What a qoute.

Im scrolling down the pinterest pages all over again and find an interesting qoute. It says "real man never stop trying to show his girl how much she means to him, even after she got him".

A real man never change, so does my fiancee. He never change..

Rainy morning in cambridge

I love this morning, I love the smell of the rain, I love to see people walk by me. This is one of my favorite routine here in Cambridge. Have a cup of latte in stabucks market street, watching people, watching my sourrounding, window shopping, or have a litte groceries shopping for my cooking projects.

Its been a couple of months I live in Cambridge, and now its time for me to come home, to jakarta. Yes, this is my last week in england. I must get back home due to my visa will be expired soon..huhu its quite hard to leave this country due to the fact that I love being here, I love england, I love the period buildings, I love the smell, I love the shops, and most of all I love being here with my fiancee.

Cambridge is a nice place to live. Its near the river cam, which is very beautiful. Many student live around cambridge, because there is a cambridge university. Cambridge univeraity is one of the oldest and biggest university in england. Its a period building, which is very beautiful.

When I looked at the university student, I kinda miss the time when I was still a university student, I was a traditional dancer back then, hmmm quite a good student tho. Hehe..well, i'm thinking to get back to university to get my master degree, but I still dont know yet. My fiancee tell me, its will be better if I continue my study, but I dont think I want to get master degree for psychology. On contrary,  i'm thinking to get my degree on make up artistry, haha. Well yes, i had a diploma degree for make up artistry, but I still want to learn more about make up.

I will get back the day after tomorrow, and I won't meet my fiancee until january :(. Its quite long time to go, but I will get married with him on january, and I hope I can come to england soon.. I definetely will miss him sooooo muccchhh..

A day shopping in London for my weding 'seserahan'!

London is one of my favorite shopping places in the world. I bought all my "seserahan" here, included my engagement ring, my wedding ring and also a diamond earing for my wedding. In indonesia, there is a tradition called seserahan. The groom should give his bride gifts before they get married. minimal items for the seserahan are 6, and I got 12 seserahan gifts from my groom to be, which I choose myself, so I know what I really like. I bought a lingerie and a bra sets, dreeses, iphone, make ups, yes lots and lots of make ups. I love make up and etc. We also choose our wedding ring and engagement ring here, we so in love with the model of my rings. I really love it!. Shooping in oxford street, regent street and in a bond street really takes a daaaay long. but it was fun and I got anything what I want. Yes girls, you can find anything here, anything! From the cheap shop until a pricey shop you can find it in here. If you visit london someday, this is the place I recommended the most. I used to visit london since I was kid and these places I never ever missed to visit. Happy shopping!

L'occitane Imortelle brightening skincare



Since i moved to UK, i dont know why but my skin start to develop spot, blemishes, breakouts. I bit confused, because i never had this problem before. I tried many facial care from boots, and it didn't work. Back in my country I used a SKII skincare, its a skincare from Japan, but i cant find it anywhere in here. Some of my friends said that L'occitane its good. Based on the internet research, my friends opinion, so i decided t try the L'occitane product.

I want to have a luminous, radiant skin without any blemishes and spot on my skin. So i visit a L'occitane store in Cambridge, which its was a new store and it was the first day of the opening, so i got 15% discount. (Lucky me!!). I tell the L'occitane girl about my problem and she said i should try these brightening product. so i decided to buy all of the skin care.

 The Immortelle Brigthening Foaming Facial Cleanser
This is the first step of my cleansing routine. What i like about this product is because this product is soap free. Its also smells heavenly.

The Immortelle Brightening Water
This is the second step. The toner. Toner is really important because it will clean your face even more. you will be surprised to know how much dirt left in your face if you only use a daily facial cleanser. I love this product, it doesnt dry out your skin, and give a luxury little treat on your skin.

The Immortelle Brigthening Moisturizer
This is the last step of my skincare routine. This is day and night moisturizer. I really love the smell. My boyfriend said France store is always smells good, well i think he probably right. hehe. I have been so amazed by the texture this cream. It so fresh and easy to apply. Also I have been really seeing the difference since I am using it, my skin was so dull after winter and my complexion is now so much brighter and luminous.Many people have found the grainy issues during the day when they used this cream, i tell the L'occitane girl about this issues and she said, it only happen when you put too much cream on you face. And she is right, i have no problem about the grainy issues. I really pleased with this cream..

The Immortelle Brightening Shield
This is the best sunscreen i ever buy. This is SPF 40 sunscree, but it is light, non-greasy and had a beautiful sheen to it that makes my face glow & look really healthy and also smell heavenly. I cant go out without my immortelle brightening shield.

Powder, mascara and lipstick




BobbiBrown Powder

I love this powder. its quite pricey, its about 26poundsterling. but worth to have. because powder is really essential in daily basis. this powder really covered you skin best. it makes my skin looks smooth even without foundation on it. if i wear a foundation and put this powder, its really make my skin looks radiant and covered all my breakouts and spot.

They're real mascara by benefit.
They said it will make your eyelashes lengthens, curls, volumizes, lifts & separates.Well im not into this product so much, because i find that it is volumize my mascara, but it dont lift and curls it.

Rough Edition Lipstick and lipgloss by Bourjois
This lipstick works well, i love this color and it doesnt make your lips dry. And i also love the lipgloss, the gloss stay for quite long time.

StayFlawless 15 hour Primer
Benefit claim: Flawless works overtime! Our instant PRO-long primer acts like a magnet to lock on your foundation for 15 fresh & flawless hours.

My review : this primer is invisible when you apply it on your skin. but this is also works great to lock your flawless look for 15 hours, even with my tendency to touch my face, it didn't budge. Sometimes when we do make up, we really need to avoid the sun, because if we getting sweat it will ruin our make up. but Thanks to this primer, even when we sweat, the complexion will set perfect in my face. i dont need any retouch in all day.

Hello Flawless foundation
 Benefit claim : Hello...it's flawless time! Our new oil-free brightening liquid foundation builds from light to medium coverage for a natural complexion you can believe in. It's you...just more luminous & healthy looking.

My review : This foundation is light, natural, smooth and in a perfect colour. it really works great with the primer. I've bit blemishes and breakouts and this foundation covered it perfectly. I apply this foundation with my magic beauty blender. And it works better than when i applied it with sponge, brush or hand.

High Beam
benefit claim : Our satiny pink liquid highlighter accents cheek & brow bones for a radiant glow. 

My review : Yes girls. i agree, benefit said this is "super model in a bottle" and yes it is. I cant go out without this. High Beam creates a radiant glow which shimmers, bright sheen, that's not too overpowering, and it sits perfectly on my skin. I used it on my brow and cheek bones

Stay don't Stray 
Benefit claim : This dual-action power primer works 360 degrees around the eyes to make concealers AND eyeshadows STAY PUT. 

My review : I love the packaging, i like it comes with wands, so it easier for me to apply it. this product really makes your eye shadow stay on all day and makes it so you really don't need to put as much eye shadow on to really get the color on your eyelids. 


Benetint
Benefit Claim : Our original rose-tinted stain is kiss-proof, see-through colour for lips & cheeks that lasts for hours.  

My review : I love benetint only for my cheeks, because i feel benetint not so good on my lips. For my cheek, benetint make a rosy pink natural blush, i really love it for a day make up.
