New Year 2014 Greetings and GRWM Video To End this 2013!

Hello again girlfriends! Di postingan kali ini, gue mau ngucapin....

SELAMAT TAHUN BARU 2014!!!

WOHOOO~~~~

Yes yes, gak kerasa 2013 cepet banget berlalu, kinda scary, but that's life. Semuanya berjalan begitu aja. 2013 udah ngasih semua pelajaran hidup, terutama untuk gue sendiri. Pahit, asam, asin, manis, semuanya dirasain sepanjang 2013 ini. Dan dalam hitungan jam, karena saat gue ngetik ini 11.30 am 31 Desember 2013, kita bakal nyambut tahun yang baru, awal yang baru, 2014. Siap gak siap, harus siap. Semoga di tahun 2014 kita, khususnya gue jadi manusia yang lebih baik lagi, AMIN YA ALLAH!

Nah, ini merupakan postingan terakhir untuk tahun 2013 ini. Gue punya beberapa resolusi untuk tahun 2014, khususnya untuk kebaikan blog ini sendiri. Karena, tanpa gue sadari, beberapa hari yang lalu, tepat di penghujung tahun ini, blog ini mencapai +100k views! Subhanallah, I cannot believe my eyes, alhamdulillah...

the static number, by the time I was typing this post. Alhamdulillah...

Which Beauty Gurus 'Represent' YOU The Most??

I know you guys do enjoy your free time to watch youtube videos. Well, since you clicked my blog, means we might share the same interest, makeup. Which also means maybe most of you reading this enjoy watching beauty videos on youtube too. Am I right?? hehe Because I myself enjoy my free time watching beauty videos the most after writing on my blog. And for that, I made this post for fun. Ready??

Have you ever got that feeling, when you watch a video or videos from a person, you feel that 'oh this is so helpful to me' 'oh, she has this similar eye shape to mine!' or something like that? Well that is happen to me when I actually watch beauty videos from particular people. I know this might happen to you guys too, right? Because let's just be real, every single thing in human features are different from each other, right?? So sometimes I think when I watch beauty videos, I cannot exactly apply some people's tricks on how they apply their makeups.

For example, the eye shapes of Caucasian and Asian are somewhat different. Although the whole concept or principal of applying makeup are mostly the same from time to time, but it makes me feel more comfortable to watch is the one that has similar features with mine. Especially for eye shape like mine, with almond eye shape and somewhat hooded for asian eyes, the trick to apply the eyeshadow is can be different. So I have some beauty gurus which I look up the most, and I sometimes reflect myself to them [as how will the makeup turn out to me when I apply it like what they did] to help me got this thought about the how will makeup look like to me later on.

So here are my fivemost  favorite beauty gurus on Youtube. I learn a lot from them. Let's get started, shall we??

Darker and Chapped Lips?? BIG NO! My Lips Scrub Routine, an Easy DIY~

Hello again girlfriends, kali ini gue mau ngomongin tentang lip care. A really brief and simple one. Sampai saat ini gue udah pernah publish beberapa postingan yang berkaitan dengan bibir. Mulai dari review berbagai macam lip products sampe lip care product yang tersedia dipasaran. Nah kali ini gue mau posting tentang perawatan bibir. Khususnya perawatan yang gue lakuin untuk diri gue sendiri. Karena menurut gue perawatan itu perlu, untuk penampilan yang menarik juga sehat. Kalo kita udah dapetin bibir yang sehat, maka penjagaannya adalah hal yang sangat penting. Kita semua tau, kalo menjaga itu lebih sulit daripada ngedapetinnya, jadi usaha kita untuk menjaga akan terlihat dari hal hal kecil. Seperti halnya menjaga kelembaban bibir yang bakal kita omongin sekarang. hihi

Oke, sebenernya awalnya postingan ini gue buat karena banyak banget pertanyaan yang hampir sama dan senada yang ditujukan ke gue, baik dari pembaca blog ini, sampe temen-temen di bbm, wassap, twitter, dan social media lainnya. Pertanyaan semacam ini sering banget muncul khususnya di postingan gue yang berkenaan dengan lip products tadi. Berikut contoh pertanyaan yang sering muncul tersebut, yang ada di postingan gue tentang Revlon Lipstick and Lipgloss Review, click for the full post!

Yep! That's the most asked question I got this whole time. Anyway, for the Anon, please next time include your name, let's be friends! So we can talk a lot later on. hehe

My Graduation Day: I did my own makeup! + Rumah Ebo Guesthouse Bandung Review

Helloooooowwww ladieeeesss~~~~~

Yes, if you read my previous posts, you'll know that I graduated from college and I told you guys bunch of stories about my thesis defense right? and nooooowww..... YES IT IS! IT'S FINALLY MY GRADUATION DAY wohoooooooo~~~~ I feel so excited. it's more than a month that I've waited for this day, then it's finally come. So I want to share you something a little about it.

Yes, mungkin sebagian tau kalo gue kuliah di UNPAD, dan tinggal di Jakarta (Bekasi), jadi untuk hari wisuda, ternyata diadain di Bandung. okay, no problem. then, dapet kabar lagi kalo H-1 gue wisuda tanggal 27 Agustus itu, gue harus dateng dulu gladi bersih tanggal 26-nya. whaaaaaat??? bayangan gue, gue bisa dateng tgl 27 aja berangkat dr subuh abis dandan dr salon bareng sama keluarga, tapi man gara2 gladibersih itu smua jadi buyar. Yaudah, gue sama nyokap bingung dan nyusun strategi.

Bingung pertama, H-2minggu wisuda belom dapet kebaya. tapi akhirnya gak lama dapet setelah muter-muter dan alhamdulillah lengkap satu set and I loooove it so much! Bingung kedua, MAKEUP!! gimanaaaaa coba, gue gak tau salon mana yg bagus di Bandung :'( dan gue gak mau asal-asalan, it's my big day. you know what I mean. Bingung ketiga, RAMBUT! mau digimanaiiiiiiiiiiiin akkkk!!!

Atas kebingungan-kebingungan tersebut. akhirnya kita mencoba beberapa strategi, setelah kebaya dapet, gue mikirin makeup. gue bilang ke nyokap, gue kayaknya bisa deh dandan sendiri insyaallah. so my mom said okay, and she 100% trusted me. untuk rambut, kalo yg pernah baca postingan gue soal dandanin anak2 kartini, pasti tau nyokap gue bisa nyanggulin. so I 100% trusted my mom for my hair. THERE! 

Jadi gue latihan makeup dulu sebelum-sebelumnya, wondering what kind of makeup do I want, and it kept changing as much as I practiced my makeup, thou #labil until H-deket-deket wisuda gue mantep tentang apa yang gue (dan mama gue) mau untuk makeup. and my mom also made me a really really simple but still gorgeous hair do for me and I love em!!!!! soooo much!

Singkat nya, Hari H dateng dan gue dandan sendiri. Yeppppppp~~~~~ I did my best. mungkin gak perfect but I feel really really satisfied. it was exactly what I want. Soooo here are my makeup for my graduation daaay, I didn't edited any photos here in my blog. besides decorative ones, if needed. tapi selain itu, gue gak edit2 makeup atau apapun, I'm just trying to show how it really was, and I think it is cheating to edit photos to the blog, thou... #imo:

My FRESHLY APPLIED makeup, taken by my phone, gak begitu jelas, tapi begitu jadi full makeupnya gue langsung foto >,<

Beauty Talk: My Birthday, Graduation, and Goals in Life....

Hello again ladies, oh I'm tearing up while typing this, don't know why..
I think I'm just missing you guys and it's been a long time for me since my latest post on this blog.
Yes, I'm back after such a looooong long time.
As you guys can notice from the title, I bring some good news to share with you guys..
Belakangan ini merupakan momen momen yang sangat amat alhamdulillah menyenangkan buat gue.

Yep, I turned into 22 this year. tepatnya 29 Juni kemarin, hehehehe

taken from google.com

I feel so grateful. Yes, more than grateful. ulang tahun kemarin gak ada yang terlalu spesial atau wah gimana banget. cukup ucapan dan doa dari keluarga dan teman-teman udah merupakan sesuatu yang sangat spesial kemarin bagi gue, karena alhamdulillah semuanya mendoakan biar sidang gue lancar dan lulus dengan nilai yang memuaskan. karena 29 Juni kemarin, gue belum lulus. masih dalam tahap deg-degan mau sidang. So, I cannot be more grateful than that. I feel awesome. Thank you for all the prayer, guys..
My family prepared a cute and simple-sudden-birthday cake for me at 00.00 hehehe it was made from Magnum Minis, disusun sedemikian rupa sampe jadi kayak kue ulang tahun trus dikasih lilin deh buat gue niup lilinnya. hehe sweet.

I also got a present from my beloved ones, Izzy. Walaupun gak hari H karena dia masih di Malang, jadi baru beberapa hari kemudian dia balik ke Jakarta. untuk magang di Jakarta beberapa lama ini (yeaaaaay!) And he gave me this cutely wrapped birthday present, he knows that I love pink and Hello Kitty yeay! and what's inside is a secret. lol Plus, 22 Juli kemarin, was his birthday too! Yay! Happy 22 too, Sayang! Hope everything's going all right for this year ahead amin ya rabbalalaminnnnn hehehehe Well, I think that's it for my birthday story, I don't have any fancy things to tell, but I'm totally grateful for that, moving on to the next....

Here it comes the D-day. 2 Juli, Hari dimana gue Sidang Skripsi. jeng jeng.

O. M. G. I don't know what to tell. Kemarin itu rasanya epic banget T~T even gue masih kayak pengen nangis kalo ngebayanginnya. fuh~~~~~~~ jadi gue nyampe di Jatinangor itu H-1 dan kemarin itu gue belum dapet sepatu hitam. oh noooo, untung aja ada mall terdekat disana dan bisa nyari dulu. jadi aja gue muter dulu untuk nyari sepatu hitam. I don't think of the price, the style, the fabric or whatever anything will do, asal gue bisa sidang dengan nyaman besok. there you go, abis muter muter bentar, gue dapet sepatu ini. thank you banget buat @auniazmi_ yang udah nemenin gue muter-muter nyari sepatu ini :') Okey, besoknya, gue prepare semuanya. sip gue bangun pagi-pagi banget trus siapin yang mesti dibawa, which is banyak banget aja gitu dari laptop buku-buku teori dsb. karena asrama gue tinggal nyebrang doang ke kampus, jadi ya lumayan lah. sidang dimulai dari jam 8 pagi. dosen-dosen juga udah pada dateng. termasuk dosen-dosen penguji gue. jadi fakultas gue itu ada 2 penguji dan 2 pembimbing. Jadi abis pembukaan dari ketua jurusan, kita semua nunggu dipanggilin buat disidang skripsinya.

Huk. then it comes to my turn. perut gue sakit, nervous. tapi alhamdulillah pas udah eksekusinya gue tenang dan menjawab sesuai dengan kemampuan gue. terus nunggu nunggu nunggu, sambil saling support ke temen dan senior lain yang juga sidang, akhirnya abis shalat dzuhur, tiba-tiba semua yang saat itu sidang (sekitar 29 orangan) disuruh masuk semua. saatnya pengumuman. DAMN!!!!!!!! LEMES BANGET AJA NIH KAKI SAKING NERVOUSNYA.
