Jarte Beauty X Kokumi Creamy Lip Tint [Review and Swatches]

#Dirumahaja selama hampir 4 bulan bikin aku bener - bener jadi cuek dan ga ngurus muka sama sekali. Baik itu skincare atau makeup, I didn't take care of them at all. Karena sebelumnya kan aku makeup cuma saat mau keluar rumah, jadi biar ga keliatan kucel ketemu orang. Setelah pulang aku bersihin makeup, lanjut pake skincare biar muka mulus dan hasil makeup juga bagus. Sejak ada PSBB, aku bener - bener full di rumah aja, kecuali mau ke supermarket. Itupun juga muka aku ketutupan masker. Jadi aku tuh mikirnya, "Buat apa makeup? Ga keliatan juga udah ketutupan masker." Pokoknya aku jadi kaya keluar dari dunia beauty dan udah ga ngikutin perkembangannya lagi.

Beberapa minggu lalu, waktu aku lagi scroll feed di Tiktok, aku liat ternyata ada banyak banget merk lokal baru di dunia kecantikan. Skincare, makeup, semuanya hadir dengan packaging yang bagus banget dan bikin hasrat aku untuk shopping kembali "bergetar". Apalagi setelah baca review kalau kualitasnya bagus dan harganya affordable. Alasan lain yang bikin aku tertarik dengan produk - produk lokal ini adalah banyak produk mereka yang statusnya "LIMITED". Terserah deh kalian mau bilang aku lebay atau ga penting. Tapi saat aku melihat barang yang akan launching adalah produk limited, aku langsung antusias banget and do everything to get it. Rasanya tuh kaya punya kepuasan tersendiri kalau bisa dapetin sesuatu yang limited.

Di antara sekian banyak merk lokal yang sedang launching produk baru, aku tertarik dengan 1 brand lokal yaitu Jarte Beauty. Jujur aja, aku ga pernah denger brand ini sebelumnya sama sekali. Aku itu bener - bener buta banget sama local beauty brand di Indonesia, karena biasanya aku belanja skincare sama makeup cuma saat sedang traveling  ke luar negeri. I might know some local beauty brand in Indonesia, tapi itu hanya sebagian kecil. Rata - rata juga karena muncul di iklan Instagram saat sedang scroll feed. Kenapa aku tertarik dengan Jarte Beauty? Karena dia baru aja launching produk baru, yang merupakan kolaborasi antara Jarte Beauty dengan Kokumi. Yesss, Kokumi - salah satu minuman boba terbaik di Indonesia.

Awalnya aku lihat di insta stories beberapa influencer dan beauty blogger yang uda dikirimin duluan produk dari kolaborasi Jarte Beauty X Kokumi. Produk yang dikeluarkan dari kolaborasi ini berupa creamy lip tint yang tersedia dalam 2 variant, “Okinawa” dan “Unicorn”. Yang suka atau pernah minum Kokumi pasti familiar dengar kata - kata itu. Kata - kata itu adalah nama dari minuman bestseller Kokumi. Salah satu alasan kenapa aku tertarik dengan produknya adalah karena first impression reviewnya pada bilang setiap lip tint ini memiliki wangi sesuai dengan minumannya. Wow!!  Ga kebayang deh punya lip tint dengan wangi yang sesuai dengan minuman favorite aku - Okinawa Brown Sugar Big Boba.

Waktu itu aku langsung buka instagram Jarte beauty, dan dapat info kalau produk ini exclusive dijual di Beauty Studio by Female Daily . Aku langsung tanya di Instagram @beautystudiobyfd untuk tanggal launching, dan saat dia sudah launching langsung aku beli. Hahaha. Happy banget saat dapet email confirmation kalau uda berhasil.

Review Creamy Lip Tint Jarte Beauty X Kokumi

Pertama kali liat packagingnya, aku langsung suka. Designnya ga mewah, tapi lucu dan sweet banget. Di box nya ada gambar boba dan unicorn khas Kokumi. Untuk kemasan lip tint nya sendiri memiliki warna pink and I love it!!

Seperti yang aku bilang, creamy lip tint ini memiliki 2 warna “Okinawa” dan “ Unicorn”. Okinawa memiliki warna cokelat natural, yang cocok buat dipakai sehari - hari. Kalau kalian mau yang agak cerah, kalian bisa pilih “Unicorn” yang memiliki warna agak kemerahan, tapi hasilnya tetap natural. Pokoknya warnanya top banget deh. Cocok untuk warna kulit wanita Indonesia.

Pertama kali aku swatch lip tint ini di tangan, aku agak shock karena texture nya beda banget sama liquid lip color aku lainnya. Texture nya itu bener - bener ringan banget, dan gampang di blend. Akhirnya aku coba di bibir aku dan hasilnya bagus banget. Mau dipake full di bibir dan dioles berkali - kali juga dia ga gumpal. Jadi ga kelihatan tebal dan natural banget hasilnya.

Hal lain yang aku suka dari creamy lip tint ini adalah formulanya yang ga bikin bibir kering sama sekali. Kalau kalian uda baca blog aku sebelumnya, kalian pasti tau bahwa bibir aku kering banget. Dan aku harus pake Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask tiap malam, supaya besok pagi bisa pake liquid lip color dengan hasil bibir yang halus. Tapi biasanya, setelah pakai liquid lip color seharian, sorenya bibir aku jadi pecah - pecah lagi. But it’s not happening when I used creamy lip tint dari Jarte Beauty. Seharian pake ini, bibir aku tetep halus.

Selain itu, lip tint ini juga lumayan awet. Meskipun ga “maskproof”, tapi tetep oke kok. Di atas adalah foto aku setelah 7 jam pake Okinawa lip tint. Masih keliatan kan warnanya? Meskipun uda mulai pudar, tapi masih wajar sih. Secara selama 7 jam itu aku makan minum, dan pake masker terus. Pokoknya creamy lip tint ini recommended banget deh. Ga nyesel belinya. Bikin makin cinta sama produk - produk Indonesia. Anyway, harga lip tint ini IDR 139.000 , dan menurut aku worth it banget untuk kualitas yang sebagus ini. 

What to eat in Bangkok - Part 4

Welcome to the last part of this food guide in Bangkok!

Actually we should be have 5 days trip in Bangkok. However since my flight got cancelled, so I bought new flight tickets and back to my country one day earlier. (You can read more about my travel experience during pandemic at this post). We chose Garuda Indonesia to took as back for safety reason, so we departed from Suvarnabhumi Airport - Bangkok. At this airport, there's one restaurant that we love the most, and it's always be a mandatory for us to dine in there even we're just having a short layover. If you want to know more about this place, keep reading this post until finish because I'll write completely about the 4th day in Bangkok - or we could said “What to eat at Suvarnabhumi Airport?”

Day 4 : Suvarnabhumi Airport

Asian Corner

    It's not the first time for us to be at Suvarnabhumi Airport, and believe it or not, we have our favorite restaurant here. It is Asian Corner. We even remember the location of this restaurant exactly, where everything looks the same here. It is located at Concourse D, after you pass immigration check. If you just having a transit at Suvarnabhumi Airport you also can visit this place. I've tried some of their dishes and they are delicious. Even I'd said it's too good for a standard of airport food. 

    However, in between many options, we have our favorite meal. It's a set of rice, tom yum goong (prawn), and fried (omelet) egg. It looks like just an ordinary meal, but it's not. The tom yum has a tasty soup and it also comes with medium size prawn. It's really good to eat the soup together with rice. But what makes it better was the egg. It was the best fried egg that we ever had. We never found any fried egg taste like that. It was little bit crispy at the outside, but it still soft at the inside. It's not too dried at all. They also seasoned it very well and it's really tasty. No matter how long the layover time, this place is a must for us when we're at Suvarnabhumi Airport.

Burger King

    

    

    You must be familiar with this burger. Who doesn't know Burger King? You can find it in every country. So why do I want to eat it at Bangkok? The reason is because it has "pork" options for the meat and it's really delicious. Believe it or not, it also something that we must it when having a transit at Suvarnabhumi Airport. But this time, we tried to order a new dish which is a Taro with Corn Pie (THB 35). OMG! It was very very tasty. This pie has a hot melted creamy taro flavor as the filling, with some corn and it's a perfect combination. It's really something that you must try when in Thailand, because you'll never get it in any Burger King in other countries.

    It was the end of our culinary trip in Bangkok. Actually, before we went to Bangkok, we had a lot of lists about food that we wanted try. However because of Covid 19 (which made us worry all the time) and Ivan also wasn't feeling well at that time, we couldn't complete it. But that's fine. Everything we had during this trip, has fulfill our desire for food in Bangkok. Bangkok, we love you.. Once this pandemic is over, we'll be back with our children, for sure....

What to eat in Bangkok - Part 3

Hi everyone!!

Thank you for read my previous posts about "What to eat in Bangkok". As I was saying before, I made this topic into 3 parts which each part is for each day in Bangkok. This blog post is the third part and it's gonna be a long story because we were eating a lot at this day. Besides, we also move to another hotel which not located at Pratunam and we found something good at this area. 

Day 3

On Lok Yun

    What I love by visiting one place is going to local place and looking for a popular place to eat. A tourist spot also has a famous yet delicious food, but sometimes local place has something different and it's worth to try. It was the third day and we had no idea what to eat for breakfast around the hotel area. One thing that we didn't want to do while traveling is eat the same food more than once. We might found some good place nearby for breakfast such as Go Ang Chicken Rice or Kuang Heng Chicken Rice, but we wanted to try another food when in Bangkok. So we're searching about a good place for breakfast in Bangkok, and this place came up in every page - On Lok Yun.

On Lok Yun is not located at Pratunam area, so we ordered Grab and it took around 20 minutes to reach there. It's just a small place at the street side and it looks very old. FYI, this traditional coffee shop has been there for almost 80 years, and it's still popular until now among locals and tourists. However since I was there during pandemic, there's no tourist at all. I only spotted some elder, and also some locals wearing formal clothes. It looks like their having breakfast here before go to the office. 

Hot milk tea - THB 22 and free hot tea

They don't have many options for the menu, but they're all enough for breakfast. A toast bread and a western style breakfast set are the bestseller, so we ordered each of them. And one thing that we never forget to order in Bangkok, cha yen (thai tea) - and of course it's the hot one because it's for morning breakfast. 

Let's start from the western style breakfast (THB 55). At this plate there are pork sausage, bacon, chinese sausage (lap cheong), and 2 eggs. You can choose how the eggs gonna be cooked, and we chose scrambled. It might looks simple and nothing special, but it was delicious. We love the bacon which is very thin and crispy, and also the pork sausage which is very tasty. But what we love the most is the chinese sausage. We've tried many kind of chinese sausage but this one is the best. And it's something that you can't get in any western - style breakfast menu.

Toast bread with butter and sugar - THB 23

Next is a toast bread with sugar on top. Little bit crispy at the outside part, mixed with the sugar, it's really good. Beside a toast bread, we also order egg custard bread with kaya (THB 28). Basically it's a steamed soft white bread that comes with kaya as a dipping sauce. The bread was really soft and the kaya was also good. 

Haidilao Hot Pot

    When we talked about hot pot restaurant, there's one name that people would think about - it's Haidilao. Haidilao is a hot pot restaurant that comes from China. This place is really popular for hot pot lover. Not only because their delicious food, but also their service. Their service is the best. Even though you haven't come inside the restaurant and still queueing, they'll provide snacks and drinks for you. We've tried this restaurant while we were at Kuala Lumpur, and we really love it. So when we knew Haidilao has an outlet in Bangkok (precisely at Central World shopping mall), we didn't want to missed it.

Pork bone soup and Tomato soup at Haidilao Hot Pot

We came for lunch, and there was no queue (another advantage to travel during pandemic. LOL!) However, almost every table filled with guests. They have many variant for the soup, and we chose 2 types which is our favorite - Tomato soup and pork bone soup. Not forgetting the bean curd roll which is really good after dipped at the soup. It's all taste exactly the same with the one we had before. The price was also quite affordable this high quality restaurant. Unfortunately they don't have a fresh live tiger prawn like we had at Kuala Lumpur. But overall it's worth it to have this hot pot dish when in Bangkok 

Fire Tiger

   

Fire Tiger Milk - Central World, Bangkok

    We wouldn't missed any day without trying a new boba drink in Bangkok. After having lunch, we're looking for boba drink at the same shopping mall and we found - Fire Tiger. Fire Tiger is a brand for boba drink which originally from Bangkok. This boba drink has a unique concept, where the pick up point is from tiger's mouth. It becomes a mandatory for everyone to try this drink when in Bangkok, especially if you're a boba addict. I ordered their bestseller which is "Fire Tiger Milk" (THB 150). It's the most expensive boba drink I ever had, but it's also the best. It has a strong taste of brown sugar, the boba also very good. One thing that make it special is beside boba, it also has jelly for the topping which also delicious.

[Grab Food] Moo Tong Congee

    At the afternoon, we moved another hotel which located at Sathorn (near river area). By chance we started to hungry but feel lazy to go out because we just arrived. Well, it's the perfect time to order Grab Food. New place, must be there's something new to try around this place. At the moment I was craving for something warm such as porridge, and I looked that there's one place, very recommended for pork porridge. It doesn't have any English name so we couldn't find out about the review of this place on google maps or instagram. We just trust what's written at Grab application. After looked at the menu, we ordered their bestseller menu - pork porridge and chicken rice (again! We love chicken rice :P)

Hainanese chicken rice - THB 50

    It wasn't took a long time until the food has arrived. Once I opened the plastic, the smell of its broth came out from the porridge. It was really good as well as the taste. The thickness of the porridge was just perfect. It has pork meatball inside which is very tasty, and also have some onion leaves and ginger as the garnish. Beware!! Ginger in Thailand has a very strong taste. I just put a little bit ginger but it was very spicy. But it's perfect to warmed up my stomach. The chicken rice was also delicious. We ordered the combination of boiled and fried chicken as the toppings, and both are so tasty. Somehow we felt it's more delicious than other chicken rice that we ate before. 

Pork Porridge - THB 35

    Feeling satisfied with all the food, I started to match the location between the map at Grab application and Google Maps. And we found the name of this place. Surprisingly, this place has many good reviews and it's also quite popular. If you're looking for this place at Google Maps, just type "Moo Tong Congee". Another good news, it opened 24 hours. So you can order it anytime you want.

Sooksiam

    After took a rest, we decided to go to a new shopping mall nearby called Iconsiam. What makes us visiting this mall is there's a food court with floating market concept. It's called Sooksiam. At this place, there are many variety of Thai street food and that's what we're looking for. I realized that street food will taste good if we eat the original version which sold at the street side. However because of Coronavirus, I was afraid to go to traditional market and tried their street food because of hygiene reason. So here we are, at the Sooksiam, looking for something good to try.

Chocolate Banana Crepe and Mango Sticky Rice at Sooksiam

    Since it was already night, we're not looking for a "heavy meal". We're looking for a light dish and durian. Yup, we're durian lover and we couldn't hold ourselves looking at the "fat", yellow durian in Bangkok. After looking around, finally we found a stall who sells crepe, and in front of it there's a place selling mango sticky rice. I just realized we haven't eat this popular food since the first day, so those became our choice. The mango sticker was really tasty, as I was expecting. Neither the crepe which is freshly made when you order. We ordered banana and chocolate flavor crepe and it's the best combo ever. However we were disappointed with "the looking good" durian. Even though it has a lot of "meat", but it was really bland. I felt cheated by paying expensive for durian taste like this.

(Sorry we forgot to take picture of the durian. But if you want to have a good durian in Bangkok, I think you need to do a search first and not buy it at random place.)
