What's in my makeup bag for summer holiday?

Tonight, i'm going to go to Europe for summer holiday. I have prepared everything i need, including my beauty stuff.

I won't use any "special" make up. I want to make my face looks natural. Just like a daily look. But, that's should be a long lasting and waterproof make up. Since i'm going on summer, i'll be get sweaty easily.


So, what's in my make up bag?? Check it out, girls :)


1. Ettusais BB Mineral White
 BB Cream is the most important thing for me. I only need a few drop of BB Cream, and it will cover all imperfections on my face. This BB cream has a very light texture. Very suitable for daily use.

2. The Face Shop Phytoghenic Infinite Concealer Duo
So far, this is my favorite concealer for traveling. It has 2 types at one place : liquid and stick. Actually i don't really need the "stick" concealer. I need the "liquid" concealer, since i have very serious problem with my dark circles. However, sometimes i also need "stick" concealer to cover my freckles. Therefore, i really like this concealer. It's so simple, so i don't need to bring 2 concealers.

3. Mac Studio Perfect Compact SPF 15
I never stay with 1 powder. I always try the new powder, when the "old" powder has finished. The last compact powder that i tried, was come from MAC. Do i like it?? Of course i do!! It gives a perfect look for my face. I just need to use it little bit, and my face become very smooth.


4. Wet n Wild Trio Eyeshadow - E380B Walking On Eggshells
Nude color for eye make up is my favorite. For my daily use, i always use Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette Eyeshadow. However, i can't bring it. The size is too big for traveling. Then, i found this "small" palette at the drugstore. I never use this eyeshadow before. But I think it will be good for natural daily look.

5. Etude House Color My Brows No 4
Since i have a bright hair color, i need to match my eyebrows with my hair. With this product, i make my "black" eyebrows turns into "light brown"

6. Etude House Drawing Show Brush Liner
Eyeliner is very important for eye make up. Without eyeliner, my eyes will be look so "plain". This eyeliner very easy to use. And it also waterproof and oilproof.


7. Vaseline Petroleum Jelly
Since i have a very serious problem with my dry lips, i always bring this everywhere. About once in 3 hours, i need  to reuse this on my lips. It helps me a lot.

8. Dior Addict Fluid Stick - 479 Magique
This is summer baby!!! I need to put the bright lip color on my lips. And i choose my lip color from Dior. It has a very bright color. And the most important, it doesn't make my lips become dry.

Feelin' Blue

If you ask me what my favorite color, PINK is the answer!! But, i don't have a lot of pink outfit. It looks tacky for me. So, what's my favorite color for my outfit? It's BLUE!!




I always like to wear blue outfit. It looks great on me. Especially when i combine with white color.



Just like today, i'm wearing White Crop Top from MDS . It fits very well with my Blue Skirt from Topshop

Ombre Hair for Summer

This summer, become the most exciting summer for me. First, i'll go to Europe at this holiday. Second, i have an ombre hair!!! Finally, i was brave enough to bleach my hair, and get a bright color.

I really like to dye my hair, make it looks more beautiful. However, i never choose the bright color for my hair. Because i know, to get a bright color, i need to bleach my hair. Which means, my "dry" hair, will get drier and maybe it will be totally damaged.

But now, i feel bore with the "dark" color that i always use on my hair. I need something different. I was searching on Google about the new trend of hair color on 2015. And it's ombre!!



It looks so pretty. I like it so much. Therefore, i went to salon, and asked the hair stylist about this ombre hair. He helped me to choose the color that matches with my skin tone.

He started with a dark color (Orange 8 from Shiseido) as the base color on my hair. He started from the top, until the middle of the hair. And then, he bleached my hair, from the middle to the bottom of my hair. After 15 minutes, he looked at my hair, and said it was done. He asked the helper to washed my hair. According to my guess, my hair became very dry after bleaching. The hair stylist told me, I couldn't put another color on my hair that has been bleached. I need to do a hair treatment for 1-2 weeks, and after that i can color my hair again. I agree with him. 

Well, these are the pictures of my hair after bleaching. I didn't use any filter at these pictures. If the color looks different, it because of the light.






If you look at me from the front, it will not looks like an ombre hair. That's because I was also asked to bleach the front part of my hair, left side, and right side.

A week after bleaching day, i did "Kerastase" hair treatment. I also use Kerastase Elixir Ultimate Oléo-complexe every day, as a leave-in treatment. It really help to repair my damaged hair. 


After 2 weeks, i decided to go back to salon, and get a new color for my bleached hair. I don't like the color before, it looks so "yellow". I choose color Beige 13 from Shiseido.



Sorry for the bad quality pictures. It was taken by my 5 years old daughter :P
And here's the result..



The color didn't turn out, well, as i expected before. I expected the color was brighter. My hair stylist told me that i need to bleach my hair one more time, if I want to make my hair become totally "white". But the risk is, my hair will be more damage than before. I didn't want to take that risk. And,, however, i feel this color is also looks good on me. What do you think?
