Kpop Idol Makeup Challenge

I make this makeup for answering makeup challenge by Yevi. Actually I can't decide which kpop idol that I will make the look. Then BAAM! I found this idea to make IU look because our hair color is the same! Hihihihi... Here is the look!

[Buzz Korea] Asian On Air Program

Well, annyeonghaseyo (hello in Korean)
My name is Latifah Yulia from Indonesia. I am an Indonesian who live in Indonesia *no wonder, right?* You know how I love writing and traveling. Is it not something correspond each other? Well think again!

This time I am joining (again) an event to win a (free) holiday in South Korea. Well, maybe I am so stubborn to joining this kinda event again and again. Actually, I am afraid to fail again in all essay competition I am joining. "Will I success this time? or will I fail?" I am asking myself. But a lot of a successful person that I read the biography, have went through a lot of failed life and rejection. Deep in my heart I always say, "why don't you try this time again? Maybe you'll win this time. Thomas Alfa Edison is also went through a thousand of failed research just to find a light bulb".

"yeah, if you want the world remember and recognize you, you have to stubborn and hard work more than any average people do" -me

One of my favorite author said, "With writing you can change the world and people will always remember you". After I went through consultation with my best friend, Oppy, and my sister, Dewi, I though why must I give up?

So here I am trying to reach my passion to travel around the world before I am die: writing an essay about things I want do in Korea as competition from "Asian On Air Program".

One thing that I want to do before I am die is to see the world, traveling around the world, learning another culture. So basically I want to have an experience the world. One part of world is Korea. Who don't know about Korea these days? No one! Uhm, well, except you live inland in the middle of nowhere without internet connection.

This little country (no offense, but being compared with China or US with a huge territory, Korea is small, right?) has become "it girl" recently. Something that will always in people conversation. Thanks to entertainment sector of this country for advertising the culture of Korea into the world. With Kpop and it's Kdrama who intensely introducing the culture, a lot of people become more curious about Korea. In the world of technology nowadays, it is so easy to searching information about almost everything.

When I want to learn something new about a lifestyle of a country, I'd prefer to stay in the native household. It is a good opportunity to experience traditional Korean lifestyle and culture.

When I stay there, I want to use a Hanbok as my daily uniform in there. Hanbok is atraditional clothes from Korea like Kimono in Japan or Kebaya in Indonesia.

And I want to try make a homemade kimchi and soju. Kimchi is a traditional fermented Korean dish made of vegetables with a variety of seasonings. Soju is a distilled beverage's native name for shōchū in Korea.

I want to enjoy the scenery of the so famous Nami Island and Jeju Island. Visiting Korea is not complete if you haven't come to this two iconic island right? Especially I want to visit Nami Island in winter or autumn! So the atmosphere would be great! As for Jeju Island, I think visiting it in summer or spring would be a great idea!

If I have to mentioning all I want to do in Korea I think it wouldn't be fit in the post. I love traveling and adventuring. I am very excited to learn something new for me. I am listing Korea as one of my holiday destination before I die. I wish Korea Tourism Organization and Korean Air can choose me.. :D

[Review] Etude House: Precious Mineral BB Cream All Day Strong

Hi.. aku sebagai seorang mahasiswa yang super sibuk tapi ingin tetap cantik *LOL*. Awalnya cuma mau mencari foundation yang bagus, namun akhirnya kenal sama yang namanya BB cream. Oke, apa itu BB cream kalian bisa cari di google, banyak kok! BB cream famous saat ini juga karena Hallyu wave yang artis-artis Korea banyak pakai. Tapi yang jelas, I love it! Like SHINee's Key said about BB cream, it is so wonderful! Dan BB cream yang pertama aku beli adalah Etude House: Precious Mineral All Day Strong yang Sheer Flawless Skin.

Kulit ku itu berminyak dan bermasalah *huhuhu..* makanya itu aku perlu BB cream yang coveragenya bagus untuk menutupi bekas-bekas jerawatku. Awalnya sempet ragu antara yang Sheer Flawless Skin atau yang  Sheer Silky Skin. Tapi liat review yang udah-udah, sepertinya Sheer Silky Skin lebih terang warnanya, dan kulitku kadang terang kadang gelap karena kebanyakan kegiatan di luar ruangan. Maka kuputuskan beli yang Sheer Flawless Skin.

BB cream ini sih ditulisnya SPF 30/PA++ yup! Jadi nggak perlu lagi pakai sunscreen! Tapi pakai BB cream bukan berarti nggak pakai moisturizer ya! Moisturizer is a must even if your skin is oily type!

 

Lihat kan bekas-bekas jerawatku yang buanyaaaak? Haha.. disini aku cuma pakai moisturizer. Dan ini fotoku pakai BB cream ini:

Tadaa!!! Hilang lah semua bekas-bekas itu!! Tapi karena hasilnya agak glowy, aku biasanya masih pakai bedak tabur lagi.. :D BB cream ini benar-benar memberikan efek flawless skin, sebagai contoh lain adalah foto di profile FB ku yang ada di widget disamping, banyak teman ku yang menyangka aku pakai photoshop. Padahal aku nggak pakai photoshop sama sekali!

Pro:

- Coveragenya bagus, bisa buat menutupi bekas jerawat atau kantung mata yang hitam.

- Tahan 6 jam. Aku pakai dari berangkat kuliah di pagi hari hingga sore hari juga masih tahan. Cuma perlu pakai paper face 1 kali, yang biasanya 2 kali.

- Warnanya emang kalau baru dipakai cenderung greyish-keputihan, tapi lama-lama nyatu kok.

Cons:

- Pilihan warnanya nggak banyak

- Masih kelihatan glowy jadi mesti pake bedak lagi kalau mau dapat efek dewy (aku sih prefer dewy to glowy)

- a bit pricey for college student. Ahaha.. aku perlu mikir dulu waktu mau beli ini.

 

Me with bedak Marcks, eyeshadow and blusher The Face Shop, eye liner sipat mata Rani (yang biasa dibawa orang sebagai salah satu oleh-oleh haji), maskara Wonder Lash Mascara by Oriflame, dan lip tint Tony Moly.
