EVENT - Brun Brun Paris x Beauty Journal Roadshow Medan

Hello guys ! So I was invited to Brun Brun Paris x Beauty Journal roadshow event at 8th of Dec.

When I first arrived, I was asked to sign the registration form, and receive a card which will be exchanged with the goodie bag later.

After I've found a seat, I went to the look for the canapes ( I mean who doesn't love foods? )

And beside the canapes table, there are Brun Brun Paris ' s pop up booth, which we're able to look around and buy some products.

We also relaxed to the sounds of the live band while waiting for Rachel Goddard ! YES Rachel Goddard came here to show us beauty demo ! <3

Around probably 14.30 or 15.00, Rachel Goddard shows up !!!

But I was too excited that I didn't took any pictures during her beauty demo ( I was busy Instastory - ing lol )

So here's a glimpse of her :p

Ain't she looks so beautiful ? <3

Anyway she did a beauty demo with Brun Brun Paris's products, such as Lip Eye Cheek Color, Pink Magic Kiss & Blush ( which I bought later on because it looks so pretty ! ) , and upcoming product, which is a new palette that consists of eyeshadows, lipsticks, blush, and bronzer ( I swear they're so pigmented ) & I cannot wait for it !!! I mean it is only Rp. 99.000 with such good quality, and literally everything in a palette !

* will try to review the product once I got it ( I hope )

After the beauty demo, the event doesn't end yet. We had a SHOPPING RACE !!

All the attendants are divided into 5 groups if I'm not mistaken, and I was in the last group, called Brunelli ( I wonder if I spelt it right ).

Team members

Team members

To play the shopping race, each team were given 2 hints at first, which each team are divided into 2 sections of 5 members ( one to finish the fashion shopping , and another to finish the makeup shopping )

Brun Brun Paris Lip Eye Cheek Color Review

Hello guys ! Long time no see.

I received a package from Sociolla today, which is BrunBrun Paris Lip Eye Cheek Color. They sent me 6 colors, which are mostly red-tone.

up to down : Civilized , Innocent, Entrapment, Elite, Jetset, Classical

I tried it on my lips, eyes, and cheeks ( like its name ) using the shade Civilized , and surprisingly it's very easy to blend ! Well I mean we wouldn't want to have patchy looking eyes & cheeks, right?

The color is pigmented and has matte finish ( but feels more to the velvety side ). It does transfer a little, but doesn't really change how it looks on the lips. I love the color selections, since I am more to the pinkish shade rather than brown. Also love how the tube is square and sleek looking.

They're very affordable too, only cost Rp. 45.900 each ! Very recommended to beginners who are searching for affordable makeup products, especially with the fact that this product is 3in1.

Ohhh andd BrunBrun Paris will be holding an event at 8 December, and I'm wayy too excited because Rachel Goddard will be there too !!!

Please do stay tune at my blog for my update about the event later !

See you guys later

Love,

Novita Sari

REVIEW - Absolute New York Icon Palette

We're back again with another MBG x Absolute NY Makeup Competition !

This time, the theme's Iconic Look, which shows our own characteristics through our makeup.

Did the makeup looks with all Absolute NY Products, at their counter in SOGO Sun Plaza.

And here you go

 As you can see, I tend to go for long looking eyes with straight liners >.<

I always apply my shadow darker above the crease, and apply some light shimmery shadow on the center of the lid. Well all that to enhance my half-monolid eyes T-T

I also put some shimmery shadow on the inner corner to brighten it up.

And as you guess, didn't win the competition as well this time lol

But I did received a goodie bag from Absolute NY after I've finished doing my makeup :

 Inside the goodie bag, there are Icon Palette, Modest Matte Liquid Lipstick, and Concealer Pencil.

1. Icon Palette - Exposed

 Consist of 2 Mattes and 10 Shimmers

Packaging : made from tin metal (?) , include mirror and dual ended brush

Pigmentation : Mostly very good, but some lighter color tend to shows up less.

Texture : quite smooth, but have some fallouts

Price : Rp. 255.000

This palette is suitable for both neutral or smoky looks, recommended for beginner to use, espcially because they included a dual ended brush that's very useful.

Rate : 4.5 out of 5

2. Modest Matte Liquid Lipstick

Much darker in real life, picture is taken right in front of my window

Shade : MML04 Whisper

Pigmentation : Good

Texture : Thick creamy, easy to apply

Transfer a bit, easy to remove

Price : Rp. 155.000

Honestly don't really like this colour, because it's mauve kind of shade and looks very dark on me in real life... so yeah, would probably love it better with pinkish nude shade :(

Rate 4 out of 5

3. All Purpose Pencil - Concealer

Doesn't came in a box

Texture : very smooth, super love !

Price : Rp. 75.000

this works really well for the eyebrows ! haven't tried it on my lashline, but I think it'll work too :)

Rate : 5 out of 5

REVIEW - Absolute New York Starry Eyed

So Medan Beauty Gram and Absolute New York held a makeup competition on 08 Feb-23 Feb.

We were given the theme Valentine / Chinese New Year makeup look, and we used all of Absolute NY makeup products at their counter in SOGO Sun Plaza.

I decided to go with Chinese New Year look, since Valentine has passed.

I lengthen my eyes with straight long liner, almost straight brows to give the innocent look, red lips as a symbol of CNY celebration, and some glitter in the inner corner & crease to add more festive look.

On 4th of March we gathered again at Absolute NY Counter in SOGO because they will announce 3 winners.

I didn't win the competition though, but I'm glad that I participated because I earned another experience :p

Besides of the winner announcement, Absolute NY introduced their newest product, which is Starry Eyed metallic liner.

Starry eyed consists of 5 metallics and 1 matte.

I used Solar on my crease & lunar on the inner corner [ as seen on my selfie above ]

My most favorite of all is the shade Lunar, because it is the perfecttttt shade for the inner corner T.T

Unluckily when I chose it, they're running out of stock, and so I went with Solar. I also received a dual ended lippie call Perfect Pair - Duo Parfait.

Swatches. excuse my messy drawing though

1. Starry Eyed metallic liner

Shade : Solar
Pigmentation : Very Good

Applicator : Stiff brush, makes it a bit hard to apply

Texture : Liquid, but not too watery, dry fast, and doesn't smudge

Price : Rp. 135.000

I absolutely love this liner, but would be happier if I had the Lunar one, it's amazing !

Rate : 5 out of 5

2. Perfect Pair - Duo Parfait

Shade : ALD01 Sugar & Spice
Pigmentation : Very Good

Texture : A bit dry, doesn't glide very smoothly on the lips

Price : Rp. 155.000

This lippie is dual ended, it has a lip liner on one side, and lipstick on the other side.

Honestly the color doesn't really blend very well together as a lip liner, since it is way darker than the lipstick itself. But they're great for Korean ombre lips.

Rate : 3.5 out of 5

The Balm Blogger Exposure - Instain Blush

On 17th of February, me and Medan Beauty Gram members went to Sogo Sun Plaza to attend The Balm blogger exposure. They came out with their newest collection, which is the Instain Blush collection.

\

Shade : Swiss Dot ( peachy-orange )

Shade : Argyle ( soft pink )

Shade : Houndstooth ( mauve-pink )

Shade : Lace ( bright pink )

Shade : Toile ( peachy pink )

Please note that every colors may look slightly different in real life because of the lighting.

there are 5 kinds of shades, which is Swiss Dot, Argyle, Lace, Houndstooth, and Toile.

I wonder if you notice anything about the packaging?

1. It looks like a magazine

2. Every single shade has different patterns inside, which correlated with its own name

3. Each women on the packaging wore the blush color on their cheeks

After swatching all of the colors, I decided that my favorites are Swiss Dot, Houndstooth,and Toile, but since I have to choose one, I decided to take Swiss Dot, because the color looks very bright and fresh, plus it would be really nice to add some peachy-orange blush to my collection *teehee*

We were given Meet Matt(e) Hughes liquid lipstick to try as well, in which I choose commited because it looks like a very beautiful nude pink <3

The Balm Counter at SOGO Sun Plaza, Medan

The products I received at the event : Meet Matt(e) Hughes Liquid Lipstick & Instain Blush

1. Meet Matt(e) Hughes - Committed

The first thing I noticed when I apply this liquid lipstick, is that it smells like mint chocolate !!!

I don't usually love lip products with "smells" , but this one is different, it doesn't stink and instead it smells really relaxing. The mint also gives a cooling effect on the lips, and I swear it feels really good lol

The consistency is not liquidy, but not very creamy too, easy to apply and feels smooth on the lips.

The pigmentation is great, the shade Committed is like my lips but better kind of color, and I've been wearing it ever since because I really like it. As it claims, this liquid lipstick is long lasting, even after I've ate some foods, it's still there ! Superb loveee

2. Instain Blush - Swiss Dot

Cute magazine-looking packaging

Correlated with its name, the patterns are polkadots

The shade name is also printed on the side of the packaging, just like a magazine does.

wearing it as blush and eyeshadow

The Instan blush I choose is Swiss Dot, which have peachy-orange kind of shade. It looks beautiful as the blush itself, and also nice for eyeshadow too ! The texture of this blush is very smooth, and doesn't feels powdery. Just like the name, Instain blush claims to be long lasting because it stains the cheek beautifully, and it think it does did the job.

Note that this product is VERY pigmented, like seriously. When I first tried it, I get used to tapping my brush into the product very hard which causes me to look like an orange tomato. So just be careful, use little by little and you'll look amazing ! Highly recommend this product to everyone who loves blush like I do <3

If you're living in Medan and you're interested in buying The Balm products, you can simply go to their counter at SOGO Sun Plaza.

Love,
