Hello

Hi there ladies! (and maybe gents?)

Welcome to my newly established beauty blog. I honestly don't really want to call this an 'established beauty blog' yet cuz I'm still far from what you call a Beauty Expert. I'm here to give my honest review as a general consumer (please take a note of this), as well as to keep track my skin care and make up routine.

Why do I make this blog? Because I want to share my experiences of my skin care and make up journey to the people out there. Who knows that it might be helpful for others who want to buy some products but still unsure about it. There might be tons of beauty blogs out there already but adding some information from another different perspective is never wrong, yes? So, let's get started.

I personally have a combination skin. You know, oily t-zone and normal/dry on other areas. My concerns are I am prone to acne because of my hormone, and visible pores around my nose area. My foundation shade is MAC NC30-NC35, so I have an olive undertone and tend to use a warm/golden shades of foundation.

I am currently obsessed with Korean skin care because they tend to be cheaper than the Western ones but still really good and has a lot of variance. If you like to observe Korean or other Asian skin care products, they constantly innovate their products to keep up with the trend. As the result, you can see a bunch of interesting and innovative skin care products from function to packaging wise. As for make up, i usually go for the Western ones because they are usually more pigmented and long-lasting. However, I've been wanting to try a Korean base makeups (foundation and powder) cuz I heard a lot of good things about them. As for their color makeup? Well, they tend to go for a soft and subtle 'no makeup' look so their color products still haven't really catch my attention.

As now I currently live in Indonesia (because I'm Indonesian duh), I might also try to find a good and cheap local skin care and make up brands. I can't wait to see how the local beauty market grows as there are a growing number of beauty enthusiasts in Indonesia these days. So hopefully in years Indonesian brands will be comparable to the foreign ones in terms of quality and price.

So that's all for now. I can't wait to post my first beauty review and share it to the world. See ya!

XOXO,
aruderra.
