Pink and Undecided: blog award

Liebster Award 4, 5 & 6 + 2nd Sunshine Award

Haiiiii...!!!

This is horribly late but i've been busy with other stuffs so only now i get to do this... Sooo... I've been tagged for our 4th, 5th and 6th Liebster Award and Second Sunshine Award a while ago! It's quite crazy but very flattering that we have enough readers kind enough to nominate us hehe, that's why i decided that i should do the tag (again) even though it's very late (and it makes a good filler post and fast to do so it's quite fun!).

Like usual, i will not be tagging other blogs (because i've run out of people to tag as we've done this tag numerous times already) and also skip the random facts (because then i'd have to write sooo many of them, i mean... we got 4 nominations *___*) but i will answer every questions.

First up is the Liebster Awards :

From Tiffani of Little Piece of Heaven :

1. Your daily make up?

I don't wear make up daily, but when i do that'd be BB Cream, concealer, powder, eyeliner, blush on, lip balm+lipstick!

2. Your current favorite make up style :

Gyaru make up with circle lens, thick eyeliner, va va voom eye lashes, pinky blush and glossy lips (i am loving neon colored lips too!)

3. Your favorite make up brands :

Etude House and Maybelline, but i basically like almost every brand with affordable price and cute packaging :p.

4. What your ultimate bucket list?

Traveling the world, at least visit every continents once!

5. Your HG product(s) of all time:

Maybelline Volum' Express Turbo Boost Mascara and Revlon Top Speed Top Coat

6. What part of your face do you usually want to emphasize? Lip or eyes? why?

Eyes, coz i think my eyes are really nice LOL. I don't mind my lips too but i think they're too thick sometimes.

Don't you think my eyes' pretty? *wink wink*

7. What your weakness when it comes to make up technique?

I am no makeup expert, probably all of my technique's pretty crappy *LOL*. I don't really know how to blend my eye shadow and i definitely have no idea how to contour.

8. BB cream, CC cream, or foundie? why?

BB Cream coz they are so convenient, easy to use, multi purposes, kind to my skin, and has a natural looking finish. I also find them less clogging for my pores than foundies.

9. What are your favorite fashion style?

I'm a lolita at heart, so everything that's kawaii, pink, lacey and frilly. I'm quite a chameleon though so i like to change up my style all the time, but my ultimate fave would be fairy kei (mild one, i don't want to give people heart attacks by going full blown in Indonesia).

How i really want to dress everyday if i live in Japan and not in stiff Indonesia

10. Your dream job?

Errrr, professional blogger that gets paid to travel and review stuffs *LOL*.

11. What country do you want to visit the most? why?

Japan!!! Coz i am obsessed with everything Japanese! Actually it was France, but i've been there last year so now i have a new goal!

Fingers crossed, i'm coming in 2015!!!

Next up's questions from Cut Auzola from Bowbowdorable :

1. do you like to use contact lens better when doing makeup look or just stick with your natural eyes? why?

Contact lenses, the enlarging ones. One, because i am blind as a bat without my -6.00 contacts and two, because i love the dolly effect enlarging contacts instantly gives. My make up style preference is dolly and gyaru, and contact lenses totally works to enhance the effect i am aiming for.

2. what hair color do you want most?

Half pink half violet! Because they're my most fave colors ever and because i really want a pastel head!

My dream hair color!

3. matte or shimmer eyeshadow? why?

Shimmer. Coz i love my eyes looking bling2 hehe. I prefer nude, shimmery colors than any matte ones for everyday use.

4. favorite disney princess?

Errr... Does Elsa counts? She's technically a queen, but she was a princess first!

I was a princess for 90% of the movie, you know!

5. what makes you want to be a beauty blogger?

Coz i love makeups (and other beauty related products like bath and body cares, etc) and i love writing, so why not write about makeup too?

6. your favorite person of earth?

Hm... My husband? I have several, and people might scold me for not saying my son, but my fave would be my husband *LOL*.

7. Smokey look or natural look? why?

Natural. I don't even know how to do a decent smokey look *LOL*. I prefer to play with eyeliners than eyeshadows.

8. Favorite makeup guru?

I must've answered this a million times. Don't have one, i don't watch a lot of You Tube tutorials, but i like Michelle Phan and watched almost all of her videos back to back once. From Head to Toe's Jen's awesome too, but i like Michelle first and foremost.

I think Michelle Phan is quite awesome, and her boyfrie is yum yum!

9. favorite face wash?

I constantly change my face wash and i don't really have a favorite, most of them work equally well for me. I really can't think of any >.<! I'm using Biore's (the Japanese one, not local made one) and loving it right now!

10. your biggest beauty problem?

I hate my moles, does it count? If not then my panda eyes that can be fixed with concealers but then they'd be all cakey after concealer and powder *sigh*

11. What makeup brand you love most?

Maybelline has always been my fave coz they're so cheap and nice. I love Etude House too because of their cute packaging.

Sunshine Blogger Award

blog award

Hiiiii, people of the world!

So it seems to be the award season time again for this blog *LOL*, seriously the nominations always come in groups! I just got tagged for our FOURTH Liebster award, what do you know... But this is the very first time we've been nominated for this Sunshine Blogger Award :).

Thank you Kei from Brushes & Pens for nominating me :).

- I am currently addicted to Line Rangers game even though i don't even use Line.

- I love traveling like crazy, i feel suffocated if i do not get out of my town every few months.

- I set a goal to visit Europe before i was 30 (and made it happened last year!), now i have a new goal to visit USA and Australia before i'm 35, Africa before i am 40!

- I am a helpless shopaholic, i often feel guilty whenever i open any of my wardrobes (i have 18 doors wardrobe in my walk in closet and they're all bursting with stuffs >.<). But i forget all about them the next time i go shopping.

- People seems to think that i am so big that i have difficulties finding clothes (F them *LOL*) when in fact i fit into most free size clothing and wear M for international brands.

- I never comment badly about other people's appearance, if asked i will reply with the nicest comment i can come up with without lying to them and would appreciate if people would do the same.

- I am less strict with my son than my husband is, even if it looks very unlikely (him being the nice guy and me the emotional little B).

And my answer to the questions :

What do you prefer to do on Christmas, open gifts or give gifts?

-I sadly do not celebrate Christmas (even though i am Christian), but in general i love both giving and receiving gifts! We do need some balance in life, right?

Party invitation, do you prefer to wear a dress or pants?

-What kind of a question is this, dress OBVIOUSLY

What designer would you like to model for?

-LOL i'm no model material, but if i have to choose... Anna Sui's my fave!

A model you wish you were?

- Errrr... i'm not into models, i don't even know many of their names. The closest thing might be... Miranda Kerr? She can keep her face, i just want her body *LOL*.

When you go on a date do you prefer Movies or Bowling?

-Movies! I don't bowl.

Which will you have to like, a mountain or the beach?

-Mountain. I'd love to live in a house in the mountain (but go back to the city every weekend of course, how else am i supposed to shop???) because it'd be cold. I'm not much of a beach person.

Favorite Lip Balm?

-I don't really have any, i collect lip balms like i would die if i don't have 100 of them (and i'm not picky about them. I collect them all *LOL*). But my current obsession is Maybelline's Baby Lips and i'm trying to collect every single variant they have.

Restaurant or home made food?
-I like to eat out once or twice in a week, but for every day home made is the best (not to mention healthier).

Eggnog or Champagne?

-I don't even know how eggnog tastes (never tried them), so champagne for sure!

Liebster Award 2 & 3

beauty questions

Hi everybodehhh!!!

We've been tagged for Liebster award (again!), two times in a row! Wow! This time the tag came from Bunga and Nindya, thank you both for tagging this blog :).

We have done the requirements for this award the first time we were tagged and even then i had hard time tagging 10 other blogs, so this time i'm just gonna answer all of the questions asked by them, that's fair enough right?

Because most of the question's beauty related, i'm not gonna ask #Undecided to answer them haha she will kill me (not a very girly girl, that one)!). And i'm going to translate the question to English (Bunga's because they were in Indonesian) and answer them in English too (because we have quite a lot of international readers and because it'll save me some time, i know i need to learn to write in Indonesian better and there will come a day when i HAVE to write in Indonesian, but i would be the first to admit that i suck (weird, since it's my native language and all, #Undecided totally relate though!) when it comes to write in proper (and in a matter that's presentable and entertaining for the readers) Indonesian-so i am SO not ready. Not now.

First up, questions from Bunga :

1. Jelaskan kenapa kamu menjadi beauty blogger?!

(Explain why did you become a beauty blogger?)

Well, if you pay attention to this blog you'd know that i am not really a beauty blogger per-se, i'm more of a lifestyle, beauty, fashion blogger, all rolled into one but i am very interested in beauty, that's why i do write a lot about beauty. So the answer would be, because i love love love make up and i love to share my newest findings/likes/dislikes/experiences!

2. Siapa yang menginspirasi kamu? (ga harus orang yang menginspirasi dalam dunia makeup)

Who inspires you? (doesn't have to be related to make up world)

I've answered this question on the first Liebster award, i've linked the post up there and you can click it to read my answer there :).

3. Lebih suka makeup ala-ala korea atau bule?

Do you prefer Korean style make up or Western style?

Neither, i prefer Japanese (gyaru) :). But i love Korean gradient lips and often use that style.

Gyaru style. I am not a fan of gyaru models though so i am not familiar with their names, i think this is Tsubasa Masuwaka?

4. Kalo disuruh pilih lipstik atau eyeliner lebih pilih mana? kenapa?

(If you have to choose between lipstick and eyeliner, which one would you

choose and why?)

Can i choose blush on instead? LOL. Okay lah, eyeliner! Because it really opens up my eyes, makes it bigger and livelier while i can get away without lipstick since my lips are already naturally pink.

5. Apa arti keluarga buat kamu?

(What does family mean for you?)

Can't live with them, can't live without them? LOL. I love my family to death but sometimes they can suffocate me (i'm talking about my 'rents and siblings). As for my little family, they are my everything. But family is not only those who are related by blood, family are the people who love, accept and will be there for you no matter what. My best friends are my family too, they are the family THAT I CHOSE (coz you can't choose the family where you're born, right?).

6. Lebih suka berlibur ke pantai apa pegunungan?

(Do you prefer beaches or mountains?)

Both, because i love traveling to any type of destination (wanderlust and all). But i like mountains better because i prefer cold than heat!

And because i can dress like that in cold places. That furry coat with bear ears' on top of my wish list now!

7. Apa skincare yang rutin kamu pakai?

(What's the skincare that you routinely use?)

I use a dermatologist' prescriptions' creams but i also alternate using all kinds of skin cares so my skin won't be dependant on the dermatologist' creams. I do not have any specific brand for the alternative skin care though, i just use all of the stuffs i got from Beauty Boxes, currently using Clarins'.

8. Apa eyeshadow favorite kamu? Sebelum pakai eyeshadow suka pakai eyeshadow base terlebih dahulu atau engga?

(What's your fave eyeshadow? Do you use eyeshadow base before or not?)

What you mean like the brand? Don't have any favorite brand for eyeshadow, really. I wear whatever, i don't mind locals, Asian, Western, anything will do hahaha. I prefer shimmery ones over the matte ones for sure. And yes, now i almost always use eyeshadow primer first.

9. Barang apa yang lagi pengen banget kamu beli?

(What item that you really want to buy at the moment?)

Everything in Victoria Secret's new store in GM. Except the lingerie. I want all of the perfume, bath and body cares, make ups, EVERYTHING! I asked hunny if i can buy at least one ~~package~~ per month, and when he said yes, i asked for three, then when he still said yes i was like "What about five?", that's when he got annoyed at me and told me to buy the store instead.

This is not the store in GM (look at the mark on the right, i got the picture from Google) but it looks really similar :)

10. Alat makeup apa saja yang wajib kamu bawa di tas kamu?

(What make up items are a must on your bag?)

Oil blotter, lip balm, lip color, eyeliner. Little mirror and comb are not make up items, but they are also a must! I actually have an entry about what's inside my make up pouch that i bring everywhere.

11. Apa saja brand makeup favorite kamu?

(What are your favorite brands of make up?)

I love all brands really (same answer to no 8), whenever i see a brand that i haven't had before i'd be very tempted to buy something. But in general i love Etude House because of their packaging :p.

That's the questions from Bunga :). Now moving on to Nindya's :

1. What are your favorite beauty blogs/Youtube channel?

Hmmm, i follow a lot of blogs but i don't really have a fave BEAUTY blog. My fave blogs are Xia Xue's, Qiu Qiu's, Cheesie's and Aud's, and none of them are specifically beauty blogs. I don't watch a lot of YouTube either...

2. What are your favourite beauty products?

Lippies (lip balms, lipsticks, lip glosses), blush ons and candy colored eye shadows!

3. Tell me your skin care routine (head to toe) and what products that you use?

What???? That'd be like, a few entries by itself *LOL*. In general : I use shampoo (of course), conditioner and hair vitamins/oil/serum. Brands : Dove, Sunsilk, Pantene, whatever's on sale haha. Facial skin : refer to question by Bunga (number 7). Body skin : body lotions, what brands? If you follow this blog you'd know i use different brands every time i finish one, that's why i have so many reviews on body cares :D.

4. Mention 3 of your best lipsticks and tell me why?

I am a very new fan of lipstick (i used to wear them only as a tint, i wear glosses more before), less than a year actually! So i haven't really tried a lot of lipsticks! For now my answer would be Revlon's Just Bitten Kissable (because they are so cute. Wrong reason? LOL), Revlon's lip butters (because they are so easy to apply and has surprisingly good color payoff) and Etude House's (like this one because of the packaging *again* LOLOLOL. Sorry lah, i am all about packaging!)

5. Do you listen to music/humming random songs while wearing make up? If yes, what is your favorite track? If no, why?

Mostly yes (if it's just my routine, 5 minutes one no-coz i'll be singing and dancing rather than doing my make up and it won't be 5 minutes anymore zzz), but i don't hum : i belt out songs! LOL. No fave tracks, i listen to whatever i love at the moment. There was a time when i put on Jong Kook Oppa's Han Namja (One Man) on repeat for weeks, then there was the Amy Bedgley/Leah McFall The Voice songs, then Frozen's soundtracks...

6. What is the craziest look you've ever made with your makeup stuffs?

I don't do fantasy make ups, but i did this once : Drag Queen. It's not that crazy (compared to other bloggers' fantasy make ups) and it's not even good *LOL* but that's gotta be the craziest for me.

7. What brand you always can't wait for the up-coming products and why?

Etude House! Why?

Ewww to the boyband (sorry Shinee fans!!!) but yes yes yess to the bottles!

Seriously. Need i say more???

8. If you could have any famous people hair and face to be your own, who would it be?

Can i have their body instead? I love my face and hair too much!!! LOL. I'd trade my body with any skinny b***'s! LOLOLOL. But i HAVE to choose then it's my version of the prettiest girl in the world, Ayumi Hamasaki.

9. If you had to go and can only bring one beauty item on your purse, what would it be?

Tough one... Oil blotter? Is that a beauty item? If not, maybe concealer for my panda eyes.

10. If you had a chance to create a makeup product with your own line, what would it be?

A make up palette, of course!!! I am obsessed!

Andddd, finished! Thank you again for Bunga and Nindya for tagging :), and thank you everyone for reading! I'm tagging everybody who wants to do this tag to answer the same questions! Leave me a link of your answers if you decided to do the tag!

Toodles!

A pic taken by hunny's new cam, i look very chubby (like in real life hahahah) but i like it!

Weezy Award

blog award

Hey hey everybody!

So, about a week ago we were tagged by the lovely Olin for out third blog award : Weezy Award!

I've heard about the previous two awards that we got (Versatile Blogger Award and Liebster Award) way before we were nominated, but this is actually the first time i've ever heard of Weezy Award, regardless-we're very honored of course to receive it. Thank you, Olin :D. The little note you wrote for me (us) was also very sweet!

Anyway, rules first!

Rules:

1. Make a "note" to the person who give this award.
2. Nominate 3 (or more) friends that you think they are close/good/kind/etc. to you.
3. Give a note to each of them.
4. Tag this award on those friends you chosen.
5. You can tag back if you want.

*NOTE: The more you received this award, the more it shows that you are friendly and like to be their friend. :)

I've been meaning to do this entry for a while but... As usual, one thing that burdened me whenever i'm doing this kind of thing... is i struggle to find someone (or for most awards, a LOT) to tag hahahaha. I spoke to #Undecided about it and since i already have one person in mind to tag, i didn't really know who else to pick for the next two. Then #Undecided mentioned someone-that we both want to write a little note about-and that gave me an idea. Why don't i write one note for one person i wanted, then write a dual notes from #Undecided and i for the second and make #Undecided write the third? Sounds ideal, yes???

So the first person i'm gonna write to is obviously Oline!

Dear, Olin...

Thank you for nominating us, like i said before-i was so honored when i saw my name on that entry of yours :D. And yes, i understand what you mean by us sharing a lot of common traits. If you call it "overly-honest", might i call it "straight forward and maybe a little b**chy* LOL. I feel like i know you much longer than i actually do, given the fact that we've only met each other TWICE so far! I love talking to you through BBM and read your entries (especially your haul posts, because haul posts always makes me feel better about my own spending..), i feel like your bright and fiery soul is showing through your writing. It's explosive, cheerful, and always entertaining :). I do hope that we'll meet again soon (and hang out more often with the rest, i am so happy now that i got to know lots of like-minded people/beauty junkies that i do not feel so weird and alienish for being addicted to cosmetics coz i am NOT alone!) and good luck with your university dream!

Wogh, that was a lot longer than i intended *LOL*, always got carried away once i start writing lah. Now, moving on to the three notes we need to write. First up is my nomination :

Dearest, Shasha.

I was your silent reader for a while back then and you're one of the very first Surabaya blogger that i found (i didn't even know any existed before! LOL. Thanks to IBB now i know there are actually quite a few of us around!). When i needed some girls to help me answered a questionnaire for my Collection job, you're one of the first people that came to my mind. And as i expected (because i always believe you're a very nice and friendly person just by reading your blog), you replied promptly and helped me out within a flash. Then we finally met in person *after BBM-ing each other for a few times* on that Collection event, even though we didn't have a chance to talk to each other much that day, i am more than a little touched when you actually featured me on the list for that NailBar event! Like with Olin, i'd really love to meet you again sometime soon and hang out (with the rest of the bloggers as well) more!

Second person is the one that #Undecided and i both want to tag : Arman!

Here's my note for him :

Dearest, Arman

I am sure glad i found that link of your blog from Elrica's! I've been following your blog ever since and always read your every entries. I love every single one of them, and i love seeing you with your little family. I also want to thank you for leaving comments on most of our entries (and your comments always indicated that you actually read our entries, not just skimming it like some people would when they encountered such heavily worded entries haha) and how you always seems to say the right words haha. Even though we've never met in person, i do hope that we all will meet you and your little family sometime in the future! Oh, you're still the only male blogger that i (we) follow :p.

Hi Arman,
It's #Undecided. Like I said before, it's always hard writing after #Pink because whatever I wanted to say, it's like she stole them out of my mouth. LOL. So please re-read her note to you and imagine that it's me saying it hahaha... Okay seriously now, thank you for always reading our blog. You were among the firsts to start dropping us comments and they helped us me to keep writing (you know, whenever I don't have the will to write - which is quite often LOL). I LOVE how you write. Simplicity speaks the loudest. And I love how dedicated you are to your wife and kids; and how cute you all look as a family.

Last person that we would like to tag is May.

Hi May,
What can I say... You're my virtual twin soul. Hahaha... It's CRAZY how alike we are; and how alike we react towards most things. I enjoy reading your blog so much because it's like me experiencing things that I haven't really experienced in real life (like your crazy old "love story") and thinking to myself: HEY THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WOULD DO. LOL. Please continue blogging and please continue writing. Please finish Eloise: The Story because I NEED to know how it ends. One day - if time allows - I would love to meet you in person and do a writing project together LOL. That would be awesome, don't you think?
Lastly, your tweets today got me quite worried. I hope everything is a OK. Heck even though it isn't right know, please know that IT WILL. *hugs*

That's it! I hope you guys have fun reading our little notes! We wrote this on Monday but i thought it would be a great start for October (opening the month with an award tag, couldn't be better don't you think?), hope we all going to have an awesome October! Toodles!
