Biotherm Aquasource Travel Set

Tanggal 25 februari 2012 lalu aku datang ke acara Biotherm Beauty Workshop di Meritus Hotel. Surabaya.
Seperti biasa acaranya meliputi Free Facial & Foot Relaxation (dua ini yang ditunggu-tunggu hehe...) dan tentu saja free snacks and beverage.

Duh sayangnya aku lupa ambil foto-foto di tkp :D
Tapi, to be honest, makanan dan tempatnya kali ini ga se-oke BWS sebelumnya di Sheraton. 
Maap yah kalo ada SA atau orang dari Biothern (or L'Oreal) yang baca postingan ini, sekedar unek-unek semoga semakin baik lagi di BWS berikutnya.... (^o^)/~~


Aku lupa waktu itu habis belanja berapa, soalnya beberapa sodara dan temanku nitip juga hihi... 
Yang jelas SA-nya baeeeek sekali, dia kasi 2 pcs travel set Aquasource dan beberapa sample products.
Awalnya sih cuman ngasi 1 pc doang, tp nyokap juga mupeng ma pouchnya jadilah aku minta satu lagi daripada rebutan wekekeke...  :D

Biotherm Aquasource for Normal/Combination Skin.

Isinya.... 
- Biosource Hydra Mineral Cleanser Toning Mousse 20ml.
- Aquasource Hydra Mineral Lotion Toning Water 30ml.
- Aquasource Non-Stop Oligo-Thermal Gel Intense Moisturazion 15ml.

 

Dari isi pouch ini produk yang sudah kucoba adalah lotion & sabun wajahnya.
Unfortunatelly, ga cocok buat kulitku T_T
Setelah cuci muka pake Biosource Hydra Mineral Cleanser Toning Mousse ini wajahku terasa ketat dan terlalu keset.
Sedangkan lotionnya ada sensasi clekit-clekit, entah ini karena bahannya bereaksi terhadap kulitku atau memang too harsh jd rada perih terutama pas di bagian kulitku yang sensitif.

Anyway kulitku normal-combi, tapi lebih banyak area yang cenderung kering, karena yang oily di sekitar T-zone saja. 
Jadi sepertinya lebih cocok buat jenis kulit kombinasi yang cenderung oily, imho.

Kalo pelembab wajahnya keliatannya aku masih bisa pake.
Cuman keknya bakalan kurang moist kalo dipake malam hari huehee.... kulitku rewel amat yah?

Sooo~~~
Kenapa aku demen banget-ngeeet ma pouch ini, karena ngingetin warna ijo (rada biru dikit sih) khasnya Tiffany & co wakakakaa.... (*≧ 3≦) *gak penting banget deh*
I Tiffany!!


Selain travel set, kita juga mendapatkan 1 bag welcome gift berisi : 
- Biosource Hydra Mineral Cleanser Toning Mousse 20ml
- Aquasource Hydra Mineral Lotion Toning Water 30ml
- Source Therapie7 Skin Perfection Catalyzing Serum
- Aquasource Eye Perfection 360° Hydra Massager Bright, Wide-eyed look.
- Aquasource Skin Perfection Day Cream

 
Aquasource Skin Perfection ini merupakan produk dari line Aquasource yang baru masuk Indonesia.
Berdasarkan keterangan di website US nya,

Aquasource Skin Perfection for All Skin Types
The first skincare in the AQUASOURCE range to combine the equivalent
of 5,000 liters of thermal spring water* with 35 Aquakeep, is designed for
women in search of perfectly hydrated, velvety and glowing skin who want

1,000 times its weight in enriched water to fix moisture in the skin and
release it throughout the entire day.

Yang menarik dari seri Aquasource Eye Perfection ini adalah eye cream-nya.

bareMinerals Original SPF15 Foundation Golden Medium & Light Comparison

Ini adalah perbedaan antara bareMinerals Original SPF15 Foundation Golden Medium & Light dari dalam box Bare Minerals 9-piece Get Started Kit yang aku beli sebelumnya.

( left : Golden Medium, right : Light )

Tampak Golden Medium kuningnya rada kenceng dibandingkan Light.
Imho golden medium cocok untuk skintone nc30-35an.
Sedangkan light mungkin lebih cocok untuk nc25an.
Aku pake kedua warnanya masuk, tapi light sepertinya lebih pas pake light
Light bikin mukaku lebih cerah, sedangkan golden medium jadinya rada kucel kalo udah lebih dari 1 jam pake (oxy kali yah?)

Original SPF15 Foundation ini finishingnya dewy. Exactly what I want!  
Cakep banget deh pokoknya, wajah tampak glowy sehat gitu....
Bahkan temanku yang kulitnya oily-combi juga lebih suka finishnya si Original daripada Matte.
Selain itu juga Original lebih murah US$2 daripada Matte haha ...lol (≧▽≦)
Mayan bisa hemat sedikit :p

Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream in 14 Satin Brown

Ini kali pertama aku beli produk eyeshadow Make Up For Ever.
Gara-gara lihat SA-nya waktu itu pake cakep bener akhirnya ikutan beli Aqua Cream in 14 Satin Brown hahaha.... (*^ワ^*)


It is a lovely shimmery warm brown color.

According to the Sephora's,
It's an ultra-pigmented, long-lasting waterproof cream.
Aqua Cream combines the highest-quality pigments with mother of pearl particles to give immediate rich color payoff with a luminous finish in just one application. It's long-lasting formulation will not crease or smudge under the most extreme conditions and its creamy and elastic texture allows for easy blending.

The fact we need to know about MUFE Aqua Eyes:
Shades #5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 are formulated for the Lips & Cheeks.
Shades #1, 2, 3, 4, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 21, and 22 are formulated for the Eyes & Cheeks.

I never try it on my cheek anyway :D
MUFE Agua Eyes really really waterproof and smudge-proof.
I'm so excited whenI swatched them at the MUFE's counter, I wiped with a wet tissue and it's still stayed on my skin without any smudge at all!

Imho Aqua Eyes just not for me though honestly I really love its colors and textures.
Because I'm a newbie cosme junkie wannabe, I can't never apply this cream shadow properly.
My eyes look so awfully messy when I put this shadow on.... ughh! p(´⌒`q)
Maybe it's because this shadow drying so quickly, and of course I'm a clumsy too. 
My hand always shaking when I using any eye make up products, especially liquid eyeliners ...lol.
I'm trying to be a better newbie, gals.
please teach me! m(_ _)m

bareMinerals Brushes

◦° Full Flawless Face Brush °
A plush, full-tapered brush to deliver the ultimate complexion luxury.
If you prefer more coverage, this versatile brush works great with bareMinerals SPF 15 Foundation, All-Over Face Color, Blush and Mineral Veil. 
Get medium-to-full coverage and a broad range of easy, expert-looking applications for a natural, seamless look.
This brush is made of Goat Hair



◦° Flawless Face Brush °
The lighter multi-purpose brush for the multi-taskers that we are. 
With its soft-tapered, semi-round bristles, this versatile brush works great with bareMinerals SPF 15 Foundation, All-Over Face Color, Blush and Mineral Veil. 
Get light-to-medium coverage and a broad range of easy, expert-looking applications.
With a short handle and its bristles made of ultra soft goat hair.


◦° Comparison between Full Flawless & Flawless Face Brush °

Full Flawless Face Brush jauh lebih round & fluffy dibandingkan dengan Flawless Face Brush yang tampak gepeng :D
Buat apply foundationnya pun seperti namanya, Full Flawless Face Brush lebih memberikan hasil yang mulus, biarpun pake powdernya cuman sedikit.
Sedangkan Flawless Face Brush aku pake untuk apply Warmth All-Over Face Color atau blusher yang lainnya.


◦° Maximum Coverage Concealer Brush °
The smooth, Taklon synthetic bristles of this concealer brush allows full, concentrated coverage that blends into skin flawlessly for broken capillaries, scars, blemishes, conceal and conquer any imperfection. 
That's because the firm, medium-sized brush head holds more SPF 20 Concealer. 
Use a patting technique to cover imperfections before or after applying your foundation, and you'll get maximum coverage that blends completely and doesn't leave a line.

Taklon is a smooth, soft, and somewhat fragile polyester derivative devoid of any protein component or allergen elements and is therefore used in the cosmetic industries as a "green", "vegan", "allergy free" or synthetic alternative to animal hair brushes. (wikipedia said :D )

 
Aku pake Max Coverage Concealer Brush ini untuk apply Well-Rested SPF 20 Eye Brightener.
Kadang-kadang juga untuk apply foundie di bagian yang terdapat dark spot bekas jerawat ato komedo.
Dan memang benar-benar cover!

By the way, entah kenapa kalo kupake apply foundie as concealer di eye area selalu cakey  & sink into lines....
Gara-gara eye cream yang kupake terlalu rich ato emang bareMinerals foundation bikin cakey and creasing di eye area?
Tapi herannya kalo pake Well-Rested lebih smooth dan gampang rata hasilnya.



◦° Flawless Radiance Brush °
A lush large long-layered brush specially designed for bareMinerals Radiance All-Over Face Colors.
The soft, all-natural hairs on the Bare Escentuals Flawless Radiance Brush buff an incredibly sheer layer of color that infuses radiant light into your skin for a soft, glowing, flawless finish.
Brush is made of Goat Hair.
bareMinerals Flawless Radiance Brush ini kubeli di counter waktu ke HK awal tahun 2012 kemarin.
Awalnya lihat nih brush berasa aneh banget karena bulunya panjang wondering dipakenya gimana yah... haha
Ternyata brush ini juga oke banget aku pake buat apply Mineral Veil.

bareMinerals Customizeable 8-piece Get Started Kit

Akhir tahun 2011 kemarin aku order bareMinerals 9-piece Get Started Kit dengan shade Light, melalui salah satu seller di Market Plaza-nya forum Femaledaily.
I'm so excited! ♥♥

Isinya adalah :

- Travel Size Original SPF15 Foundation (Light & Golden Medium)
- Travel Size Original Mineral Veil
- Travel SizeWarmth All-Over Face Color
- Full Flawless Face Brush
- Flawless Application Face Brush
- Maximum Coverage Concealer Brush
- Get Started DVD
- Exclusive bonus : Well-Cared For Brush Conditioning Shampoo

Maap yah isinya udah amburadul, karena ga nahan nepsong pengen cepet-cepet pake wkwkwkwk....
Jadinya ga sempat difoto-foto dulu.
Anyway, karena si nyokap demen banget ma powder & full flawless face brush-nya aku kasi aja deh buat dia hiks...
Sekalian alesan pengen coba beli lagi Matte SPF15 Foundation-nya hihi.

Ini dia penampakan Customizeable 8-piece Get Started Kit.

Bedanya dengan Bare Minerals 9-piece Get Started Kit adalah di paket cutomizable ini kita tidak mendapatkan 2 buah Travel Size Original Foundation (2g), akan tetapi sebagai gantinya kita bisa memilih 1 buah Full Size Foundation yang Original atau Matte (6g), dengan harga untuk Matte lebih mahal $2.


Perbedaan Original dan Matte.
Pada Komposisi Original mengandung Bismuth Oxychloride, sedangkan yang Matte tidak.
Bismuth Oxychloride yang mana diketahui sebagai penyebab timbulnya iritasi, reaksi alergi atau jerawat pada kulit beberapa orang. 


Isinya adalah :
- Full Size SPF15 Foundation (shade customizable in Original or Matte)
- Travel Size Original Mineral Veil
- Travel SizeWarmth All-Over Face Color
- Full Flawless Face Brush
- Flawless Application Face Brush
- Maximum Coverage Concealer Brush
- Get Started DVD
- Sephora Exclusive bonus : Travel Size Prime Time Foundation Primer


Full Size Matte SPF15 Foundation in Light.


Kali ini aku pilih shade Light, imho lebih pas buatku nc25-30.
Karena setelah mencoba Golden Medium mukaku jadi agak kucel, jadinya kupake kalo lagi sering berpanas-panas ria, atau buat shading aja.


The Brushes.
Sama seperti paket sebelumnya, brush yang didapatkan adalah Full Flawless Face Brush, Flawless Application Face Brush, dan Maximum Coverage Concealer Brush.


Travel Size Prime Time Foundation Primer.
Bedanya lagi Customizable ini dengan paket Bare Minerals-ku sebelumnya adalah di paket ini mendapatkan Travel Size Prime Time Foundation Primer.
Sedangkan di paket sebelumnya mendapatkan Well-Cared For Brush Conditioning Shampoo.
Shampoo buat brush ini ga begitu penting menurutku karena bisa direplace menggunakan shampoo bayi yang jauh lebih murah dan mudah didapatkan disini :D
Tapi kalo punya budget lebih boleh juga buat Well-Cared For Brush Conditioning Shampoo ini.
 

Travel Size Original Mineral Veil.
Mineral Veil yang original ini transparant dan memberi kesan glowy pada kulit.
Diaplikasikan setelah memakai foundation.


Travel SizeWarmth All-Over Face Color.
Berfungsi sebagai bronzer. Digunakan sebagai blusher ternyata oke juga.
Tapi cukup pakai sedikitttt saja, kalau kebanyakan apply muka bisa jadi kayak abis ditabokin haha...
Jika diperhatikan ada sedikit shimmer yah.


Valent, nickname seller tempatku beli Bare Minerals di forum Femaledaily ini baik sekali... 
Dia kasi sample Purifying Facial Cleanser yang udah kupengenin coba dari dulu.

I love all bareEscentuals products!
