Review : Miniso Earphones

Halllooo semuanyaaa :D!

Siapa disini yang belum pernah denger tentang Miniso? Kayaknya semuanya pasti sudah sering banget denger dan belanja di Miniso yah? Jadi kalo emang ada yang belum pernah dengar, Miniso ini adalah brand dari Jepang yang franchise nya sudah ada dimana-dimana dan menjual berbagai produk (dari produk kecantikan, houseware, fashion sampai ke gadget. Semua serba ada deh!) super menarik.

Di Indonesia sendiri Miniso tergolong cukup baru tapi gaungnya udah kemana-kemana dan penggemar Miniso di Indonesia tuh udah banyak banget dan rata-rata jadi fans garis keras, contohnya aku sendiri hehehe. Aku cinta banget nget sama Miniso dan setiap kali ke mall, salah satu tujuan yang ngga boleh lupa aku kunjungin itu Miniso. Pokoknya main ke Miniso itu selalu bikin aku happy dan ngga bangkrut meskipun suka belanja melulu disana karena harga-harganya yang sangat ekonomis dan terjangkau.

Kalo aku paling sering belanja parfume (aku koleksi parfum Miniso, bener deh... Kalo ngga salah so far aku punya selusin dan masih mau nambah terus. Harga parfumnya starts from 29k aja, wanginya ngga kalah dengan merk-merk mahal dan tahan seharian! Aku tuh udah sukses bikin temen-temen aku ketularan dan pake parfum Miniso saking enaknya parfum mereka!), tas dan makeup brushes gitu (kalo kalian follow IG aku, kalian pasti tau aku sering banget belanja dan rekomen produk-produk Miniso di IG stories aku!), nah kali ini aku mau review produk Miniso yang agak berbeda nih, yaitu Miniso Earphones!

Miniso Earphones

Kalian pengguna earphones ngga sih? Kalo aku sih iya, terutama untuk nonton Youtube hehe, jeleknya aku tuh orangnya ceroboh banget dan suka keselip-keselip barang, termasuk earphones. Bayangin kalo punya earphones super mahal dan keselip terus ngga ketemu, dongkolnya kayak apa? Jangan kuatir, kalo nyari earphones murah yang kualitasnya ngga abal-abal, bisa cari di Miniso donk (harga earphone yang aku review ini under 50k lho!)! Selain harganya murah kelebihan lain dari earphones Miniso yang sangat mudah dilihat itu jelas design nya, jadi siapa bilang earphones murah gak bisa keren? Buktinya earphones Miniso tuh semuanya datang dengan design modern (pssst, selain basic earphones gini mereka juga punya special editions yang super lucu-lucu kayak We Bear Bare punya, itu lucunya ngga ketulungan deh!) yang bikin mata happy liatnya.

Earphone Miniso yang aku dapet ini lucu banget, warnanya neon green (ada pilihan warna macem-macem, kuning, biru, pink dll), terus lengkap banget dapet cable winder yang bikin nyimpen earphones nya gampang rapi dan ngga bikin kusut. Terus di earphones nya itu ada petunjuk kanan dan kiri segala, ini penting lho karena kalo kebalik kanan kiri itu suka bikin ngga nyaman dan aku biasanya suka kesulitan untuk membedakan mana bagian kanan dan mana bagian kiri, kalo sudah tertulis jelas gini jelas sangat membantu buat aku

Apa kamu juga sering ngilangin bantalan earphones kayak aku (OMG, aku kok... clumsy banget ya :(... tapi emang aku sering banget keselip dan kehilangan barang yang engga-engga deh zzz), kamu juga ngga usa khawatir karena di earphone Miniso ini sudah disediakan backup nya 2 pasang, 1 ukuran normal dan 1 yang kecil (mungkin untuk ukuran anak-anak nih wkwk, atau kalau kalian punya ukuran telinga yang kecil bisa pake bantalan yang kecil). Hebat banget ya Miniso, harganya murah banget tapi bonus nya ngga main-main T.T, tuh kan aku fangirling ke Miniso mulu capek deh

Keterangan lengkap produknya ada di balik kemasan

Earphones nya Miniso ini bisa di gunakan dengan berbagai merk device, aku sendiri udah nyobain di Ipad dan hp Android ku dan engga ada masalah sama sekali

Karena aku penggemar packaging yang unyu-unyu, aku suka banget liat case nya ini (mereka manggilnya silicon cable organizer), kalo ada organizernya gini kan lebih ringkes dan kemungkinan keselip juga jadi lebih kecil

Ini penampakan earphones nya sendiri setelah di copot dari organizer nya, panjang totalnya 120 cm (berat 13.4gr) dan warnanya itu loh, super unyu i love it!

Aku sudah makein earphones ini sekitar seminggu dan aku personally cukup happy dengan kualitas nya, suaranya kencang dan jelas terus ukuran nya pas dan bantalannya nyaman di telinga ku. Lubang telinga ku tuh sebenarnya agak kecil dan rewel gitu, ngga semua earphones bisa masuk dengan nyaman di telinga ku (ada beberapa earphones malah ngga bisa aku pake, masuk beberapa menit pasti copot lagi sendiri karena terlalu besar untuk lubang telingaku) tapi aku tidak menghadapi masalah dengan earphone dari Miniso ini, nyaman-nyaman aja! Jadi thumbs up deh untuk Miniso!

Jadi, kata siapa earphone berkualitas harganya pasti selangit? Pasti belum nyobain punya Miniso ya hehe :p.

Apa kalian penggemar produk-produk Miniso kayak aku? Kalo iya, selain produk-produk yang aku ceritakan, apa ada produk lain yang kalin rekomendasiin aku harus coba? Let me know di comment section below yah!

Althea Christmas Wish List : Althea Top 10 Products

althea

Helllooo everybody :D!!!

I bet you didn't see this surge of productivity coming, did you? I myself also didn't, but i am glad it's here haha!

Anyway, since Christmas and New Year is coming at a very alarming rate, this is the perfect time to get some nice gifts - be it for your loved ones or yourselves, and if you're a beauty lover like me.. Where else would you want to do your shopping but at Althea Korea? Haha! Yasss, since Althea Indonesia is back, we can now grab all those pretty Korean beauty products with super reasonable prices too (Althea Korea's prices are much MUCH better than the counters okay!).

As a newly appointed Althea Angel, i take it as a personal duty to let you know some of the must have products from Althea Korea (just a very small percentage of drool worthy products available there you know!).

So i present to you, my personal Christmas 2018 Althea Korea Wish List!

I am a makeup junkie, and although i also love skin and body care products, when it comes to wish lists... It'll always be crammed with makeup items for sure so yeah... 90% of the products in this list are makeup items hahaha! And the first three are special Holiday 2018 edition so if you covet them like me, i'm suggesting that you grab them now because they won't be around too long!

1. Laneige Wild at Heart Eye & Face Palette

Laneige Wild at Heart Eye & Face Palette

Look at how gorgeous the palette is!!!

Seriously, Laneige's Holiday 2018 collection makes my heart goes dugum dugum, they're all just so pweettyyyy! I must admit that i don't usually drool over Laneige makeup products because they are a little bit bland and expensive for me, but the holiday collection is very different than their usual neutral style (at least packaging wise) - it looks so cool that i almost don't mind the high price tag!

And so, the second item in my wish list happens to come from the same collection :

2. Laneige Wild at Heart Stained Glass Stick

Laneige Wild at Heart Stained Glass Stick

I dunno, even the name "Glass stick" makes me drool already *LOL*. I've always been a gloss kinda girl (i'd take glossy lips over matte one any day) so i am glad that the glossy lips are making a comeback - a juicy, kissable lips is promised by this delectable product so.. I want it!!!

3. Etude House Tiny Twinkle Dear My Blooming Lips Talk Velvet Mini Kit

Etude House Tiny Twinkle Dear My Blooming Lips Talk Velvet Mini Kit

It contains 10 tiny (1 gr each) lippies, it's too cute beyond words arghhh!

As a lippie addict, i have way too many lipstick than i can ever need. Does that fact stop me from wanting more? OFC NOT! But if i can choose, i much prefer smaller, tiny lippies so i can collect more of them and don't feel as guilty when i abandon them for new ones (because for full size there'd be a LOT more left being abandoned). I don't think i ever finished a whole lipstick in the past 10 years or so *LOL* so these tiny lippies... It's a perfect gift for lippie junkies like me! You get a lot but with acceptable sizes. Plus, aren't they just too cute to be true???

4. Rire Lucent Star Cushion

Rire Lucent Star Cushion

OMOOOO just look at this!!! How can i not go weak on the knees just looking at them, i ask you???

It truly is love at the first sight, i tell you. This Rire cushion's packaging is everything i love and more. It's pink, sparkly and glittery... If i am a makeup item, i would be this *LOLOLOL*. So yeah, i was about to get it without even knowing whatever the product is, purely for the packaging. And FYI, i am not even a fan of cushion. But when i finally took the time to check out what's inside :

And realized that it's a 3 in 1 cushion foundation, lip and cheek pact

Well. It's taken it to a whole another level. I MUST HAVE THIS!

5. Peripera Mini-mini Peppy's Carrier

Peripera Mini-Mini Peppy's Carrier

I never knew that i needed a tiny suitcase filled with mini makeup inside until i saw this!

Now this product is something that i have been eyeing for the longest time. I've seen the actual product while i was in Korea, i forced myself not to buy it because i have way too many makeups already, but it's been haunting me ever since. Anyway, it is filled with 5 of Peripera's best selling products so you know everything inside's good!

6. Coringco Marine Blue Makeup Brush Set

Coringco Marine Blue Makeup Brush Set

The only non makeup item in this wish list, it's a set of 6 makeup brushes from Coringco at a very affordable price. As a makeup junkie, i strangely don't have a lot of makeup brushes - and i am too stingy to splurge on them so this super value for money set is the perfect match!

7. Coringco Pink Square Dual Cheek

Coringco Pink Square Dual Cheek

The second Coringco product that's making it to my list. I recently got their Pink Square Dual Highlighter (also from Althea, ofc!) and now i really REALLY want their blusher especially this one in No 2 that consisted of the shades #Red Cinnamon and #Rose Cinnamon , red blushers are very pretty but quite rare and this one from Coringco has receives praises from my friend Chelshea so i really want to get my hands on them!

8. Etude House Play Color - Juice Bar

Etude House Play Color Eyes Juice Bar

Do you know that my fave Korean beauty brand is Etude House? I know, i am way too old to use Etude House but i can't help it. Their products are just so cute, so affordable yet high in quality. I just can't get over them! I always love how innovative and creative they are with their newest collections (i have yet to find Etude House's collection that i am not interested in) and even though Korean beauty are not known to have very strong eyeshadows, i always like Etude House's eyeshadow palettes! This one in Juice Bar contains the cutest, most wearable shades, it would be perfect to tow for travels!

9. Missha Wish Stone Tint Velvet

Missha Wish Stone Tint Velvet

This is another product that i have been eyeing for a while and since it's very affordable (i think it's the cheapest product in this list), i see no reason for not picking it up soon. I think it's obvious why i want it, the packaging is just too cute to pass on - and i've seen it in person, it's just as cute as the picture so... Yeah, if you are a sucker for cute packaging like me, you're gonna need this!

10. Touch in Sol Metallist Liquid & Glitter Eyeshadow Duo

Touch in Sol Metallist Liquid & Glitter Shadow Duo

I am actually not a fan of liquid eyeshadow (or highlighter), but i love how eye shadow glitters that comes in this form looks and i am willing to give it a go. This one from Touch in Sol (a brand that i've never tried before hence making it even more attractive to me as i love trying new brands!) looks amazing in the pictures so i'd love to try it and see if it's really that good in real life!

And that's it, my Top 10 Althea products wish list for this holiday! I can go on and on but i don't want to keep you here all day obviously *LOL*. What about you? What are in you K-beauty wishlist? Did anything from this list make it into yours as well? Please let me know in the comment section below!

Food4Skin 10 : Clinelle WhitenUp (SPONSORED)

beauty

Hellooo helloooo ^^!

How's everybody doin' in this wet and rainy season (it's actually cold in Surabaya right now so i'm guessing it must be much colder in other parts of the world!). Has the weather changes mess with your skin? It sure does mine! Thankfully all the craziness that the changing weather doing to my skin is minimized by my lovely current skin care routine from Clinelle WhitenUp series!

I am currently using Clinelle's new line : Clinelle Whiten Up series

If you are a follower of this blog then you'd know that i am no stranger to Clinelle. I have tried and reviewed two of their other skin care lines before (you can read my Clinelle PureSwiss Hydracalm review here and also Clinelle Caviar Gold review here) and in general, they products are really good, high quality and kind to my skin so when i got the chance to try this new line out, of course i jumped on the chance happily ^^.

Happy box containing the full series of Clinelle WhitenUp series

The entire Clinelle WhitenUp line consists of six items from cleanser, toner, serum, day cream, night cream to spot corrector essence

Before we go into details onto the products one by one, let me refresh your memory on why Clinelle products are all super good : their concept is "7 Secrets to the Happy Skin with 7 No's" - so all of their products contains none of these 7 dangerous ingredients :

1. No artificial coloring

2. No artificial scent

3. No lanolin

4. No mineral oil

5. No SD-Alcohol

6. No comedoegenic ingredients

7. No paraben .

Now, we all know that sunlight is the main source of UV rays (fun fact : UV rays continue to damage your skin for more than 4 hours after exposure...) that causes premature aging skin (which appears in forms of dark spots, pigmentation, uneven tone and dull skin) but do you know that according to a study published in the American Academy of Dermatology, electronic devices are also capable of emitting UV rays too?? Heh what??? Omo omo, NOOOOO.... But yes, it's true. Electronic gadgets (oh you evil computers!!!) emit low UV rays which will cause cumulative damage to our skin over time T.T (yep, indoor UV means our exposure to UV rays are increased by 85%!). That means our skin is continuously exposed to UV rays regardless - whether we stay indoor or outdoor. Yeah, reality check here...

Clinelle understands this situations, that's why they combine two elements : technology and natural and come up with Clinelle WhitenUp that is especially formulated with the most advanced formula : inspired from beauty and art, supported by Advanced Anti-Photoaging Technology that can brighten and protect your skin from UV rays at all time. Yes, 24/7, day and night, thank you very much!

All of Clinelle WhitenUp series contains 3 key ingredients :

* Purple rice extract that works to enhance the efficacy of Vitamin C to promote fairer skin

* Vitamin C : a powerful antioxidant to improve skin texture, inhibits melanin formation and stimulate collagen formation

* Daisy Flower Extract prevents skin darkening and reduces pigmentation.

Especially for the night cream, there is a an additional key ingredient : Great Mullein Flowers that absorbs harmful UV radicals and transforms into a source of light to illuminate skin from within.

Sounds great, yeah? Let's see how each and every one of the products performs on my skin and my thoughts on them, shall we?

Ofc, everything must start with the cleanser!

Step one : WhitenUp Brightening Cleanser - 100ml, IDR 99,000
The cleanser comes in a lavender colored (the unique color of the line) squeeze plastic tube with flip top

Ingredient list

The cleanser comes in a light gel form, as it is quite liquidy you might want to take care not to squeeze the tube too hard or too much product would spill out

Like all of other Clinelle cleansers that i've tried before, the brightening cleanser also doesn't lather very much but turns into pasty foam when mixed with water

Clinelle WhitenUp series has this fresh, citrusy scent that is very uplifting and refreshing - including the cleanser. It is very pleasant and gentle on my skin, but able to cleanse thoroughly without leaving my skin feeling tight or dried out. It works very well on both my oily skin (my skin is oily but slightly dehydrated lately) and also on hunny's sensitive, dry skin - so i am confident to say that this cleanser is fab and suitable for most skin types.

Clinelle WhitenUp Brightening Toner - 120 ml, IDR 149,000

Okay so the packaging of this toner alone is enough to win me over. I LOVE toners that come in a spray bottle form because it just makes everything so much more practical! Yes, i admit, i am lazy okay, anything that makes my skin care routine faster, i appreciate!

The Clinelle WhitenUp toner is again, very gentle and pleasant to use. I always look forward to spray it generously to my skin after i wash my face (pat the excess into skin). It never stings even if i got an open acne scar or anything, that's how gentle it is - and it's also very moisturizing. I admit, sometimes i would go about with whatever i am doing and forget to add more moisturizer just because my skin already feels so good and hydrated after using only the toner! The toner is quite possibly my fave product out of the line! Not only it brighten skin tone and clarity, soothes and hydrate skin with 6 essential oils, it also works to refine pores and tone skin. Don't skip toner because it helps to improve the absorption of subsequent products!

Third step is serum!

Clinelle WhitenUp Brightening Serum - 20ml, ID 299,000

Ingredient list

I have yet to find Clinelle's serum that i don't like and this one is also no exception, i love it!

The serum comes in a plastic bottle that looks and feels luxurious

And it comes with a lovely pump mechanism

The texture of the serum is very light, watery gel-like and it gets absorbed into the skin super fast without leaving any stickiness or greasiness behind

Clinelle WhitenUp Serum is a highly concentrated serum for fast and effective brightening result. It prevents and lighten pigmentation, improve overall dull skin and even out skin tone, promote skin radiance and brighten - also makes skin firmer and lifted.

It is no secret that i can't use serum and day or night cream together because my super oily skin would react in white heads from the richness, so for me i alternate using the serum and night cream every other day. I did try to layer them but it does feel a bit too moisturizing for my skin type so i find alternating them works better. I truly love the serum tho (i love all of Clinelle's serum, their Caviar Gold one i the only serum that i've used until the very last drop!), it really makes my skin feels super mochi like, firmer and hydrated without making my skin oilier than it already is. Another fave!

Step four is the spot correcter essence :

Clinelle WhitenUp Brightening Spot Corrector Essence - 15ml, IDR 259,000

The spot corrector essence comes in a small squeeze tube bottle

The texture is silky rich, thicker gel that pretty much melts into my skin leaving a smooth and silky feeling behind

The high potency spot corrector essence works to visibly reduce pigmentation, lighten dark spots and scars, also to reduce discoloration and improve skin tone.

I personally think that it takes time to lighten up dark spots (and it should. Products that lighten skin up overnight most probably contains something harmful!) and i also don't really have a lot of dark spots to try them on. But during my trial of this line, i did get a few new acne scars (period happens, you know!) and i took the chance to try out the spot corrector essence and i must say that i notice it helps those scars to fade away much faster than when i normally let them be!

Now onto the last step for day time:

Clinelle WhitenUp Brightening Day Cream SPF 20 - 40ml, IDR 239,000

Y'all know that one of my biggest beauty crime is that i often don't use sunscreen, but now i try to at least always use day cream with SPF okay!

The Day Cream comes in a smaller, wider squeeze tube similar to the cleanser

The texture is creamy but not too thick and it spreads easily and gets absorbed well into my skin fast. It's not like it's 100% non greasy but it feels very manageable on my skin (most sunscreen feels super slick and oily on my skin i just can't stand them!). It also works well under makeup and doesn't make my makeup melt or become a greasy mess any faster than normal, in fact it makes base makeup application a breeze because it makes my skin hydrated and smooth

I brought the entire line to our Bali trip and use them all religiously, especially the day cream and they definitely helps keeping my skin healthy and protected even under the harsh beach sun!

And for nightime the last step would be :

Clinelle WhitenUp Brightening Night Cream - 40ml, IDR 269.000

The night cream comes in a luxe jar

With extra lid to prevent the product to get everywhere and spatula to ensure the cream stays hygienic and germ free

The texture of the night cream is actually a lot lighter than i expected, it's almost like a hybrid of cream and gel, spreads super easily and gets absorbed immediately into my skin without any greasiness or stickiness, leaving my skin super silky smooth and supple

I am normally not a fan of night creams (if i have a serum in my skin care line, i would much prefer to use the serum and skip the night cream) but this one is a total exception. Is it not heavy or sticky like how most night creams can be, and when i use it - i wake up with hydrated skin but without the super sticky, heavy feeling - which is awesome of course!

Like i mentioned earlier, in Clinelle Brightening Night Cream there is an extra ingredient, making it one of the hero products of the line. From the yellow flower called Great Mullien Flower, they extracted LUMINESCINE : the power, revolutionary ingredient that does the round-the-clock UV Protection. The highly effective ingredient absorbs harmful lights and reflects it out on skin. This is making the skin looks naturally radiant and glowing from within. It is a critical step to overcome premature skin aging and to prevent skin darkening.

I have been using Clinelle WhitenUp series for 3 weeks now, i brought it to travel to Bali with me and never missed a day of usage so i know the full potential of this line. My skin stays fair and bright, even after being exposed to super strong Bali sun for almost a week. I didn't get any negative experience with any of the products, in fact i personally think it works very very well for my skin. It also helps my skin to behave, and didn't go crazy like how it can be when i travel. I did get a few breakout due to PMS, but it is to be expected and not aggravated from the use of the line at all - so yeah, i definitely had a pleasant experience with this line and have nothing but praises for them!

Would highly recommend everybody to try out this line, now that we know that we can't escape UV rays even if you are a hermit who prefer to stay indoor at all times haha!

Thank you Clinelle for the chance to try out your awesome products, i love them!
