La Tulipe Milk Cleanser

Hi gorgeous !!

Todays post will be about "La Tulipe Milk Cleanser". It comes in a white plastic bottle with dark blue screw cap. The contents is 250 ml. I like the plastic bottle because its not going to break when i accidentally drop it and it won't easily break too in my suitcase when i go traveling.

At the back of the bottle there is a direction how to wear it and the ingredients.

The milk cleanser itself has a white color and feels oily. I just wear it when i have my "heavy" makeup on. Usually i clean my face using this milk cleanser first then i wash my face using Larissa Facial Foam Tea Tree Opaque. Unfortunately, this milk cleanser doesn't fit me well. It makes me have a lot of breakout ! i don't know whether its the mineral oil that makes me break out or other ingredients. Its also feels greasy and i feel like its not really clean my face. I don't like the smell either.

YES !!!

plastic bottle

can bring it when traveling

Errr... NO !!!

not so clean

don't like the perfume

Review : Larissa Facial Foam Tea Tree Opaque

Today i'm going to do a review on one of Larissa Aesthetic Center's product. Its the facial foam tea tree opaque. I know this clinic from my friend's review. A lot of my friends said that they are very satisfied with this clinic's product also their price is a lot cheaper than other clinic's too. But, usually i use the tea tree milk cleanser first when i use heavy makeup then i wash my face using this product. If i don't wear heavy makeup or just simple makeup, i just use the facial foam.

It comes in a 100 ml bottle. It said that this facial foam is for acne and normal skin.

The product itself has a blue color but its lighter than the tea tree milk cleanser . Its like a sheer blue color. Its a little goes a loongg way. Usually i just use it that much (like in the photo) to wash my face because if i use it too much, i feel like my face becomes dry especially around the nose and mouth. I use it 2 or 3 times a day.

YES !!

feels clean after i wash my face with this

fresh smell

Errr...NO !!

only available in Larissa's counter

Larissa Tea Tree Milk Cleanser

Hi Ladies..
how are you doing ?

Today i will do a review about Larissa Tea Tree Milk Cleanser. I got this product from Larissa Aesthetic Center. You can find this clinic in Arjuno Street in Malang but they do open many branch in other city too. I like their product because they claim to use natural ingredients in their product. I know this clinic from my friends. They told me to go to this clinic to cure my acne (once i've had a lot of acne. At that time, i didn't want to look myself in the mirror because every time i look myself in the mirror, i feel terrible  @_@  )

So i try to see the doctor in this clinic. This product is one of the product that she suggested me to use it.

It comes in a tube. Tea tree usually used in beauty product for acne or oily skin because it can kill bacteria that cause acne.

It contains triclosan too. To use it, i just apply it all over my face, massage it for a while and wipe with tissue. After using this, i feel clean and it tightens my pore too.

The smell is fresh, short of mint and i love that smell. The product itself has gel texture and baby blue color.

Yes !!

cleans my face so well

tighten my pore

love how it smells

Errr...NO !!

can buy it just in the Larissa Aesthetic Center.

have you tried this milk cleanser too ?

Review Etude House AC Clinic Gel Lotion

Etude House AC Clinic Daily Gel Lotion is formulated with Salicylic Acid and Hinoki Cypress extract. AC Clinic Gel Lotion clarifies and soothes troubled skin while maintain oil/moisture balance without aggravation. 

It is Non-Comedogenic & Dermatologist Tested. 'Non-Comedogenic' means it will not produce nor aggravate acne. AC Clinic line is formulated without acne-inducing ingredients to promote clear skin.

The AC Clinic line comes in 6 steps:

Application sequence: Foam Cleanser --> Toner --> Gel Lotion --> Red Spot Balm --> Pink Powder Spot --> Pink Daily Spot, Calming Mist

As you can see on the bottle, this AC Clinic Gel Lotion is on step 3.

It comes in a heavy green glass bottle with white label on it, mmmm..because it comes in a glass bottle, so can't bring it when i go traveling.. :( It has a screw off cap. So its kind of hard to control how much product is coming out. 

The texture is kind of runny. It's light and absorb really fast and its not greasy at all. It goes a loong way..so i just need to use a tiny amount for all over my face. It has slightly white color, but after i rub it, it changes to transparent. It has a herby scent that will disappear when it's fully absorb.

I read so many great review about this product so i decide to give it a try. Sadly, it makes my skin soo dry T_T so i can't use it anymore. I think it suits for very oily skin well. Because my skin is just oily combination skin so that's why it makes my skin so dry.

have you try this product ?

what do you think about it ?

How did i still get that red sucks thing ? ?

hi my beautiful friends,

maybe you are wondering why did i still get that red sucks thing on my face when i already done everything i could ??? (? >.< ?)

already use the right skincare, already stay away from fried foods, etc but still there is an acne stuck on your face. huff !! it sucks !! 

mmm.. maybe you have some habits that trigger the acne..here is some of them :

• It comes from your phone. Bacteria and dirt from fingers and bag can build up on your phone and cause acne on your cheeks and chin. To avoid that, try not to put your phone close to your face when you receive a call.
• Over-scrubbing your face. you can scrub your face twice a week or 3 times a week. Don't scrub your face everyday or twice a day because excess exfoliation causing inflammation and swelling of clogged pores.
• Mineral oil on your cosmetics. Some cosmetics still use mineral oil in it. Some people's skin is okay with it but some people skin don't. It is trapping dead skin cells and bacteria.
• Laundry schedule. Change your towel and pillowcase regularly so the bacteria in it not causing acne for you and don't overused detergents and fabric softeners too. It can cause irritation as well.
• Dirty makeup applicators. Do you washed your makeup brush and sponge regularly ? if not, you must do it starts from now. Because dirty makeup applicators can make you have breakouts. Your makeup tools are crawling with bacteria and dead skin cells so you must deep clean them with shampoo or cleanser regularly.
• Wrong clothes. Fabrics like polyester and lycra can trap dead skin cells and sweat against your body. Instead choose the cotton fabrics one. So your skin can breath.
• Allergy. Maybe you have an allergy to some foods. If you notice that your skin goes nuts after you eat something, maybe you have allergy to that food. 
• Stress. When you're freaking out, you're more likely to break out. Just be sure to get enough sleep, exercise regularly and make some "me" time on your calendar.

thanks for reading my blog guys..

hope this could help you out with your acne problem..

see you on the next post ^ ^

Review Etude House AC Clinic Intense Red Spot Balm

The AC Clinic line in Etude House is designed to heal and prevent acne. This line also has a large range of product. In this post i will review about the red spot balm.

The package is consist of : a spatula, a travel size of acne foam cleanser and red spot balm itself.

The red spot balm is packaged in a glass jar, the cream itself has white color and the textur feels exactly like balm but its not greasy at all !! a little goes a long way. Usually i use the spatula to take the product.

After using it for about a month, i feel the difference on my skin. It doesn't make my skin dry like the other acne product, it heals my acne and make the scars disappear slowly but sure. (/^_^)/ 

so happy that i can find this product and i have already bought a new one as a backup.. :p

Review Clean & Clear Active Clear Speed Clearing Gel

Hi everyone !

I was looking for an acne gel that would calm my acne and finaly i find this product ! (/^_^)/

The packaging is a tube that comes in a plastic box. It contains 10g of the product. You just need to squeeze it to get the product.

It claimed to be :

• Oil free
• Won't clog pores
• Reduce appearance of acne from 4 hours
• Has salicylic acid formula

The product is white gel but it will become clear when you apply it to your acne. I apply it directly to my acne. It takes a few days to completely eliminate the acne. When i apply it to my acne, there is a sticky layer on my acne. So usually i use this when i want to go to bed. About reduce appearance of acne from 4 hours, like i said my acne reduce appearance within a few days. But overall, i like this product. Definitely will repurchase ! (^_^)

Who want to have a clear skin look ?

Everybody wants to have a clear skin, but you can't get that clear skin in one day. You must maintain  some habits to get that clear skin. So in this blogpost i want to share some of the habbits that can help to get a clear skin look :

1. Drink 8 glass of water a day

To live you must breathe, to breathe you need air. Water is like the air to your skin. It hydrates the skin. Water will help prevent dry skin and cleanse your body from toxin.

2. Hygiene

Everytime you want to touch your face, make sure you wash your hands first. Because your hands can be full of bacteria. Wash your face every night before you sleep.Don't go to sleep with your make up on. Make sure that everything that will touch your face is in clean condition such as make up sponge, brushes, etc.

3. Sleep

Did you get enough sleep ? when you sleep, you skin is regenerated. Change your pillow regularly because your pillow could cause acne too because of the bacteria in it.

4. Do some exercise

exercise increase your blood circulation. It will decrease your stressed level so your hormone will stable and it prevents acne. Just remember don't wear make up when you exercise ! because when you exercise, you pore is opened. If your wear makeup when you exercise, your makeup will clog your pores and makes you have some breakout afterwards.

5. Make sure to wash your face + body after exercise

6. Don't eat junk food !!

what you are is what you eat. Eat healthy food. Eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. It will make you healthier and prevent acne too.

7. Stay away from sugary drink 

such as lemonade, drink with soda in it, etc. There is too much sugar in it. Just stick with water.

8. Moisturize

Moisturize your skin is important even for oily skin. So know your skin type and your best product for your skin.

9. Exfoliate and mask

exfoliate your skin once or twice a week to remove all the dirt in your pores. used the facial mask once every two weeks to moisturize your skin even more.

10. Oil free makeup

Oil free makeup tends to not clog your pores.

remember to check my blogpost " DIY Natural Acne Treatments " too. Just remember, acne is a normal thing. It shouldn't stop you from being confident about yourself.

Review : Revlon Photoready Concealer 002 Light

Revlon Photoready Concealer is a part of Revlon Photoready range. In this range, there is primer, shadow, brightener, cream blush, concealer, etc. I was looking for a heavy coverage concealer for my acne scars and when i tried for the first time in counter, it looked really promising.

The Claims :

• Full yet undetectable coverage
• Oil free 
• Fragrance free
• Flawless, airbrushed appearance in any light

How to :

Apply it under eyes area and over any imperfections or dark spots, blend using finger tips in gently patting motion. 

The concealer comes in 6 shades but in Indonesia i just can find it in 2 /  3 shades. I choose the 002 light shades for myself. The concealer comes in lipstick form. Makes it easy to carry. It wrapped in plastic seal with no box. The cap is transparent, it's great ! so we can see the color inside. 

The concealer has a very creamy texture and it blends nicely with finger. 

It has a good staying power and feels lightweight. It gives matte finish too. It can easily remove with cleanser. I'm very pleased with this product so far.

what about you ?

have you tried Revlon Photoready Concealer ?

what do think ?

DIY Natural Acne Treatments

Everyone wants clear skin but it's easier to said than done. Sometime that "bad boy" called acne won't leave our face. Acne involves the overproduction of sebum and blockage of the pores with mass of dead cell and oil. This creates a breeding ground for bacteria in our skin. Another most common contributing factors for acne is hormonal changes. Some girl have their acne usually in a week before menstruation.

Here i have some natural treatment i made that i have been using for my acne care lately. It seems to have helped me soothe my acne and relieve the scars.

Cucumber

Yeepp i made it into an ice cube cucumber ! I grind the cucumbers and mix with water then i pour into ice cube trays, put it in the freezer and TARRAA ! ice cube cucumber is ready to served !!! :p Cucumber can remove dead skin cells and clean pores. They moisturize, remove extra oil from my face and soothe my acne. Usually i used this once every other day. I apply it before washing my face.

Water from washing rice

made it into ice cube again ! its easier this way XD i can used them whenever i want..

This time they look like regular ice cube so be careful if someone wants to make ice tea. Make sure they know which ice cube tray is for the ice tea and which one is for the face..

to make this ice cube water from washing rice, i wash the rice in branch water (can be mineral water or water from your tap) and after the water become white, i pour the water into ice cube tray..and put it in the freezer. I used this once every other day too. Apply it before washing my face. This ice cube can give you a bright clear look skin and relieve the scars from your acne.

do you have any other suggestion about natural acne treatments ?
