Basically Just Me Rambling

Hiya guys!

Did you notice how many posts I've come up with this month? Geez. I thought I'll never go back to that phase where I could only come up with less than five entries a month. But unfortunately, sometimes those days are inevitable. However, allow me to defend myself in this entry that I disguised as "update".

First of all, like a memorable old song, my academic life got me tied up. Well that's something I'll never compromise. I also took a break and flew to my hometown, Jayapura, for a week where I didn't have my laptop with me. And then mom paid a visit afterwards, helping me to move out of my apartment. It was hectic. Second of all, I couldn't really play with my makeup. For reasons I don't know, my breakout decided to aggravate by the end of last month. I have this theory that it had something to do with a lot of stress I didn't realize I was under. I'm sure you know that the key to flawless makeup is healthy skin. So not only the result of my makeup was desperately flawed, putting on makeup on inflammatory acne was nowhere near fun. The pain was agonizing. So back on accutane I go! My skin is getting better now. I still have redness and acne scars scattered all over my face, faded a little bit, but at least the bumps have gone. So glad that I get to wear sheer to medium coverage foundation again (with some acne scars still peeking through, but I don't mind). The options used to be either bare face or high coverage foundation (I really put my Graftobian foundation to good use for these last couple of weeks).

Let's see, what else... Oh! Mom and dad just got back from their trip to Europe. Mom got me some makeup, of course. I have family there and my aunts, knowing my interest on makeup (they even found my blog!), also got me so many new makeup. I was completely in awe. There are too many!

I also added some foundations to my collection. I've been wanting to try all these for so long, especially Koh Gen Do foundation. So I took advantage of Sephora Friends and Family Sale. Just let me know if you want to know more about products you see here.

 

Speaking about too many makeup, I proudly announced that starting this month I am currently on makeup ban. Isn't that great? Those foundations were my last purchase and I bought them a month ago. Didn't see that coming, but finally come those days where latest makeup collections don't interest me anymore (although I still have a  soft spot for foundation). I mean, I still love playing with my makeup that I have. I just don't feel like I need to buy more, hence I rarely visit makeup counters lately. Not to mention I have enough makeup that will last until the apocalypse, so I'm good. Doesn't mean I'm running out of materials to blog, though. I still have products that I planned to write about.

Being on makeup ban apparently doesn't save me from bankruptcy at all. I think I have this pathological habit on spending money. Maybe subconsciously I just hate seeing my purse filled with enough money and prefer to be broke, instead. I am revisiting my old hobby now, reading. After two years didn't have enough time to finish a book briskly, I'm like on fire these days. Gramedia, Periplus and Kinokuniya have replaced  Metro, Sogo and Matahari department stores as my favorite places to visit. And man... Books these days are expensive. I mean a hundred thousand rupiah for a novel? Come on! And why do these authors keep releasing books in series? Why can't they just stop with one? OMG. (An irony coming from someone who just spent $62 on a bottle of foundation). These are some books I collected since the beginning of this month and I only read less than half of it so far. Well, in my defense... Oh, what the heck, I am defenseless.

Anyway, reading a lot of books really broaden my vocabulary and the nerdy side of me really excited about that.  I really want to incorporate that to my writing, however some of my friends told me that my vocabulary is already too complicated and hard to understand, especially for my Indonesian readers. I personally took it as a compliment *grin* but, just out of curiosity though, what do you think? I think that I'm still a rookie and there's nothing sophisticated about how I write. You wanna see sophisticated writing? Go visit my sister's blog. She got me perplexed all the time, even until now.

I tend to get carried away when reading (or watching movies or doing anything I'm into) and there were these periods when I'm reading certain books I like, I bombard my twitter timeline with the same topic over and over until it gets annoying. Apparently 140 characters aren't enough. So I decided to create another blog. This is not a book blog, mind you. Just a blog to write anything that interests me, other than makeup. And the blog is in Bahasa. So if you happen to have the same interests, feel free to pay a visit to myownlittlechair. I am still building the content and not sure where this blog is going to go at the moment. Probably just let it flow and not going to be obsessed about it too much. But who knows. That's how I started with allthatmakeup. Haha..

And speaking about my makeup blog, (this it the last point, I promise!), did you notice the new URL? I finally decided to purchase a domain. So it's allthatmakeup.com now. My blogger friends were very supportive about that. Nisa helped me a lot with the process given she just bought a domain herself. She said better hurry before other people took the domain. Did you know that there are two other blogs that go by the name "allthatmakeup"? Because the name was already taken, they added numbers behind it.

As I promised, this is finally the end of this pointless ramble. Here I write a lot just because I feel like to, really. I know this journal kind of entry might not be everyone's favorite nor that it'll take anyone's attention. But I don't care. I just need to let it out and get a little personal. As I said, it'll be nice to get to know the person behind all that makeup.

NOTW+ OPI Nicki Minaj Haul

It's weekend again, means I can do my nails again! This time I do another pattern of marbling. This is inspired by Collete's design from mysimplelittlepleasures. Her tutorial is mostly marble nails. Perfect if you wanna start to do marble nails. She's so talented!

For this marble nails, I used green, yellow and gold. I don't remember the name of the green nail polish. I'll get back at you on that. The yellow one is OPI 'Need Sunglasses?' and the gold one is China Glaze 'Jingle Bells'. For the base, I put Revlon 'White on White' nail polish. Honestly I don't really like this combination as the colors are not too contrast so it doesn't look as colorful as marble nails usually do.

Anyway I learned another point in doing marble nails while I did this nails. Apparently, the temperature of the room is super important! I did this while I was in my room with my air conditioner on. I kept having trouble that the polishes dried very fast on water so I didn't have enough time to run my toothpick over it. And it took me 2 hours until I realized that! What de heck!? After hours, I finally dipped my finger into the water and found out that it was already cold, not in a room temperature anymore. Argh! Lesson learned, the hard way. I think I'm having intoxication right now from hours of inhaling nail polish. *vomit face* I decided to apply glitter nail polish on my ring finger in the end, because I was already too tired of re-doing my nails *damn you, perfectionist soul!*

As you can seem the green and the yellow polishes don't really compliment each other and almost look just the same instead. But I'm glad that I got to do stripes marble nails! I'll try other colors next time.

And here's my latest nail polish purchase.

I've been wanting to get OPI Nicki Minaj collection. The colors in the mini version are so so pretty. I decided to buy the full size. 'Pink Friday' looks pretty when placed side to side with other colors from the collection but looked kinda blah when I tried it on my nails. I'm still on the fence about purchasing 'Pink Friday', somebody please talk me into or out of this.

The nail polishes tat I purchased are 'Fly' (teal), 'Did It on 'Em' (chartreuse green) and 'Save Me' (silver glitter). Can't wait to do marble nails with those!

How about you? Did you get anything from OPI Nicki Minaj collection?

Happy Holiday Haul

Hi guys! How's holiday treatin' ya? I'm so happy that I have three weeks holiday at the end of this year. Holiday is like a luxury for me. Don't get it so often. And of course, holiday is an excuse for hauling, not? Well, everyday is an excuse for hauling! LOL.

Anyhoo, my Sephora purchased has finally arrived.


I took the advantage of Friends and Family Sale to purchase Lorac Multi-Platinum Palette along with theBlam Mary-Lou Manizer. Since these are the two brands that I've been curious about.

On my first week of holiday, I went to Singapore with mom and sister along with some family friends who came to Indonesia to attend my sister's wedding. I was so excited because that was my first trip abroad since two years ago! This co-ass life really tie me down, I couldn't leave the city so often. People say Singapore is a too common destination for vacation as it's too similar to Jakarta (Umm.. believe me, if Jakarta is similar to Singapore I would never want to leave Jakarta. Unfortunately, for me, those two cities are nothing alike.) But I don't care. I just need a getaway from my boring recent activities. To be honest, I didn't even have any plan on what to do in Singapore, but then my sister told me that Wicked is currently performing at Grand Theatre, Marina Bay Sands. So that went right into the top of my list!


I watched Wicked together with my sis and some friends. It was a beautiful performance. Funny, smart, touchy. I was very entertained. Definitely in love Wicked. On our way to and from MBS, me and my sis kept singing 'Defying Gravity' like a broken record.

I also did some shopping, of course. Just a little, out of curiosity.

I got a set of Hada Labo skin care in travel size because I was so curious about the infamous lotion yet I didn't want to purchased the full size since I wasn't sure whether or not it's gonna suit my skin. I also purchased hourglass Extreme Sheen Lipgloss in 'Siren' which is a metallic tomato-red. I've wanted the gloss the first time I saw it at temptalia. I didn't know Singapore has Hourglass available at Sephora. When I saw it, I grabbed the gloss right away and took it to the cashier without even thinking. I'm glad I did!! Another thing is theBalm Balmbini palette that contains most of theBalm favorite's products in miniature. A great way to try theBalm products without having to purchase the full size first.

Back to Jakarta, I also purchased some things. Because... uumm... I'm out of reason. D'oh. But I was specifically looking for a red berry nail polish for Christmas, and the sales lady recommended OPI Bogota Blackberry to me. I also bought Revlon Satin single eyeshadow in 'Peacock Lustre'. I dropped by at NYX counter and got NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in 'Milk' because everybody seem to have it and I want one too!

Somewhere between Christmas and New Year, I got back to Singapore. This time with just my mom and dad. Again, wandering around Singapore not knowing what to do. But sale was everywhere! And I managed to grabbed these babies.

Some nail polishes, OPI It's My Year, Swimsuit... Nailed It and Need Sunglasses?. Since my my years as co-ass are about end, I can wear nail polishes liberally again so it' time to stock up again. I also got Milani Baked Powder Blush in Luminoso (again, can't believe Singapore has Milani and we have nothing here!) and Too Faced Naked Eye palette.

Well.. That's not too much right? Right? RIGHT???? I'm out of excuses except for the fact that shopping makes me happy! LOL. Anyhoo, gotta get back to my family's gathering. It's new year's eve and here I am in my room, blogging.

Since this is the last day on 2011 I just wanna wish you all the best on 2012. HAPPY NEW YEAR, everyone!! :)

Holy Haul!

I don't know if you noticed but it's been sooooo long since my last haul post. For one thing, I literally never HAUL anymore lately. Like, by definition, buy so many makeup in one month. And also there was this whole fuss about 'haul' where some people relate it to 'bragging'. But on second thought, whatever! I love other people's haul post. It's like browsing through items you just purchased after shopping without actually spending money. It's fun.

But this haul is actually accidental. I ordered all these stuff separately, *hoping* they'll arrive one by one. So, most importantly, I can pay them one by one. But since I ordered those around Eid al-Fitr where most delivery stuck in custom, these babies arrived all at once. I'm seriously broke right now. *story of my life*

This is the product I ordered the earliest. Real Techniques brush, by Samantha Chapman, one of the two sisters from pixiwoo channel on Youtube. She and Nicole (the other sister) use this brush a lot in their videos. They're great makeup artists and this brushes are good enough for them so I figured, let's give them a try! I purchased the Core Collection and the Stippling Brush. Just because, a girl can never have too many foundation brushes. Yup.

When Urban Decay and Tarte were having Sale, I also ordered these pretties. The Urban Decay cream shadows were only $3 and still available at Urban Decay website. I think it's a final sale until they're all gone. The shades are limited, though. I ordered mine in the shade 'Grass' and 'Midnight Rodeo'

I snatched Tarte Amazonian Clay blush during the Friend and Family sale. Everybody raved about this blush so I figured it was a right time to purchased it. I got mine in the shade 'Tipsy', which is described as 'coral' because I don't need another pink blushes. Originally I wanted to the shade Blissful, which is a warm peach, but it was out of stock at the time so 'Tipsy' should be fine.

And the one I'm the most excited about... Another foundation! Well, I've been a good girl. I think I almost run out of some of my foundations so that justify me to buy a new one. Haha. And I've always wanted to try Chanel (and Dior) foundation. So, after watching pixiwoo's video about 'Guide to Chanel Foundation' I decided to go with Mat Lumiere. I asked Putri what would my shade be, and she recommended 40 Beige. She was right, it matches me perfectly!

Well, I'm so happy with my recent purchase and can't wait to try them all!!! Hopefully I can report back in this blog as soon as I can.

More For My Lips!

When I first started doing make up, lipstick, lipgloss and everything for lips were my last interest. Just because, it's the only thing from your make up that will fade and gone by the middle of the day. You can use lip primer, you can wear long lasting lip color, once you have your lunch, then that is it for your lipstick.

Well.. those days are long gone.

Now that I'm turning into this make up junkie (I tried to stop, believe me!), I feel like I gotta have everything for every parts of my face. D'oh..

Anyway, here's what I purchased lately. And I realized that they are all lip products. I've been hearing a lot about the latest Revlon Colorburst and decided to give it a try. I didn't know what possessed me when I picked fuchsia color. But I've been wanting to try bright colors. One of the girls in Fashionesedaily wears fuchsia lips in her FOTD and convinced me that it'll look great and can be wearable too. My rule is, if I wanna try color which I'm not sure whether I'm gonna like it or not, I never go with high end brand. If I end up not liking it, it'll be a waste. Luckily, Colorburst line carries fuchsia color so I decided to buy it. It's in the name, "Fuchsia".

Another color that I got is "Crimson", which is a classic red, since I'm currently in the hunt for the perfect red lipstick. There are actually other reds in this collection and they are "True Red" and "Ruby". I swatched those two but the two colors didn't look red enough for me. Especially "Ruby", it has too much pink in it. "Crimson" is a warm red color and really suits my undertone.


Here's how the colors look like on my lips. See? Even the "Fuchsia" doesn't look that scary.
I wanted to get another colors from this line but nothing looks special enough. They all look like every colors you've seen before. So I got nothing other than those two. Period.

I also dropped by at Maybelline counter when I saw this pretty coral gloss. It's Watershine Liquid Pearl in "Spicy Coral". I've been looking for coral gloss just because I realized I didn't have any. I didn't even bother to swatch this on my lips because that'll be pointless. This gloss doesn't work alone. You need to layer it on top of lipstick. Wear it alone and you'll have nothing but shimmer on your lips.

For this next item, I didn't purchase it. I took it from my mom's make up pouch she left in her vanity. It's MAC Plushglass in "Ample Pink". You see, browsing through my mom's vanity really frustrates me. She has a lot of great stuff and she never really cares about them. I saw this plushglass still full and, hello, covered with dust. To be fair, my mom doesn't really care about make up. Some people have to save money for weeks or months to buy all the stuff she has (hint: her daughters) and she just ignores whatever make up that she has.

You think dust covered plush glass is the worst? I once saw a shedding MAC 129 brush. It didn't even look round anymore, more like a triangle. How did it end up like that, you might ask? Well. she pushed the brush to her cheeks until the bristles spread and the handle touches her cheeks, and then swirl it. Err.. But yeah, that's mommy. She is more of a bag person. For her, make up is necessary but she doesn't need high end brands make up. And if you find some high end brands make up in her stash, that's because some people convinced her that she'll need those. And that some people could either be her oldest sister or, well, me.

Anyhoo, Ample Pink is a warm mauve-ish pink. It's a little more pigmented than regular lip glosses. But it looks prettier when layered on top of lipstick. I put it on top of my MAC Kinda Sexy lipstick and they look so pretty together. And it has a stinging feeling (pretty sure why mom never wears this) which suppose give you that plumped lips. That might feel uncomfortable for some poeple. But I don't really have problem with that.

As for these Sephora glosses, my little sister just got back from Europe and got me these. Sephora was having sale and she bought some glosses, eyeliners and stuff. And she was, like, "Okay, pick items that you want and the rest are for our cousins." So I picked two glosses. The one in "Silver Toupe" (no.17), which is a shimmery champagne nude color and the other one is "Glitter Fuchsia" (no.23), described as fuchsia with pink and diamond glitter. I tried the "Silver Toupe" right away. The colors look so pretty on lips. And apparently, little sister thought so too. So what happened next, she took the other Silver Toupe which, you know, suppose to be for our cousins. LOL!

The other two that I picked, which are in tinier tubes, are plumping lip gloss. This has stinging sensation as well. My sister tried it on and removed it once the gloss started to sting. See? Not everybody can't stand lip plump. Anyway, I tried it but I wasn't sure if this gloss actually makes my lips look fuller. Maybe later I should ask other people's opinion.

Indonesian Beauty Haul

Lately I've been really into some Indonesian brands. I guess not having that many make up counters around makes me look in some places I've never looked before. I've been reading about Viva and Mustika Ratu skin care and decided to give it a try. So here's what I got from my last visit to Hypermart. Mostly skincare.

Taman Sari Papaya Enzyme Shower Gel
Lulur Kocok Seruni
Viva Cucumber Astringent
Viva Air Mawar
Viva Skin Food
Viva Bengkoang Face Mask
Sariayu Masker Jerawat

And of course I dropped by at makeup counters to get me these.
PAC Loose eyeshadow "Sexy Bronze"
La Tulipe Quad no.19
LT Pro Single eyeshadow no.06

I've tried some of the skincare and liking it so far. Really can wait to get back at you with some reviews.

Behold, My Early Birthday Present

Guys, please welcome my very first Book of Shadow. Yes, I finally got my hands on this latest Urban Decay Alice in Wonderland Book of Shadows.

So, I have a lot to celebrate in these first months of 2010. Well, with my graduation and my birthday is coming, I think those are enough reasons to give myself a nice present. And it's not just another birthday. It's my 25th! It's an important number, you know. That means, I'm old enough to get married! Haha..

Anyway, this book just arrived yesterday. I almost ran out of it. But I found one ready stock at Pinkymiki. I was so excited! I haven't even tried the eyeshadows. And my birthday is not until the end of the month, I thought I'm not gonna post this entry until then. But I'm just too excited, I can't wait to share the story on my blog!

For you whose already familiar with Urban Decay Book of Shadows, I'm sure you guys already know that this palette usually comes with sixteen eyeshadows, two 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencils and Primer Potion in mini size.

As for Alice in Wonderland Book of Shadows, the palette has pretty much the same material. But since this palette is made especially to celebrate the launching of Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland movie, the eyeshadows in this palette have been renamed to match to movie theme. They said, "Our shadows are topsy-turvy in Underland... Find their real-world names here":

• Underland (Flash)
• Alice (Painkiller)
• Oraculum (Baked)
• Queen (Last Call)
• Chessur (Chopper)
• White Rabbit (Polyester Bride)
• Wonderland (Maui Wowie)
• Curioser (Grifter)
• Muchness (X)
• Midnight Tea Party (Midnight Cowboy Rides Again)
• Vorpal (S&M)
• Absolem (Homegrown)
• Drink Me, Eat Me (Sin)
• Mad Hatter (Twice Baked)
• Jabberwocky (Oil Slick)

I know Urban Decay and Book of Shadows are famous for their glittery eyeshadows. Judging from what I saw, seems like Chessur, White Rabbit, Wonderland, Curioser, Midnight Tea Party and Jabberwocky have the most glitters, compare to the others. We'll see how those colors will appear on lids. Oh, and the two 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencils that included in this palette are 'Zero' and 'Flipside'.

If you watched Kandee Johnson's video about this palette and saw those cute 'Drink Me' chocolate sauce and 'Eat Me' mint pills, it kinda burst my bubbles a little bit knowing that these cute bonuses aren't included with the palette. But it doesn't matter. This palette is too cute, I forgot about those bonuses immediately. Haha..

I haven't got a chance to play with this palette, up until now. But I really can't wait.

Still Alive..

So I let the whole January passed with no updates at all. Well I try to keep up with at least one post for each month. But I really couldn't make it, especially last month. It was holiday so I have to go home to be with my family and celebrate holiday together, which was great! But going home means no time to take pictures, blogging and uploading. So yeah, no entries at all.

Not that it's important, but a little update about me, I finally graduate Medical School. So I have my bachelor's degree now. Yay for that! But I'm not a doctor yet. I have to continue as an intern in some hospitals for about two years, then I'll officially be a doctor.

Anyway, spending holiday without adding another products into my makeup collection doesn't really sound like me. I spent the last holiday traveling with my family. We went to Hong Kong, which I think should be awarded as Heaven for Make Up Junkies. Make up are way cheaper there, compare to where I live. I felt like was in heaven! I bought some MAC and some Japanese brand make up. So, here's some items I gathered from my holiday.

MAC e/s in "Carbon"
MAC e/s in "humid"
In customized palette:

• MAC e/s in "Mythology"
• MAC e/s in "Twinks"
• MAC e/s in "Star Violet"
• MAC e/s in "Brule"

MAC Paint Pot in Rubenesque
Kate Liquid Eyeliner
Majolica Majorca Lash Expander Frame Plus
Sana Pore Putty Make Up Base
MAC brush #219
Stila brush #21 Double duty cheek contour and blush brush

Oh, and my Urban Decay Deluxe Shadow Box finally arrived, before Christmas. Love it so much! Review and FOTD coming soon.


And some NYX lippies from department stores because I think I need more lip colors. I tried NYX round lipstick before and I fell for it. Love the texture so much, so I decided to buy more.

NYX Lips in "Snow White"
NYX Round Lipstick in "Thalia"
NYX Round Lipstick in "Cocoa"
NYX Round Lipstick in "B52"

So there.. First post in 2010. So glad to be blogging again. I hope it's not too late to wish everyone a happy new year. Oh, come on, it's only February. All the best for you guys. Cheers!

Mineral Makeup Haul

So my mineral package from Creamymilk finally arrived today. Tadaa... Well, not much, actually.

What I got:
Joppa Full Coverage Foundation in Medium #3
Everyday Mineral Semi Matte Base in Medium Tan
Everyday Mineral Color Corrector in Sunlight
Everyday Mineral Concealer Intensive Tan in sample size
Everyday Mineral Blush Game Show in sample size
Everyday Mineral Flat Top Brush

Here are some swatches, hope this will help. I got my Everyday Mineral base in Medium Tone, which is golden undertone base. As for Joppa, Medium #3 has more olive undertone to it. Here's the picture of two of them, side by side. Since Medium Tan is the second darkest shade in golden area, it appears a little orange on my skin, kinda like brick color (?) and it slightly darker than my real shade *sigh* As for Joppa, I haven't tried it. Although, judging from the color, I think it'll match me better.

As for concealer and corrector area, I got Intensive Tan concealer that is a concealer for medium to dark complexion. And Sunlight corrector, mainly because everybody raved about how great it is on concealing dark under eye area. Well, for someone with super dark under eye like me, I should give it a try, no?

Here's the what Intensive Tan looks like. I took this picture with flash and it looks kinda close to the real color. I tried, but I couldn't capture Sunlight corrector's real color. But you can still see it from picture above.

Last one is Game Show blush. Game Show fall under matte category. It's dark mauve color and super pigmented.

October Haul and Pre New Year Resolution

With the arrival of my stilas, it's official that all of my PO stuff are here. *Yayy!!* So here's this month's haul.

• Makeup Forever HD Foundation shade '128 - Almond'
• Stila Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer shade '01'
• MAC Face and Body Foundation shade 'C4'
• NARS Loose Powder 'Beach'
• Stila Lip Glaze Collection
• Sariayu Eyeshadow 'Reog'
• Sariayu Eyeshadow 'Merak Kasmaran'

Except for the Sariayu eyeshadows, which is local brand, I have to CPed all those products, like, halfway around the world. Simply because, I can't find those in my own country. Well, except for Makeup Forever but the shade that I ordered is Sephora exclusive and there's no Sephora here, so.. well.

Anyway, it's almost the end of 2009. And I made a promise to myself that:

1. I will not buy anything makeup related until the end of this year.
2. And I will make 2010 as The Year of Brush. I'll start collecting brushes.

I hope I can fulfill my promise. I mean it's only two more months to go right? Well, except that I snapped yesterday and ordered Urban Decay Deluxe Shadow Box. But that's it.. Oh, and Stila CanCam Palette. I can't help it since they're so pretty. I mean, look:

How could you not fall in love with them?? And Sephora is having Friend and Family Sale so I don't want to miss it.

But really, those palette are gonna be my last makeup-related purchase for this year. *crossing fingers*

Holiday Haul

So here's my holiday haul. I went to Sephora at Champs-Élysées, Paris. It's the largest Sephora and has the most complete makeup brands. Unlike Sephora in Italy or Spain, Sephora in Paris has Stila, Smashbox, Urban Decay, NARS and even MAC and Bobbi Brown (You can't find the last two at Sephora Lafayette). While regular brands you'll find in every Sephoras are Too Faced, Benefit, Sephora brands (of course) and some high end brands.

Anyway, I entered Sephora, hoping I could haul as much as I want only to found out how expensive makeups in Europe are. I walked in to NARS section and saw NARS powder blush for 29euro (couldn't find euro sign in my keyboard, d'oh!)!! And Stila Convertible Color for 23euro, Smashbox Photo Finish for 39euro. I could go on and on but the point is, they're so expensive. But I still bought some, mostly Benefit. And if you see high end brands such as Lancome and Dior, I bought it on discount price or Duty Free. And even the after-discount price equals normal price if I convert it to Rupiah!
