My Pink Dusk

Summer Essentials

Hi Readers,

So sorry that it's been too long since my last post ~it's almost a year I know~, And actually I had so many contents in mind to be updated on my blog, but I just didn't have a chance to touch my laptop in the past months.

I've been juggling within the house chores, taking cares my family and planning for my brand's project, so blogging just didn't my priority anymore ~even though I still constantly updated my outfits on instagram~. Thus if you wanted to check the my newest fashion inspiration then I humbly suggest to follow my instagram instead.

I've been here because I just loved to write and share story but it's not my main task, so please bear with my laziness in updating new post. And since my latest ootd would be update in my instagram first, then this blog would be prioritize to share my beauty review ~because I couldn't write too long caption on instagram, meanwhile a review need many thoughts and considerations to explain so readers would understand and not misleaded~. So that's why..

So back to the main topic for this post again, I would share about my favorite outfit of all, especially for summer time which was.. a maxi dress! I've been in love with maxi dress for some times and always bought another one if I found a good one ~it's really hard to find maxi dress in my country, and usually I always bought it from H&M~. So I always loved plain maxi dress than the one with patterns, because it's easier to mix and match with any other outfits, for any styles I wanted.

Most of the time, I usually paired it with cardigans ~so many type of cardigans; transparent-beach cardigans, knits, laces and more~, or see-through lace tops and sometimes blouses ~to make the maxi dress looked as a skirt~. And this time, I went with a simple one to pair it with beach cardigan and a hat, to get a boho style ~which I loved the most~, and it felt very summer already.. ~lol~ Please check out!

PIXY ~ MAKE IT GLOW DEWY CUSHION

noreply@blogger.com (Ariany Chandra Tanaya) — Mon, 29 Oct 2018 11:03:00 +0000

💕 Beauty Review 💕

Hello Readers,

Finally a new beauty post on my blog! This time is a review about a new range of beauty products called Make It Glow from Pixy Cosmetics Indonesia. This Make It Glow series were including Cushion, Primer and Powdery Cake; but in this post I would only review about the cushion which I already tested.

FYI, It's been a long journey for me to find the right cushion for my skin, and to fulfill my expectation about how my face would look like. That's why I was so excited to try this new cushion from Pixy Indonesia because I already used their products since my high school era.

I usually used a Korean brand's cushion for the past few years, even though I have tried other cushion like Maybelline from the latest collaboration with Gigi Hadid, but it just didn't feel right for me. Btw, you could check my honest review about this Gigi x Maybelline here.

So back to this Pixy's cushion that I recently tried, at first I would like to write about the packing. If you hold the cushion's packing, you would find that the plastic material for this packing was kinda low grade ~felt like a cheap plastic packing~ compared to some Korean brand's cushions, or at least the brand that I used before, or compared to Maybelline's cushion that I had. But since Pixy had chose the correct color for their packing, so the cushion wouldn't look so cheap from far. Instead, it looked elegant and luxurious I would say, so it was fine until you hold it. But from my point of view, this kind of plastic packing would hold on better if it ever fell from your hands.

Secondly was about the tone colors. I was choosing the lightest tone from all which was 101 Light Beige, but once again, it was not suitable for my skin. Maybe because it was produced locally to match mostly women skin tone in Indonesia, so personally this tone was still too yellowish for me and made my face look darker instead of brightening my face. Or maybe because I was accustomed with Korean brand's cushion which was more light and used to have a brighten effect from their cushion. So I'd say, this cushion wasn't met my expectation either.

Next was about the quality. I must admitted that this cushion has a good coverage and blended right into your skin just few second after it applied. For me, it's enough to cover my uneven skin tone but still couldn't cover my dark spots. So I thought it has medium coverage level. After few hours after I applied it, the result wasn't cakey and didn't wear off even when my face was sweaty. It was good enough for my active hours without the need to retouch it.

The good thing from this cushion for me was their very affordable price. When you would get a Korean cushion with price around 200k to 500k, but this cushion was only around 100k for full package! Even it was cheaper from the cushion's refill for some Korean Brand I knew. And it would really a saving for my expenses if only the tone was just right for my skin.

So if you were interested with affordable products with good quality ~and good local brand product~, you absolutely need to try this cushion. And they said, this entire Make It Glow series was only available on Pixy's official account on Shopee. So here is the link where you could shop this products. Happy Shopping & thanks me later girls!! Xoxo~

Back To Work

noreply@blogger.com (Ariany Chandra Tanaya) — Tue, 31 Jul 2018 15:21:00 +0000

Finally back to work after a long holiday ~or in my case, a long hiatus~ could be a challenge, since I haven't posted anything related to work recently on my Instagram ~I lost some followers, duh~ or update this fashion blog of mine. Because being a full time mom to my second son is a real challenge as well ~my first son was taking cared by his grandma while I was working in a manufacture company then I decided to quit after gave birth to my second son~. I'm still learning to manage my time between my sons, house works and my job. And unfortunately, my job is the least priority so pardon me if I'm in very slow update. Like this latest outfits which photographed since June but I just could update this post recently.

This post was bringing the theme ' Back to Work ' because mostly of Indonesian employees were had a long holiday last June so the theme was sound just right ~if only I updated this post right after the holiday was ended~. But anyway, this outfits could be an inspiration for working attire generally so I think it's not a big problem if I was late to update.

Just a little bit background for the top, I had this top since last year but just had a chance to take pictures earlier this year because it's delayed due to my pregnancy. So you might remember back in 2017 that Bell Sleeves were so in and many brands were released their own tops with bell sleeves to follow the trend.

Actually, this top could be more perfect for work if you matched it with Pencil Skirt or Culotte Pants. I tried to wear it more casual since I used this outfits for cafe hopping at the time, but I think you could get the big picture of it. So, if you want to get this kind of look, you may check previous collections ~last year collections~ of your favorite brands and voila..

GIGI X MAYBELLINE

noreply@blogger.com (Ariany Chandra Tanaya) — Tue, 15 May 2018 14:03:00 +0000

💕 Beauty Review 💕

Finally, a review for the hottest makeup collections recently. Yes, it's a collaboration products between Gigi Hadid and Maybelline New York!

This Gigi x Maybelline collections was released in USA first then following in Europe and Asia earlier this year. That's why I got a little late on the review ~beside I also did occupied everyday~. So let's continue..

The collections was divided into two selections which were called East Coast and West Coast. East Coast was a selection with nude and earthy tone which we usually saw on Gigi's daily make up, while West Coast was a selection with more bold tone as Gigi often wore for social appearance or red carpet invitation. This collections also had one on-the-go palette called Jesetter Palette which really suitable and reflected Gigi's lifestyle as a model who traveled around the world.

In this post, I would only review about the products that I used which suitable for me and hope it would help you to decide your perfect match. I got myself the BB Cushion, Eyebrow Pencil, Fiber Mascara and the lipstick of course.. Firstly, could we talk about the packaging? The outer packaging for this collections was so futuristic in silver. It might be reflect the youth generation Gigi was born at ~a Millennial~. Meanwhile the products' packaging was in sweet soft pink which looked so feminine alright. I love the pink packing so much!!

♥ BB Cushion

Firstly, I was going to review about the BB Cushion which was a limited edition for Asian market. The shade that I chose was Natural, but for a woman with fair skin, this natural shade was still too dark. So I didn't really like this shade because it made my face looked darker than my original skin tone. I suggested for all women with fair skin to choose Light shade instead.

This BB Cushion has medium coverage so it could make my skin looked even and covered up my dark spots nicely ~Or is it because the shade was to dark for my skin?~ The matte finishing for this BB Cushion was as same as Maybelline Liquid Powder which have launched first before these Gigi's collections released ~you would know what I was talking about if you have tried the product~

I have tried a BB Cushion with dewy finishing before ~it's a Korean brand~ but then I was really looking for a good matte BB cushion recently because I wasn't really fond into dewy look. And as for this product, honestly I would only gave the score 7.5/10 since it wasn't meet with my expectation very much. But I did love the packaging!! Here's the thing~

♥ Eyebrow Pencil

The second product that I would love to review was the Brow Pencil. The shade I chose was Brown, because I usually had light eyebrow color for my makeup ~My favorite eyebrow pencil was from a Japanese brand~ and even though this shade was not as light as I used to but the result was quite natural on me.

This brow pencil has triangle shape which would help you to create the arch of your eyebrows easier. And the tip of the brow pencil was soft and would glide smoothly on your eyebrows. But in my opinion, it was too soft so it would wasteful in each stroke you did repeatedly.

However, the brow pencil was the only favorite product I had from this entire collection.

♥ Fiber Mascara

This Fiber Mascara was a tricky one. If you couldn't apply it properly then your lashes would be looking weird with uneven lashes' length. But if you could apply it correctly, then it would make your lashes looked longer and thicker.

The mascara was only available in Black and has two brushes in its both ends. One brush was for the fiber and one for the mascara. The brush for black mascara was fat and dense. To be honest, I didn't really like this kind of brush because it couldn't separate my lashes perfectly. So this mascara wasn't my favorite either.

♥ Lipstick

Lastly, let's talk about the lipstick. The East Coast collection has three shades of lipstick which were called Mccall, Taura and Erin. Unfortunately, in my country, these lipsticks were sold out in no time and it's hard to collect all the shades. So in the end, I could only get Mccall which was my second favorite of the shades. My most favorite shades was Taura but it was already sold out and hard to find it anywhere, so I grabbed a chance to get Mccall rather than nothing.

Mccall was the palest shade from the three of East Coast Collection. It was actually a sweet soft pink shade. But sadly, since my lips has already in its natural pink color so this lipstick wasn't doing much different in me. The texture was smooth and it glide nicely on my lips but it's not really pigmented at all. So overall, it's not my favorite product either.

In the end, the conclusion for my review about this product was that they didn't exactly as I hoped for. The products' quality was so average but the plus thing was they were so affordable! And also have a really nice packing! For me personally, this collection hasn't replace any of my current favorite makeup products at all. But I did hope they would do great things for you since we're all certainly had difference preference. So see ya in next review! Xoxo~

Loreal X Balmain

noreply@blogger.com (Ariany Chandra Tanaya) — Mon, 26 Feb 2018 13:05:00 +0000

💕 Beauty Review 💕

Hello guys, finally my first post in 2018 after a long absent during my pregnancy. So after gave birth to a beautiful baby boy last year, now I'm ready to work on my blog again. Let's catch up!

As for this first post, I'm going to write my thought about a new and one of the most awaiting beauty product this year ~ it's a lipstick, to be exact ~, which was a collaboration between two famous brands in their own expertise. Also, these two brands are some of my favorite among the others. I'm sure that you already knew what I'm talking about here!

So recently, L'Oréal ~which expert in beauty industry~ and Balmain ~which expert in fashion industry~ have been collaborated together to create a wonderful lipstick series. And you knew that it's not just one but there were three series at once. So this lipstick series were basically a meet end between beauty and fashion visions.

They launched three series ~or they called it Tribe~ to present three fashion genre. They were Glamazone, Rock and Couture with four shades in each tribe. And as for this post, I would only use the colors from Couture which matched my fashion style best.

Firstly let's talk about the packaging. The Couture Tribe has black casing with Balmain logo engraved on it and L'Oreal logo engraved on the gold list. It's so simple, and classy, yet definitely screaming an exclusivity of a high end brand like Balmain and L'Oreal were. Elegance was the perfect presentation from this tribe which befitted its name.. 'Couture'.

The Couture Tribe consist of Confidence, Confession, Domination and Liberation. But I passed Liberation shade because I've never fond of purple shade and it couldn't use in my daily makeup for outing. So let's going for the review for each shades below..

Confidence

Confidence is the lightest shade in the Couture Tribe. It's a soft pink color with gold glitters inside. But when I was using this shade, I didn't see much change on my lips. It's maybe because the color shade already as same as my pink lips so it only made my lips shimmering in gold because of the glitters. For me this shade was less pigmented as I wish it to be.

Confession

Confession was the medium shade from the tribe. It was a red-orange tone and seems like a red brick color shade for me. This shade was pigmented enough, so the more you applied it, the more orange it would be.

Domination
Domination was the most bold color in the tribe before Liberation ~which was a dense purple shade~. It was a bright red tone ~or should I say classy red or Taylor Swift's red? lol~ and it's super pigmented. Applied it once and you're ready to go with a classy and elegant look.

Overall, I fell in love with this collection since the first time I knew about it. And I was really excited to try Confidence at first but the it's turned out far from my expectation, so now I loved Domination more. I loved being classy and Domination was perfect for a party or a night out for me, while the other shades would better for daily look ~at work or grocery time~. Below was the color swatches for Couture Tribe's shades that I had..

PINK VINTAGE

noreply@blogger.com (Ariany Chandra Tanaya) — Sun, 19 Feb 2017 07:17:00 +0000

New post in February, the month of love!

Sorry for the long vacant update. Actually quite busy with daily life recently so I was being distracted from blogging in a while. My home was under renovation and to be honest, I had a lot to think about recently. Hope my fellow readers would understand and bear with me for a short moment when I was occupied.

As we're still in Valentine's week, so here I was going to post an outfit in pink. And since Spring will also come soon, I just felt it was the right time to publish this post. Actually I had this pictures taken since last year and just going to post it in the right moment. Then it is the time!

I always loved vintage for years! I loved it in furnitures or accessories and more in fashion style. I loved ball gowns, ruffles, laces, sequins, bell sleeves and all the other vintage styles that you could name it. That's why I preferred classy as one of my signature style, since it would be impossible to walk in a ball gowns on the street out of nowhere. I just thought that being classy is timeless and would easily fit in just everywhere than vintage.

I had this pink top of mine for years, before I decide to do blogging and bought it in flea market for a really cheap price. I just loved the color and the style, and instantly fell in love to it so I just bought this top without the second thought. It seems like I had this strong pulls for fashion since a long time. For me, my fashion should be unique and details were everything, without being too much of course.

Hope you'll love this style like I do!

First post in 2017!! (Phew.. Finally..!!)

Firstly, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you guys! Hope you all had a wonderful holiday in the past weeks! My holiday were only contain snuggling at home, BBQ and watched firework ~pretty ordinary I know~, but wish you guys had a better holiday than me..

So for my first post in this year is about my outfit on Christmas day. A little bit late I know since I was got sick a day after new year and still in recovery until now. That's why this post is sooo late and I'm very sorry about it.

Straight to the content about my Christmas' outfit, this time I was also wearing white like previous year because frankly speaking, it was one of my favorite color. I always love elegant and classy look, because it's simple yet sophisticated. So I combined my white dress with a knitting shawl and a pair of soft pink platform with matching pink customized sling bag. I surely love the total look of this outfit and hope you'll do.

Here are the pictures and see you in the next post!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Basically Halloween

It's two weeks after Halloween and I know it's a little bit too late for Halloween's post. But my post isn't about something scary or dress up pictures for Halloween this time. It's only a look which inspired by Halloween, and it also suitable for your fall outfit!

Halloween is always identical with something scary and dark outfit, so.. black is always a preferable one for that night. But since I mostly love monochrome style recently, so I tried to mix and match this monochrome collar top in British style with a pair of jeans and boots. A wide hat would complete the look and it wasn't only suitable for Halloween night, it also perfect for your stroll in the Fall.

And as for the photoshoot's place this time, it took at a park which already decorated with Halloween's ornaments to build the vibe. I was trying to find a place as beautiful as possible to capture the closest thing possible about Halloween as the real one in another country. I really love this park and you would know why..

Like Kylie

noreply@blogger.com (Ariany Chandra Tanaya) — Fri, 04 Nov 2016 16:08:00 +0000

First post in November and hope you guys had a fabulous Halloween this week! So this time I'm going to post about my latest endorsement cloth which is my favorite recently, because this cloth is a jumpsuit ~I've always loved jumpsuit~ and really had this Kylie Jenner's vibe ~with lace and tight shape cutting~.

Recently I've been following her style on Instagram and really inspired by her, because you know that she's a little bit curvy at the bottom ~a.k.a having a plump buttock like her sister~. I thought her style was a little bit suited me well since I've always been curvy ~more like pear shape body~ in my life. I have this regret feeling about me being curvy ~or fat, you could say~ at my teens, but ever since I knew about Kim K and Kylie J, my thought was "I'm lucky with this curve". All I need to do is more exercise to shape my body into healthy pear shape body like her. So you also need to start believing that big boobs with plump buttock girls could be beautiful too. And all you need to do is trained your body to shape a fine line curve.

I know that Kardashians and Jenners family were always have their own controversial life, but one positive thing that I could be thankful about from them was the fact that they're trendsetting the beautiful view of curvy body. Aside from the rumors that Kim's buttock was fake, but what's my problem with it? Mine was real and more girls out there who have big buttock and they need some confidence booster about their body. They need positive views and comments to have confidence and to believe that they're also beautiful, even in a different way from what the world want to see.

I believe that every girls are beautiful and the things they need are only confidence and acceptance, so they could bring out the inner beauty that they've always hold inside. Maybe Katy Pery's song, Firework is the best interpretation about most of us. So have you believe in yourself that you're beautiful no matter what your shape is? Always believe that Diversity makes this world more beautiful and worth to living.. Xoxo~

Birthday Photo Series ~ GOLDEN GIRL

noreply@blogger.com (Ariany Chandra Tanaya) — Sun, 23 Oct 2016 15:46:00 +0000

" Never too old to dream, and never too late to make it come true "

💮 💮 💮

Finally the last concept of my birthday photo series! Thanks to all readers who has been read out all the posts, all the vendors and sponsors who helped out to make all of these came true. A very special thanks to husband who took all the pictures, my son and sister who helped out on the studio.

This fifth concept was only about how I feel about my birthday and my ages. Despite the fact that I'm way much older, but I still have more dreams to overcome, have much works to do to make my life even more better ~and no regrets of course~. It was like my golden step-stone to even work harder for everything I love and everything that I dream of.

Wishing in my more mature ages, I could do things more meaningful for all around me, my family, ~or maybe for myself~. My family is my everything! They are the ground where I stand, a wall on my back and hands that cares. Love them much ~like I knew~, they also loves me back as much or even much more..

I have much wishes this year aside about work, but it also for my family and myself. I do really hope it would be come true in the right time, and I do hope that I could make another interesting birthday photo series next year. Also thanks for followers on my Instagram who has been joined my first giveaway this year. Special thanks to bloggers friends, family and friends who have been help me to spread out the event! I hope I could host another giveaway with more interesting gifts soon and congratulation for the two winners this year! See you in my next birthday photo series and birthday giveaway, then here are the pictures.. Xoxo!

" It's okay to be classy, but never be trashy! "

💮 💮 💮

Welcome to the fourth concept of my birthday photo series, and we're getting closer to the last concept. This concept was the simplest concept from all others, and most classy.

Like the previous concept, Vixen, this concept's idea also just appeared after I received the sponsorship/endorsed clothes. Since I've always been in love with monochrome look and classy British style, that's why this concept was perfect for me.

I've been in love with classy British style since 2013 when I knew about Eleanor Calder, then I just loved monochrome style since last year. Both of these styles have been one of my guidelines for the entire wardrobe I had and my fashion signature ever since..

💮 💮 💮

It's time for the third concept of my birthday photo series which was also my favorite concept! Before anything else, please pardon me for the update delay, because I was a little bit unwell for the past week. Hope you'll be patient for the next update.

Back to the concept's behind the scene, this concept actually a last minutes decision after I received my endorsement package just a day before the photo session day. Fortunately this top was suitable for my whole birthday concept and I love the idea which popped up in my mind right away. Previously, I already prepared a hair piece ~the very first collection and custom-made hair piece from Ageha by aia chan~, and it turned out blend in beautifully with the style I imagined for this concept.

I really want to express a sensual image! A little bit naughty but also a strong will woman. Something like Seductress yet smart. Charming yet a little bit manipulative. A dark beauty that would enchanted the others, but they also should need to be cautious around her in the same time. A temptress!

I really loved all the results! All the accessories was just perfect like I wanted it to be. The top was the main core of the style and the accessories completed all the concept vibe. The all black fashion style was everything to built the atmosphere and the camera could catch my expression and feeling so well at the time. Like I was a Vixen, and I would lure you all to something mysterious and twist beyond your imagination..

Welcome to the second concept of my birthday photo series! Actually I wasn't thought deeply about this concept and the idea about this concept only popped out in the last day before the photo schedule. This concept was the easiest and simplest, but turned out to be the quite enchanted one, and this was my second favorite concept so far!

The title of the concept itself inspired from the style of my top and also my expressions in every pictures. I almost named this concept as Siren but then I thought again that Nymph would be more beautiful and elegant, but still has the alluring and enchanting vibe as Siren.

Birthday Photo Series ~ WICKED

noreply@blogger.com (Ariany Chandra Tanaya) — Wed, 31 Aug 2016 15:56:00 +0000

" You'll be surprise with every mischievous things I had in mind "

💮 💮 💮

Welcome to my very first Birthday photo series ever! I really want to do something bigger and different from my usual OOTD pictures, so I took my Birthday moment as one of my milestones in this blogging journey and hope I could offer more interesting projects in the future.

Firstly, I was just thinking about one photo concept. But later, it turned out to be five concept in total. It's really thanks to all endorsers who offered me more clothes and accessories in last minutes preparation, so all the concept's result were very satisfying!

My first concept in this post was a theme called "WICKED", because I was thinking about something dark but beautiful, it's alluring yet dangerous and you couldn't play with it. I was inspired from something like a dark witch outfit for this concept at first ~even I was thinking to buy Harry Potter's wand! lol~, and it was really hard to create and visualize this concept from my mind into real life figure.

I tried to prepare the closest thing I thought about a witch-kind-of-things in the past weeks, and I could say it's 80% close from the concept I've imagined. From the black outfit, wide hat and bloody red lipstick, everything just vizualized a Wicked Witch in my mind. Even without a hat on, she could be so charming and all!

Witch's Pouch CC Cream

noreply@blogger.com (Ariany Chandra Tanaya) — Sat, 13 Aug 2016 15:19:00 +0000

💕 Beauty Review 💕

New beauty review today, and this time I will share my experience when using Witch's Pouch Color Corrector or usually simply called as CC cream. And as my previous product from Witch's Pouch, I also got this from my latest collaboration with Althea Korea. You could read the story about this in here.

I have used it for over a week until now, on purpose to examine the result on my skin day after day with many various kind of treatments, so I could tell you guys based on my actual experience. And as for the starter, let's talked about the product itself first.

When I first knew about this brand, I straightly fell in love with the brand concept and their packaging design. Then this CC cream has a classic black and white packing that made me fell in love easily, because I love classy and vintage things. And this CC Cream product, as many other Korean brand products was also had SPF50+ PA+++ which my most preferable beauty product remembering my place of living. It claimed to have 6 in 1 function including UV protecting, moisturizing, whitening, anti wrinkle, covering, correcting. Then let's talked about my experience when using this product.

I was getting myself this CC cream in Natural Beige color, which maybe the same as N21 for Korean beauty product tone. When I opened the cap, I found a foil seal to protect the product content. It could easily remove and it's ready to use. When I pushed out the cream, it was in white color at first. Then after I smeared the cream so many times, it would turn into beige. It absorbed quite fast in my skin when applied and not leaving sticky texture on my hands, also it's not too dewy in my face.

These were my conclusion about the 6 in 1 functions that they claimed, after I tried this product. About the UV protecting, well it said it has SPF50++ so that was protected enough for your skin. About moisturizing thing, I didn't feel it clearly because I was used a moisturizing skincare first before applying this CC cream. So I didn't sure for this advantage. As for whitening, I told you it really worked for sure! I was used this CC cream then applied some two way cake powder again as finishing touch and my friends said my face was too white. And I also realized when I looked into the mirror that my face becoming bright white. So if you want natural look, you better don't apply heavy powder after it or you better to use transparent powder. For anti wrinkle, I didn't know for sure either because it need a long term used to know the result. But thing was, this product would help you to prevent wrinkle in early ages. As for correcting and covering, it didn't work for me at all! Because I had a really serious dark spots and dark circles sometimes and it barely covered these up ~Actually up until now, I haven't find any cream to solve this problem without using concealer~.

Pros:

Fun and fresh packing, and young concept
It smells nice
Not sticky or too dewy
Quite affordable
Actually whitening your skin

Cons:

It's not fully covering or correcting my skin
Not available in Indonesia yet

So this was my experience when using Witch's Pouch CC cream and hope it could help you to decide what is the best product for you. My overall decision is I like this product quite well and it's good for my everyday use. Later, I will try to record a new youtube video for this product as well asap and I'll notify you once it ready. Meanwhile, I recently checked Zalora Indonesia ~I know it's not beauty related. lol~ and found that Ivy Park now could be purchased at the website! You know this brand right? Right?? It was co-founded by Beyoncé. Yes! The Queen B! So if you're curious or in searching for something sporty, tap my link above asap!

Hello, this is the last Summer outfit inspiration during my long holiday early this month. This time I was using my favorite combination colors, black and white. For you, my loyal readers or followers might be realize that I often posted about monochrome outfit.

I watched a Korean Drama recently and thought that their style was so cute and I haven't try it before, so I finally mixed my black long dress with a white shirt to get the classy, sweet and feminine vibes.

I assure you that a white shirt is a must have item, because it was so easy to mix and perfect in ~almost~ everything. I also have mentally noted myself to get another white shirt! ~lol~ So let's move on to the outfit pictures and let me know what do you think! ;)

Been busy in the past week when I was preparing for my son's birthday tomorrow, and my working days also just started last week. Sorry for this late post update, so no need much talking anymore, let's head down to the outfit!

Summer has officially starting everywhere, especially in four season countries, so here's my next summer outfit. Summer means simple and light outfit for me so I chose this simple white lace sleeveless top and chiffon maxi skirt with double slits. The outfit really express the feminine style that I always loved and the simple yet eye-catchy colors combination has made this outfit looked so sweet and outstanding. Then I completed the look with a pair of heels, gold accessories which always a trend in for Summer and of course, a mini bag which was a must-have these days.

How do you think? :)

Do you know that Stripes is really happening in this Summer? I saw many e-commerce or brands have promoting about their stripes outfits lately. So yes, this time I brought out my stripes long dress for this Summer to join the hype!

To be honest, I'm not really fond into stripes outfit but I thought trying something new won't hurt too. So here are the pictures that taken at a pool area when our family was swimming last week.

Witch's Pouch Selfie Perfect Concealer

noreply@blogger.com (Ariany Chandra Tanaya) — Thu, 23 Jun 2016 16:09:00 +0000

💕 Beauty Review 💕

This time beauty review was about one of my recent favorite Korean Brand, Witch's Pouch. I was enchanted by their brand concept, package designs, advertising and all..

I got three products of Witch's Pouch from my latest sponsorship with Althea Korea for Indonesia. So I had this Selfie Perfect Concealer, CC Cream and Popo GlosStick Tint Balm, but I decided to review their concealer first.

I must admitted, it's the first time for me to use this kind of concealer. I usually used my eyes concealer for eyes and other spots that I need to cover ~I usually used Etude~, so the first impression when I opened this product's box was how I love the concealer packing! It's unique and new for me because I never had a concealer like this one. The packing has one push button on the back to draw the content out and poured into the front fur.

I had recorded short tutorial about how to use this product on my youtube here. Please bear with my awkwardness because it's my first time recording a video. I hope I'll be getting better next time! So please do take a look and subscribe if you want to see my next beauty or fashion videos ;)

Then back to talk about the product, I wanted to share my experience with you guys who might haven't tried this brand yet. From the price section, as for me this brand was quite affordable and the brand's concept was fun and fresh for youngsters. So I suggested you to give this brand a chance.

For the quality, it didn't have intensive coverage as foundation did, but just enough to cover dark spots vaguely. Which in my case, my dark spots (or blemish skin) already there for a long time and too dense, so for me this concealer wasn't enough to cover my skin face. But I recommended it for daily use because the coverage was natural, if you hate to feel like using a mask everyday for school/work or a stroll with your pet. Also the application was very easy and fun because of the packaging and it has a nice smell too.

I had this concealer in shade No. 23 Natural Beige, because it was the last shade available in the web. I usually used light colors like No. 21 for my face but in this case, I think darker shade would help me to cover my blemishes more and it turned out just worked a little bit. Also I will update my 'before and after' pictures when using this product for my blemish skin later. So stay tune!

Pros:

Fun and fresh packing, and young concept
It smells nice
Easy application
Quite affordable

Cons:

Doesn't have intensive coverage
Not available in Indonesia yet

Laneige K-Beauty Week

noreply@blogger.com (Ariany Chandra Tanaya) — Fri, 17 Jun 2016 13:07:00 +0000

Hello, this is an event report from two weeks ago! (sorry for updating it so long~)

I supposed to post about this event last week but due to the hectic conditions at work that made me exhausted, then I regretfully postponed this event until this week. But I had posted a new fashion post last Sunday as usual schedule. So no need much prologue anymore, here it is the story..

I had a chance and invited by Grazia Indonesia to attend Laneige K-Beauty Week at Emporium Mall Pluit on early of June. It was an event series which has been held at some famous malls in Jakarta recently and aside from their launching of new Highlighter cushion, there were some competitions, music performance and trunk show by Sogo Indonesia.

The event itself, started from 1 PM with Spring makeup competition and Cupcake decorating and I should be get in on 02.30 PM but it delayed into 03.30 PM because the competition hasn't done yet.

So after registered myself on Grazia's guest book, then I was seated in the front row. The first show was a music performance by Mario Ginanjar who sang three songs, then continued with Trunk Show by Sogo Departement Store. This fashion show has Spring theme and showed twelve mix and match outfits from Sogo ~of course~. Then after the fashion show ended, there should be a dance performance but I didn't watch it and went home right after.

The event was quite fun with photo booth and many displays of Laneige's products so you could try it on the spot and found what the best products for you to use. And on this event, I had a chance to see another Beauty enthusiast and made friends. Hope I could be invited to another events like this again to meet more people. Thank you Grazia Indonesia for the opportunity!

Heya.. New outfit post this week!

This was the outfit that I wore to a beauty event last week in Jakarta, and I will write about the event in aa separate post after this one. It had a bit of edgy vibe but still look feminine and casual ~as my signature style as always~. Maybe this was my kind of street style. What do you think? ;)

noreply@blogger.com (Ariany Chandra Tanaya) — Sun, 29 May 2016 15:38:00 +0000

Hi, as I promised two posts in a week, so here we go..

This is the outfit that I wore when I was going to do a shopping spree at Debenhams, Senayan City last week. This outfit was also the one that I wore on Chinese New Year back then at February. At the time, I also promised to do separate photo session about that outfit for the complete look. So here they are.

This was one of a kind modern Batik that I had. The fabric was Batik but the dress' design was so modern. It had deep V-Neck design and split skirt like a Kimono. So simple yet so chic, elegant and remarkable. This dress has made the new impression that Batik could be also look so Luxurious, far from the old image that Batik should be always looked formal and old fashioned.

IOPE AIR CUSHION XP (NATURAL)

noreply@blogger.com (Ariany Chandra Tanaya) — Thu, 26 May 2016 15:09:00 +0000

A long waiting review is finally here..!! So sorry for postponed the review during my sickness, and now when I'm getting better, I will update two posts in a week as an amend! ^^

As you have known that I was a Beta Tester for an E-Commerce named Althea Korea (I already updated about this sponsorship also in my previous post), which now the web store already run smoothly and ready to serve all customers in Indonesia. During the sponsorship, I was given IDR 600k credit points to shop at their store. So on this opportunity, I instantly chose to order a cushion which I already wanted to try for so long.

After a few research, I found out that this IOPE Air Cushion XP was the second best recommendation cushion with more affordable price. And it has two type of cushions, which were Natural and Cover, then I chose to order the Natural one with shade N21. Until today, I've been using this product over a week and after experience all the results, I could say that I'm quite satisfied with it.

The result was really Natural as its claim! It meant, it has a very low coverage ~so if you wanted high coverage for your skin, you better choose the Cover type~, and it's not cakey. It's really dewy, but because I didn't a fan of dewy look as much as the other people did, so I added a small amount of powder again atop of it ~I used it as a foundation~.

It's not sweat-proof! So when I was sweating, it would cause my skin color looks uneven. But it did last up to eight hours if I was not sweating, so I didn't need to touch up during the time. The product itself claimed the effect would long-lasting up to 12 hours, but I always touched up before eight hours or so. This cushion could be applied as Sunscreen also with SPF50+, so as for me, this product was quite necessary because I lived in tropical island.

The one interesting thing for me was, the puff would give a cool feeling when it touched my skin and I found it refreshing. So I loved to touch up with this cushion ~even though I didn't really need to~, just to refresh my skin from the heat. What a relieve I got this product right now! ;)

When you order this cushion, you will get one complete set of cushion plus one refill. So no need to worry if you run out of content because it already has a back up stock. I don't really know how long the cushion could be use, but I usually emptied my compact powder around three or four months, so I hope this cushion would last longer.

this is what you get

Pros:

Beautiful packing
Makeup base, Foundation and Sunscreen product all in one
Hydrate and moisturize your skin

Long-lasting

Cons:

Not sweat-proof
Not available in Indonesia yet
Price a little bit high than other brands which available in Indonesia's stores
