF eyelash curler
Some random brushes (Majelier and Masami Shouko)

Didn't read any blush on and eyebrow pencil? Yes, i didn't use any. I used the lipstick and applied it like i applied cream blush, with finger and blend it. For the eye brow i use dark chocolate eye shadow and brush to applied them.

Melinda

Melan

Only false lashes that missing in both of this look i think. If use false lashes the eyes will pop out.

Sweet Lips and Brushes (Haul)

I'm crazy about lips, as you guys all know that i'm a big fan of lip conditioner, lip balm whatsoever more than lipstick. I got mysefl 4 brand new of lip balm lately.

Top : Labello Pearly Shine ; Carmex Lip Balm
Bottom : Labello Light Kiss

And the other one that forgot to take the picture is Banana Boat with Spf Lip Balm ( This one is my favourite, and already used, gonna do the review soon)

Last but not least, i got myself Essence of Beauty travel set brushes.

Left : Face edition
Right : Eyes edition

I forgot how much they cost me, sorry but i got the balm around somewhere in Stephenplatz and the brushes is from my fellow FD member.

Personal Life Post

I've been away for like 3 month :(

I missed blogging, but been away for so long until i don't know what to post anymore. I've been behind from everybody.

Dear ladies, do you know and aware that nowadays there's a lot of disease that attack most of woman age around their 20-30 something? I didn't!!! Until my love's sister was very sick and got to be hospitalized for like 3 month. I didn't know it was that serious because i was still on my Euro trip last July, and we didn't stay in touch as much as we want to because of the lack of source i had there and my love's didn't want to bother me while i was concentrating on my competition back then.

Apparently, while i was gone, on early July she was hospitalized for few week because she had prolonged fever (up to 40-42 degrees). The doctor made lots and lots of test, and lots of diagnose also. She was claimed of Leukimia, and TB, and even some doctor said could be HIV. I was like, WHAT?

She went to 2 different hospital in Indonesia, and her husband decided to take her to Malacca for better treatment, but that didn't work out also. And one of the doctor reccommended a hospital in Jakarta (my friends suggest i better not say the name, afraid of Prita's case :D ) she was there for one whole month, and the doctor keep running test without a result and can you guys believe, they once misplace her medicine with other patient's medicine, i can sue them for that actually! There was a result - i really wanna kick the doctors there-, she was diagnose to had TB disease which make her had to drink the medicine for one year. As we all probably guess, she was getting worse than ever, she had fever everyday, until her skin is chappy all around her body, and her hair was totally red and grey because of the fever she had. To make it worse, she got a swollen heart and liver because of the medicine she took.

My love and i decided to discuss with the whole family and took her to Penang Island in Malaysia for many people has been well after they went there. And my father did has his treatment and several surgery there. I was running on and off from Jakarta, to Medan, to Penang accompany her and my love during this 3 months. I barely have no time to finish my thesis, but that the sacrifice i'm willing to make.

Miracle happened, after we went to Penang, in just 3 days she was able to walk and take a bath on her own. Her fever lowly gone and the doctor did run some test, apparently she got auto immune disease, and on her case it was nearly LUPUS.

I apologized for many bad situation that may caused for i been away, such as some fellow FD friend, i think i still owe them some money because i've been away for so long and my package must be arrived long time ago. And to my dearest friends that been so worried about me and my love's family.

Long story short, she has to check up in few month to make sure her immune system is stronger. And now she is fine and happy with her 3 kids, but can't be in a stressful condition and has to do some diets.

There's no beauty without health, so stay healthy my fantabulous ladies.

This is What the Sun had Done to Me

I got tanned easily, it's yay for some and nay for me. I don't like my tanned skin, because it makes me look like i didn't take a bath for the whole day hahaha... It's just my personal taste, no offense to those that love tanned skin. I find it exotic on some people, but not for me sadly T-T

If i went home, to my hometown Lake Toba even less than one week, i got tanned. And apparently summer also got me tanned, even though it's quite windy. Well... don't say i didn't take my daily bath. I DID, TWICE a day :D

Lots of report and some tiny tiny haulage from my trip will be uploaded soon, my friend borrowed my camera, because he has some pictures in it. So i have to be patient.

Here's just some look on  my tanned skin that my friend sent via Blackberry Messenger to me few days ago.

Report of my Absence

Hola dear ladies, how are you guys doing? Still fantabulous, i believe!!!

Miss blogging so much, and of course FD and FOTD, and hauling T-T
I've been neglecting my blog for months (June and July), and to start again kinda confuse, i think i get behing everybody in everything. But will catch up soon, PROMISE.

So, here's my story (excuse to be exact :p).. Me and my team (The Singers Chamber Choir) got picked to compete in Italy for the Seghizzi 50th, Internazionale Di Canto Corale. It's one of the oldest competition in Europe which make the competition is prestigious and to compete, we must send our vocal sample and the judges gonna audition us. So long story come short, we got picked among of hundreds choir that applied from all over the world to compete there. And beside Iran, we are the only contestant that represent ASIA.

It's not easy, we need like approx. IDR 900.000.000 for this competition and got only 3 month to do the fund raising. Believe me, it's not EASY at all. But Thank God, we made it. And thanks to our sponsor and family we can go and compete there.

The result? PROUD OF THESE AWARDS!!!! Check on it yourself, once again.. Indonesia is known for the beautiful voices not for violation only. proud to sing "Indonesian Anthem" there... One of the best moment in my life.

Singing "Yamko Rambe Yamko" with correography

My dear Chorister, we've been singing for 11 years and still going strong

Don't wanna bored you ladies with the details, but we got invited to have 2 concert in Vienna as well.

So the whole trip was, Indonesia - Singapore - Turky - Venice - Gorizzia - Slovenia - Deutch-Wargram - Vienna.
