Pengalaman Dandanin Miss Indonesia dan Menjadi Sariayu Beauty Avengers 2017!

Di malam tanggal 24 April, perasaan aku campur aduk! Gimana engga? Keesokan hari nya aku akan berkesempatan untuk menjadi salah satu Sariayu Beauty Avengers bersama 3 Beauty Blogger dan 4 Fashion Blogger lainnya, Marcella Kikyanto (Querramelca), Fitri Aulia, Kak Ini Vindy, Aldila Sabrina (Lyla Andalucia), Kak Harumi, Cindy Karmoko, dan Vanessa Andrea (cherrydreamy). Excited, tapi super anxious karena aku akan dikasih challenge yang saat itu aku belum di kasih tau challenge nya apa. Tahun lalu aku cuma bisa nonton video Sariayu Beauty Avengers 2016 lewat YouTube aja, ga nyangka tahun ini aku bisa ikut partisipasi! 

Dan keesokan harinya, tanggal 25 April, ternyata kami, para Sariayu Beauty Avengers, dibagi menjadi 4 kelompok. Masing masing kelompok terdiri dari satu Beauty Blogger dan satu Fashion Blogger yang di challenge untuk make over Miss Indonesia 2017! Aku setim dengan Vanessa dan kami ditantang untuk makeup dan juga styling Miss Sulawesi Utara, Runner Up II Miss Indonesia 2017, the gorgeous, Ivanrel Eltrisna Sumerah, dalam waktu yang singkat. Setelah ngobrol ngobrol dengan Miss Sulawesi Utara ternyata she's not only beautiful but also smart and talented! Ohiya, Miss Indonesia yang di dandani oleh tim lain ada Miss Aceh, Sekar Audifa, Miss NTB Achintya Nilsen, dan Miss Sumatera Utara, Friska Olivia Panggabean.

Sariayu Beauty Avengers 2017 ini terinspirasi dari makna "Aku Cantik Indonesia" menurutku Aku Cantik Indonesia adalah kecantikan yang berasal dari hati, dan terceminkan dari perilaku. Kecantikan wanita Indonesia, sangatlah beragam, dan aku berpendapat bahwa dengan memaknai "Aku Cantik Indonesia" kita harus bangga akan keberagaman yang kita miliki, bahwa setiap wanita Indonesia cantik dengan caranya masing masing.

Tema yang aku dan Vanessa angkat untuk makeup dan wardrobe Miss Sulawesi Utara adalah Flowers of Tomohon. Warna warna makeup dan outfit yang kami pilih terinspirasi dari cantiknya warna bunga di Festival Tomohon yang menggambarkan cantiknya wanita Sulawesi Utara dalam keberagamannya. Dan untuk produk makeup yang aku gunakan adalah Two Way Cake shade Light, Sariayu Color Trend Inspirasi Gili Lombok Eyeshadow Kit, Lipstick Apokayan 01, Duo Lip Color GL 05, dan Liquid Eye Shadow GL 03. Range warna dari produk Sariayu ini impressive banget menurutku karena hampir semua warna ada! Untuk eyeshadownya bahkan sampai warna hijau, ungu, dan biru pun ada. Ditambah lagi Liquid Eye Shadow dari Sariayu sangat mudah untuk di aplikasikan. 

Buat kalian yang ingin mencoba produk produk yang aku pakai untuk mendandani Miss Sulawesi Utara, kalian bisa membeli Flowers of Tomohon package di : bit.ly/PaketMissIndonesiaBeautyAvengers2 atau di www.marthatilaarshop.com untuk produk Sariayu lainnya. 

It was one of a kind experience dan aku sangat berterimakasih pada Sariayu untuk pengalaman dan kesempatan yang luar biasa. Terima kasih juga untuk Miss Indonesia, khususnya Miss Sulawesi Utara. It was definitely an honor to be Sariayu Beauty Avengers! Untuk lihat video lengkap Sariayu Beauty Avengers 2017 kamu bisa cek di sini : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JJckJ5IdyI 

ColourPop Lippie Stix Review and Swatches (Frida, Gossip, Leather)

Hello gorgeous! Today i will be reviewing the ColourPop Lippie Stix for you. But before i’m going to the review, i want to announce that i make videos on youTube now! Go check out my first video on the “No Makeup” Makeup Look after reading this blog post please :*

ColourPop is an online brand based on Los Angeles, USA. Their website currently only ships to USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, since i live in Indonesia I have to get this babies from online distributors, specifically from mooishe.com and @dejoyofmakeup (instagram). Both online distributors are trusted and they packaged my order neatly and secure. The prize range is from IDR 115,000 to IDR 125,000. Another plus, ColourPop products are cruelty free and not tested on animals. THE REVIEW First, packaging. The Lippie Stix are packaged in a white simple tube, the size is perfect for you take on the go. On the bottom of the tube there is a color swatch so you can tell which color it is without opening the tube. The tip of the lipstick is small and perfectly shaped for the cupid’s bow, it makes the application so much easier. The product is only 1 g, compared to other lipstick (which usually 3-4 g) you don’t get a lot of product but this is an affordable product ($5 on their website) so i guess it’s worth the money (if you live where they ship directly to you of course). For comparison, i insert a pic of a regular Maybelline Lipstick (4.3 grams) side by side with the Lippie Stix

The product itself has great quality, they are so creamy (even the matte!) , smooth, non-drying, long wearing, and pigmented formula. The matte ones stayed on my lips for 6-7 hours, the satin ones stayed for around 4 hours. The matte one is not completely matte, they do have the slightest shine but this makes them creamy, smooth, and doesn’t tug or drag when applied. Overall i’m impressed with the formula. oh and they do have some sweet scent to them. Swatches

Frida (satin)

Frida is a mixed of peach and pink. A perfect nude that won’t make you look sick! This is my personal favorite, this color is created by CoffeeBreakWithDani Gossip (satin)

Gossip is a bright blue-based pink. I like to call this kind of shade “Barbie Pink”, on my warm skin tone this almost look like a purple-pink. Leather (matte)

Leather is a dark purple/grape color. It is one shade darker than MAC Rebel and a bit more purple. This one will leaves a beautiful berry stain on your lips. OVERALL THOUGHTS I really love this ColourPop Lippie Stix but I wish the prize is not that high.. 5 dollars is like IDR 65,000 but it retails here (as i said) around IDR 115,000 so it is not that “affordable” here in Indonesia than it is in USA. I understand that it is because shipping and etc but for that amount of product i really don’t want to pay that much since Maybelline, Revlon, and Wardah lipsticks are cheaper, give more amount of product and also has a good quality. Yeah so that is my review, i think the ColourPop Lippie Stix is worth the hype and worth checking out! Have a nice day, xo’s Nadya.

Sleek Matte Me Review and Swatches

Hi everyone, hope you’re doing good today. Remember when I post a review of Lime Crime Velvetines? Those are beautiful but quite expensive, and with all the lime crime controversy you might want to try something else to substitute them.

These are the Sleek’s Matte Me, it is also a liquid lipstick that will dry matte. The concepts of this product is similar to the Lime Crime Velvetines. I got it for IDR 168.000 from an online shop on Instagram (@dejoyofmakeup) they sell ready stock makeup from brands that you cannot find in stores in Indonesia. I am quite pleased with this shop since the customer service is great and their packaging is awesome!

So cute right? And they also wrapped my lipsticks with bubble wrap so it’s extra secure! I definitely recommend them for you to check. Here is the product info on their website, “Matte Me is a matte finish liquid lipstick that glides on in one smooth application, with no need for a second coat. The light as air texture provides you with comfortable wear for hours, that doesn’t cake, flake or dry out, ensuring long lasting color all day.” Now, onto my review to see if the product lives up to how it’s claimed.. Packaging wise, I love it. It looks modern, sleek, and expensive looking (when they really aren’t that expensive. The clear glass bottle tells you the color of the product right away. The applicator is a slim sponge applicator and I don’t find it hard to apply on my lips.

The way I review this product will be a comparison to the Lime Crime Velvetines. The product is not tested on animals and available in 6 shades. I only got two, birthday suit and petal. Unlike Lime Crime, the available shades is quite “safe” and “traditional” which I don’t mind. It smells like lipsticks, doesn’t have any added scent to it. The Matte Me takes longer time to dry then the Velvetines, but once it dries it is completely matte. It doesn’t feel sticky right after you apply it but after couple of hours, it will be sticky and flaky it will also start to transfer. This doesn’t stay as long as Velvetines. The pigmentation is good but the lighter color, petal, is streakier when applied, making it hard to get smooth application. Here are some swatches for you!

Petal

Petal is a neutral tone baby pink. On medium to tan skin, it’ll make your skin looks even tanner and give the “exotic” feels to your face. But it is tricky to apply on pigmented lips because it is a light color. Birthday Suit

Birthday Suit is a very natural pink with a bit of brown to it. Depending on your natural lip color, it can be a nude with brown undertone or a brownish pink. I think this color is gorgeous and so wearable, I can see a lot of skin tone looks amazing with this. Pros : Affordable Loving the shades available Quite Long Lasting Con : It is drying and tends to sit on the cracks and lines on your lips ( look at my lip swatch to see the lines) After couple of hours, it will flake, be sticky, and can transfer. Overall : i still think lime crime velvetines are better than this but I prefer the shades on Sleek’s Matte Me.
