Fragrance Haul : Voyage from The Body Shop

Hi Friends! In today’s blogpost I would like to haul this new VOYAGE collection from The Body Shop Indonesia. The collection consists of Eau de Toilette, Fragrance Mist, Shower Gel, Body Cream, and Body Lotion. But in this post I will only show you the Eau de Toilettes.
There are 5 scents in this collection, each of them inspired by the nature from all around the world. First of all, the packaging are extremely beautiful! Love the designs on the boxes and of course I’m also in love with the perfume bottle design. I think it looks gorgeous and luxurious. Somehow they remind me of gems with their beautiful colors. Now let’s go through each scents. Japanese Cherry Blossom
This one is represented by the color of pink. It suits the perfume perfectly, since this one smells very sweet yet fresh, delicate, floral, and feminine. Reminds me of spring with beautiful flower garden. I think a feminine girly girl would enjoy Japanese Cherry Blossom very much. The scents is a blend of magnolia, cherry blossoms, and hinoki wood. Atlas Mountain Rose
Atlas Mountain Rose is represented by a deeper, slightly purple, pink. I love the scent of this one, because it’s sweet yet spicy, very floral and mature at the same time. I feel sexy when I wore it. Very appropriate for a night event or a date night. The scent is a blend of cassis buds, rose, and warm spices. Italian Summer Fig
This new scent is called Italian Summer Fig, obviously it was inspired by the fruit, Fig, from Italy. This smells very fresh! Perfect for summer or for you who likes the smell of nature. Freshly sprayed, it smells like the rainforest, the leaves, the trees, everything green! This scent is a blend of grape leaf, summer fig, and woody facets. Fijian Water Lotus
Fijian Water Lotus to me is a very fresh scent yet still floral. It is very unique, I don’t think I have smelled anything like it before! Smells like the ocean, very calming and fresh. It is a blend of mandarin, water lotus, and marine saltiness. Indian Night Jasmine
Jasmine! One of my personal favorite flower and scent. It has always been brings good, calm vibes. This Indian Night Jasmine is a warm and floral scent. Feels luxurious yet calming to me. If I have to choose only one, it will be this one. It’s a blend of violet leaf, jasmine, and sandalwood. So, that’s it for the haul! The Body Shop is famous for their no testing on animals policy and 100% vegetarian. The scents are formulated fresh from the nature. I definitely enjoy this new voyage collection. I hope my post helped you to find your perfect scents! Love, Nadya.

Naked Smoky Palette Swatches + Mini Review

Hi guys! In this post i’ll be giving you my First Impression for the newest addition of Naked Palette family by Urban Decay, the Naked Smoky!
Packaging is supeeer pretty! Love love the “smoke” pattern this one has. I don’t know what material this packaging is made by, but this is not a tin packaging like Naked 2 & 3. It has a nice sized mirror and magnetic closure.
It also comes with a dual ended brush, one end is a fluffy blending brush and the other end is a short pencil brush. For full review and demo, watch my youtube video here : https://youtu.be/pmrtP3RZMws
the eyeshadows in this palette is definetely more cool toned and perfect for smokey eye look.
(left to right) High : a light peachy champagne with shimmer. the shimmer in here is not too big so it’s not metallic at all. Dirtysweet : a coppery gold with shimmer. this has beautiful pigmentation and not dry at all. Radar : a medium warm toned brown, has micro-glitter so the sheen is not too much. Armour : a super glittery/metallic silver. looks pretty when swatched but has a lot of fall out. Slanted : a satin gray. compared to Armour it is lighter in color and not as glittery. Dagger : a dark cool toned gray, almost look blue to me. it has satin finish. Black Market : an almost matte-satin black. this black does not looks super black like black out. Smolder : a dark purple/plum with satin finish. Password : a matte taupe, it is not too dark but it can gives you definition. Whiskey : a warm medium brown. Combust : a soft matte beige. i was hoping this could be a transition shade for me (i have medium skintone) and it doesn’t really show up on my skin.. maybe if you have light skin it can work for you. Thirteen : i looooove this shade, perfect for browbone because it is a light beige shadow with a satin-matte finish, meaning it’s matte with no glitter or shimmer but it does give you some sheen! Here are some comparison to the other Naked Palette
Okay! Overall i like this palette and will recommend it to you guys. The shadow ranging from light to dark, matte to metallic, and it’s perfect for smokey eye. But i think it’s lacking a matte medium shade for transition. That is for today i hope you guys like the post and have a nice day! xo’s Nadya.

Review : REVLON SuperLustrous Matte Lipstick & Colorstay Skinny Liquid Liner

Hi lovelies! I’m back with another product review for you. This time is about REVLON, mostly I will be talking about the Revlon SuperLustrous Matte Lipsticks, Revlon Colorstay Eyeliner Pencil and Revlon Colorstay Liquid Liner. If you have followed my blog or my Youtube channel since the beginning, you know that I use a lot of Revlon products. They are one of my favorite drugstore brands, affordable and easy to get because they are available on your drugstore and also on department stores. SuperLustrous Matte Lipstick
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick is one of the first lipsticks that was introduced to me by my mother. She loves these lipsticks. Until this day, I believe both my mom and I still have that one sitting on our vanities. Another story, my cousin has sensitive lips, a lot of lipsticks will make her lips super dry due to allergy. Revlon Super Lustrous is one of the few lipsticks that she can wear without being allergic to.
This is a matte lipstick that won’t dried out your lips, it is creamy and glides beautifully when applied. The pigmentation is great and the color won’t be patchy / splotchy. These lipsticks contain Aloe Vera Extract and Vitamin C&E so that’s why they aren’t drying. Available in 8 shades, the shades that I got is Mauve it Over, In the Red, Paradise Pink, and Seductive Sienna. The last two shades mentioned is from their new launch. One tube consist 4.2 g products (which is a lot) and they retail only for Rp 65.000,00. Oh and on the bottom of the tube they got swatches of the shade so it’s easier to tell which is which. SWATCHES
Right-Left : Seductive Sienna, Paradise Pink, In the Red, Mauve it Over 1. Mauve it Over
I must say this is my favorite of the four because (ofcourse) it’s a NUDE lipstick! YASSS! I looove nude lipsticks, you can wear it with any kind of look IMO. This one is a very neutral nude, not too pink, not too peach, and not too brown. A perfect balance. It is light enough to be a nude but not too pale so it doesn’t wash me out. My mom saw me wear this one the other day and she loved it, so I gave this one to her. Yes I know, I’m a good daughter XD 2. In the Red
In the Red is a deep cool tone red. This kind of red is very classy and sexy in my opinion. Plus, it will make your teeth look whiter. I find this shade of red really suits my skintone, so if your skintone is similar to me you might want to try this one out. 3. Paradise Pink
This particular shade screams SUMMER and FUN to me. It’s a bright pink with a hint of coral/orange. It has warm tones so it will make your skin appear brighter if you have warm undertone. 4. Seductive Sienna
I agree of the name, it is a seductive shade! It is a chocolatey red, it’s deep and rich of color. I really like this because it’s a statement but not too bold that it is not wearable for day makeup. Seriously, I would have no problem to wear this lipstick for the day. ColorStay Skinny Liquid Liner and ColorStay Eyeliner Pencil
I have use the original Revlon Colorstay Liquid Liner so I’m excited to try the “skinny” version! The difference is on the felt tip applicator, this one is skinnier so you can make a very thin line with this. Honestly I don’t have any problem with the original, but this one does make it even easier for me.
the tip is ultra fine, it’s 0.1 mm!
As you can see, I’m able to make a very thin line as well as a perfect winged eyeliner with this fine tip. The color is very pigmented and it’s also a waterproof formula. I already know I’m going to like this one because I like the original version and this one is even better because of the ultra fine tip.
I never tried the eyeliner pencil before so this is my first time, it is an automatic / twist eyeliner pencil so you don’t have to sharpen it. This is also waterproof so it should be great on the lower waterline.
I used this pencil on my lower lashline as well on my waterline and I like both ways. It doesn’t smudge on my eyes (yay!) and this has creamy texture so it won’t hurt when you use it to tightline your eyes. Because both of the eyeliner claim to be waterproof, I decided to put them on a test!
Just applied (look how pigmented and how thin of a line the liner can make)
After I run it under the sink
After I wiped it (while wet) I am happy and satisfied with the result! It doesn’t move when it’s wet as long as you don’t rub / wipe it. Even after I wiped it, the liquid just move a bit and the pencil stays quite the same! So I agree on the waterproof claim. I did my makeup using of the products mentioned and here is the result!
So, that’s all for my today’s blogpost I hope you guys find it helpful and you’re having a nice day! xo’s Nadya Aqilla.

Review : Maybelline The Nudes & Velvet Matte

Hi lovelies! Today i’m bringing you another DRUGSTORE product review, isn’t it exciting?:D For detailed review, swatches, and demo/tutorial please watch my video below : https://youtu.be/XUv_NfgLjes Since my last post is pretty lengthy, i’m gonna keep this one short and sweet. Maybelline The Nudes Eyeshadow Palette
The colors are gorgeous. I thought the gold one will be dupe for UD Half Baked but it is not pigmented :( Pros : Affordable Price, Rp 150,000.00 Available on Maybelline counters. Small and lightweight packaging. The eyeshadows are well chosen, 7 shimmer with 5 mattes ranging from light, medium, to dark shades. Eyeshadow quality is medium in my opinion. Not wow but not blah. Cons : You need to wear primer if you want this eyeshadow to stay all day. You need to take your time on blending. Not the most creamy eyeshadow but not too powdery either. Few eyeshadows are not pigmented. Overall : I think this palette is great for its price, if you are a beginner this is perfect. It’s affordable, full of neutral shades, and it has guidance for several makeup look on the back of this palette. Not the best eyeshadows (IMO) but not terrible either. 2. Maybelline Velvet Matte
Pros : Pigmented and not patchy. Applicator made application easy. Creamy and doesn’t dried out my lips. Cute packaging, resembles the elixirs a lot. Wear time, around 4 hours. Cons : Is not smudgeproof This is not like liquid lipsticks so don’t expect it too stay all day. Overall: I really liked this product, would recommend to someone that has dry lips but want a semi-matte finish. Since the texture is more creamy, it is comfortable to wear. That is for today’s post i hope this was helpful 😉 have a good day off! xo’s Nadya – urbanbeaute.com

Sephora Collection x Luxola.co.id Review & Tutorial “Holiday Makeup”

Hi lovelies! Pasti udah pada tau dong tentang Sephora, kalian udah pada cobain makeup dari Sephora Collection sendiri belum?
Karena aku pun sebelumnya belum pernah coba, aku excited banget pas denger Sephora Collection sekarang bisa didapat lewat online di website Luxola.co.id !! Pas banget kan momennya untuk aku cobain produk Sephora ini.
Di Luxola, para pencinta makeup bisa belanja kosmetik lewat online dengan aman, tanpa takut barang yang fake ataupun kena tipu. Semua barang yang dijual di Luxola udah ada sertifikat BPOM nya, jadi kita ga perlu khawatir. Untuk order dan tracking barang pesanan juga mudah kok, semuanya lewat website Luxola jadi gaperlu lewat Contact Person dulu. Aku ngerti banget, pasti kalian banyak yang suka belanja makeup online karena praktis tapi takut ketipu. Luxola ini salah satu tempat belanja online yang sudah terpercaya. Ada review atau ulasan dari customers lainnya, jadi kalian bisa cek dulu sebelum beli. Psstt! Barang nya juga ready kok, gapake PO sist (; Benefit lainnya, deskripsi produk yang tersedia di Luxola.co.id itu lengkap banget.
Free delivery kalau total belanjaan kalian lebih dari Rp 200.000 loh. Udah gitu waktu delivery nya termasuk cepat, aku order tanggal 24 November dini hari dan pesanan aku sampai tanggal 25 November siang hari.
Nah ini dia bentuk bungkusan produk ku ketika sampai di rumah. Rapi dan pakai bubble wrap supaya ga ada yang pecah. Sakit hati gak sih kalau beli makeup baru eh barangnya pecah atau retak
REVIEW Oke! Sekarang ke bagian review produk nya ya. I got 4 Sephora Collection products, Microsmooth Sculpting, Colorful Blush, Colorful Shadow & Liner, dan Cream Lip Stain. Yuk kita lihat satu persatu : Sephora Collection Microsmooth Sculpting in 03 Sultry
Ini adalah trio yang terdiri dari Highlighter, Blush, dan Bronzer. Powders ini sangat finely mild, ga powdery atau patchy. Bebas paraben, sulfat, dan phtalat (yay!). Blush dan bronzer nya sangat pigmented tapi tenang aja, ini sangat mudah di blend kok. Blush dan bronzernya matte-satin, jadi selain kasih warna “cerah” di wajah, ada efek natural glowing nya juga. Partikel shimmer yang ada di highlighternya juga termasuk kecil, kasih efek dewy glow tanpa terkesan “basah”. Packaging wise, i love it. Sangat sleek dan modern.
03 Sultry Bronzer : Warm medium brown with matte-satin finish Blush : Warm Peach with small gold shimmer Highlighter : Light champagne color with micro shimmer Sephora Collection Colorful Blush in 06 Flirt it Up
Sekilas shade ini kelihatan seperti warna peach tapi ternyata lebih ke rosy pink. Sukaaa banget warnanya, pink tapi warm jadi cocok dengan warm complexion aku. Ohiya yang aku punya ini finish nya matte. Teksturnya ga powdery dan mudah di blend. Pigmentasinya pas buat blush, ga terlalu pigmented jadi ga medok pas dipake di wajah. Ukurannya ga terlalu besar dan ringan jadi enak untuk dibawa bawa buat touch up. Staying power is awesome! Semua produk yang aku review hari ini tahan seharian di wajah aku.
06 Flirt it Up Rosy warm pink blush Sephora Colour Shadow & Liner in Taupe
Kalau yang satu ini 2in1, bisa dipakai sebagai eyeshadow dan juga eyeliner. Di tutorial nanti aku akan pakai sebagai eyeshadow. Kalau kalian familiar dengan produk brand lain yang setipe dengan ini, biasanya harus di set dengan powder eyeshadow lagi supaya tahan lama. Tapi yang ini engga! Aku sampai kaget sendiri loh. Aku pakai produk ini di eyelid tanpa primer dan tanpa di set lagi, tapi tahan seharian mungkin karena ini waterproof ya (keep in mind that my eyelid is not too oily). Tipe pensil ini yang perlu kamu raut ya bukan tipe pensil yang di putar.
Taupe Cool toned taupe with a hint of violet Sephora Cream Lip Stain
Ini adalah pesanan yang aku paling tunggu tunggu. I’ve heard so many good things about these Cream Lip Stain. Orang orang bilang tekstur nya creamy jadi ga buat bibir kering walaupun matte dan tahan lama. Aku bisa dibilang picky masalah liquid lipstick karena bibirku super kering. Jadi ga bisa pakai yang teksturnya benar benar liquidy, tapiiiii aku juga gasuka yang teksturnya sticky (padahal biasanya yang sticky lebih moisturizing) serba salah kan.
Pas aku cobain ini, aku langsung jatuh cinta! Sekali swipe langsung pigmented banget ga patchy sama sekali, di build up juga ga masalah. Setelah kering ini jadi smudgeproof dan tahan lama, hanya akan fade kalau kalian makan makanan yang super berminyak. And guess what? Ini sangat nyaman dipakai, ga bikin kering dan ga lengket. Malah pernah aku sampai lupa kalau aku lagi pakai lipstick dan kaget sendiri pas ngaca haha. Pas aku cek deskripsi di website Luxola ternyata ini ada Vitamin E nya, oh pantes aja ga bikin kering.. Aplikator nya doe foot dan aku ga punya masalah dalam menggunakan aplikator ini. Satu lagi, wanginya enak bangeeeet, kayak kue!
Always Red Neutral-Classic Red Kalau kalian tertarik untuk beli produk produk diatas ataupun Sephora Collection lainnya, sekarang saatnya karena Luxola berbaik hati untuk kasih teman teman pembaca blog aku COUPON CODE 20% OFF untuk semua produk, kecuali produk non-discountable yang list lengkapnya bisa dilihat di www.luxola.co.id/faq. Tinggal masukin code ini, ILX-NADYA ketika kalian checkout ya di bagian promo code. Code valid until 31st December for first time shopper so grab ’em while the discount lasts! TUTORIAL Now, to the tutorial.. Kali ini aku buat makeup yang lebih fokus di bibir. Riasan mata nya cukup netral namun tetap cocok untuk acara formal, party, dan tentunya musim musim Holiday seperti sekarang ini. Kalau kalian mau pakai makeup look ini untuk sehari hari juga bisa, tinggal diganti aja lips shade nya 😉 FACE
1. Aku sudah selesaikan foundation dan alisku, kalau kalian mau tau cara aku pakai keduanya kalian bisa klik di sini dan di sini 2. Pertama aku akan pakai bronzer dari Microsmooth Sculpting di bagian luar wajahku untuk memberi dimensi dan memberi warna di wajah. Warna bronzer nya yang hangat, buat wajahku ga kelihatan pucat dan terlihat lebih sehat. 3. Setelah itu aku tambahkan Colorful Blush dengan shade flirt it up di apple of the cheek untuk kesan yang lebih segar. Bisa dilihat setelah pakai blush ini wajahku terlihat seperti berseri-seri dengan natural. 4. Kemudian aku ambil highlighter dari Microsmooth Sculpting di bagian wajahku yang lebih menonjol sperti tulang hidung tulang pipi dan diatas alis. Fungsinya untuk memberi dimensi di wajah dan memberi efek dewy glowing skin. 5. Finished look on my face makeup 😉 6. Di bibirku, aku ulaskan Cream Lip Stain dengan warna Always Red yang sangat mengingatkan aku dengan bombshell di era vintage seperti Marilyn Monroe. EYE
1. Aku mulai tanpa primer. Produk yang aku pakai cukup tahan lama dan pigmented sehingga kamu tidak perlu pakai primer lagi. 2. Menggunakan bronzer dari Microsmooth Sculpting aku akan memberi lipatan mata ku definisi. Ini juga kulakukan agar eyeshadowku nanti lebih mudah diblend. Bronzer ini juga bagus dipakai sebagai eyeshadow karena cukup pigmented. 3. Dengan Colorful Shadow & Liner aku mengcover semua bagian kelopak mata ku mulai dari garis bulu mata hingga lipatan mata. Finishnya yang shimmery membuat shade ini sangat cocok untuk Holiday and Party Looks. 4. Di area kantung air mata dan tulang alis, akan aku highlight menggunakan warna yang paling muda di Microsmooth Sculpting. Ini aku lakukan untuk memberi efek mata yang lebih “open” dan segar. 5. Aku tambahkan mascara di bulu mata atas dan bawah, serta eyeliner hitam. No classic makeup is complete without black winged eyeliner! 😉 There you go! Sangat mudah tapi tetap glam kan? Overall, produk dari Sephora Collection yang aku coba kualitasnya oke banget! Menurutku mereka pantas lebih banyak di omongin orang orang. Harga produk Sephora ini ga semahal brand luxury lainnya tapi kualitasnya bagus. Kalau drawback nya hanya tidak adanya kaca di kedua powder compact, produknya sendiri sih aku gaada komplen apa apa. Pengalaman belanja di Luxola juga enak, mudah, dan nyaman. Sering ada promo, delivery nya cepat, dan website nya jelas plus mudah dinavigasikan. Segitu dulu dari aku untuk post kali ini, aku harap ini membantu kalian ya. Jangan lupa masukin kode ILX-NADYA ketika checkout untuk dapet diskon 20% ketika kalian belanja di Luxola.co.id.
