From my opinion, it's a lil bit pricey for their size and to be honest we're going to Eat n Eat place to order more food because we're still hungry. The chicken is crispy and spicy but the inside still to flavorless for me. The ambience is good for chill with friends. If you're so hungry, this is not the one for you but if you're in the mood of eating less and in the chill-mood, this is will be great.

Jergens Natural Glow vs Banana Boat Sunless Summer Color

I already had brown skin and i super love it, thanks to my father descent who gave it to me and to my future baby hahaha.. But sometimes i do look yellow-olive skintone that's why i bought a tanning lotion to make me more brown or tanned and a little bit glowy skin without having a sun exposing directly to my skin. I don't want those skin cancer and avoid Snooki Jerseyshore (too) fake tan look.

I tried Jergens Natural Glow Express Body Moisturizer for Medium Skin Tone and Banana Boat Summer Color Self-tanning in Light/Medium Color.

My step using tanning lotion : Don't forget to exfoliate the skin before using tan lotion, put hand gloves otherwise your palms end up so tanned, do it in your room so you can walk around naked until the lotion completely dried. For removing the tanned, i used lemon and body scrub. 

Let's go Brown!!

My Family Yearly Routine for Ramadan

My family is Christian. Part of family from my Mom most of them are Moslem so we never get any problem about Ramadhan. Most of my neighbor are moslem and each year my family give them a bottle of syrup and biscuit to celebrate Ramadan, Islamic religious holiday. Well not all family in neighborhood, just for them that being nice to my family but it is a MUST. And when Christmas come, they giving back either cookies or syrup to my family. Sharing things for someone religious holiday is important, so they'll know that we respect them.

some biscuit and syrup

Ramadan greeting card & list to give

the package

Usually me, my sister or sometimes my brother delivery those packages door-to-door. Saying this is from my dad and mom, Happy Ramadan, smiling and ask some questions. Neighborhood is really important in the place i live, i don't know if in big city they still recognize or even know their neighbor name. Who do you think you'll asked for help if there's something happen with your family?? the nearest people surround you, right?. Just neglect annoying neighbor, you don't need them in life hahaha... 

Neighborhood rules : Respect each other religion, culture and privacy. You'll have comfortable place to live.

Everyday Minerals Brush *must-have*

This brand is a pioneer brand of selling mineral make up and vegan brush. If you are a beginner at make up, you should have a great quality brush. But the major problem is the price, right?. I recommended EM Brush – Flat Top brush & Angled Blush Brush or if it’s still pricey, you can choose E.L.F Studio brush.

top : EM Flat Top brush
down : EM Angled Blush brush (sorry for the used color, actual is white)

Information from Everyday Mineral website, EM Flat Top and Angled Blush brush $12.99/each and there's special price $ 8.45, i don't know when this offering end. From the web site, they've said :

"100% Cruelty Free. Luxurious and dense super-soft synthetic fibers with renewable bamboo handles. Vegan all the way. "

I buy it from www.creamymilk.com about IDR 130.000/each. I don't regret at all and i wouldn't to sell them to anyone in this planet hahahaha.. I had used the flat top brush for about 2 years and the angled blush brush for almost 1 year.

right : angled blush brush

EM Flat Top Brush, is great for wet and powder foundation, mineral foundation, compact and loose powder. It gives me full coverage application. 

EM Angled Blush Brush, is great for blusher and bronzer. I’ve been waiting for this brush for about a year. What?? Yeah, right. Because when i check Everyday Mineral website, they don’t selling this brush over few months. I’m so happy that they’re produce it again. 

Both of them are so soft, not shedding, great quality, and great for travel. The handle is not to long so it’s fit in your beauty case. You'll not regret have those babies ^_^

Nail Polish : Studio Color review

Hola. It's a nail polish review. Recently, i've been reduce spending money bought make up since i'd notice that i have enough for face, eyes, lips, and brushes. Instead of make up, i tried to add some collection for my nail things. I notice i've pretty nail shape (cocky sounds but that's for my hand only, my nail feet is like a witch hahahaha) i always keep it clean and fine cut.

There's so many good brands like O.P.I, Essie, China Glaze, Zoya etc but they came with expensive price either. Instead spending to much, i pick one of the nail polish brand in Matahari Department Store - Metropolitan Mall, Bekasi. The brand is Studio Color. I try to google it but there's no site about that brand. One bottle cost IDR 39.000,-.

I bought the Base Coat, Yellow-greenish #238, Pink #80, and Dark Red #19 

I also paint my mother nails each time i bought new nail polish. I like practice apply nail polish on her nails.

First, apply base coat and then nail polish for one coat. If the color didn't cover the nail perfectly, apply one coat again. Wait until it's totally dried, i put each nail both left and right hand, if still feel sticky then it's not dried enough. I really wait the nail totally dried, because sometimes when it's not dried enough you'll get fingerprint patches on the nail polish.

Base Coat. It's very important basic if you want to used nail polish, to prevent your real nail became yellowish. I love this one, fast dried enough.

Pink #80. It's cute for daily day nail polish. I wear it about a week and they don't flack or chip easily. I notice there's a glitter in it after few days.

Yellow-greenish #238. It's so creamy. I fall in love with this color. Exotic on my skin. Looks so great on summer.
