Pink and Undecided

Hallooo semuanya :D!!

I'm starting to be more productive again this month, i hope y'all happy with this wind of change :D..

Anyway, kali ini aku mau ngenalin face serum dari QL Cosmetic nih! Kalian udah pernah denger kan tentang QL Cosmetic? Kalau aku pribadi sih udah familiar banget dengan brand kecantikan yang satu ini, aku udah pake dan suka dengan produk-produknya mereka sejak awal mereka muncul tapi selama ini aku baru pake produk makeup aja dari mereka (aku juga udah pernah review beberapa produk mereka ya, salah satunya QL Lip Cream Matte yang review lengkapnya bisa kalian baca disini) nah aku juga baru tau kalau mereka juga udah punya skincare range yang cukup lengkap dengan harga yang affordable banget!

Brightening, Vitamin C dan Anti Acne

Texture ketiga varian QL Face Serum yang sama-sama transparan, cair dan ringan. Kalau di lihat di foto kelihatan sama semua ya, tapi kalau di pakai ada sedikit perbedaan kekentalan loh di masing-masing varian - kita bahas satu-satu ya!

QL Face Serum Brightening

Produk-produknya QL semuanya tentunya sudah tersertifikasi BPOM yah jadi jangan khawatir!

Untuk varian Brightening ini di dominasi warna biru, bahkan sampai botol kacanya pun berwarna biru ^^

Yang kedua :

QL Face Serum Vitamin C

Untuk yang Vitamin C ini, botolnya frosted dan di dominasi warna orange.

Dengan main ingredients :

Tekstur Vitamin C Serum ini gel jernih yang runny dan watery banget, paling ringan di antara ketiga varian ini karena hampir seperti air dan ringan banget di kulit.

Aku pake ketiga serumnya, tapi untuk keadaan kulitku saat ini (yang lagi fokus untuk mengurangi noda di dagu) aku paling sering pake QL Face Serum yang varian Vitamin C ini. Serum ini super nyaman di kulit aku yang oily, dan karena dia super ringan jadi tetap nyaman kalau mau di layer dengan serum dan moisturizer lain.

Last but not least :

QL Face Serum Anti Acne

Dan untuk yang Anti Acne, botolnya  berwarna hijau dan teksturenya paling kental di antara ketiganya, tetap mudah diserap kulit tapi makan waktu paling lama dan meskipun teksturnya agak sticky tapi kalau sudah terserap sempurna ngga ada residunya kok jadi buat yang khawatir skincarenya terasa berat dan bikin gerah - you don't have to worry with these!

Main Ingredientsnya :

Hey hey hey everybody :D!

If you're a beauty lover in Indonesia i'm sure you've heard all the commotion when this very special collaboration came out last month, after all not everyday a fried chicken (a world famous one, as well!) collabed with a local beauty brand! I was also very excited for Dear Me Beauty X KFC healthy skin combo launching and ofc, being part of #DearMeSquad gave me the perk of being one of the very firsts to try them, before they even launched :).

The first two products (yeah, there are more) launched from Dear Me Beauty X KFC Special Limited Edition Collab are a primer sunstick and a hydrating primer sheet mask

Let's talk about the primer sunstick first.

Dear Me Beauty X KFC Primer SunStick SPF 50+ PA ++++

I honestly cannot get over how cute the packaging is, especially the cute little packaging box. Ouf of the 3 that already came out, this one is my fave design so far!

As it is a stick, it comes in a form that resembles glue stick/ deodorant stick haha, complete with the little twist mechanism at the bottom

The stick itself has a yellowy color that looks almost like butter to me

It is a hybrid of sunscreen and primer, which is super cool for me as i love nothing more than multi purposes products as they always make my life easier haha.

I've personally been intrigued by sunstick for a while now but always hesitate to give it a try (i am not good with new things :)) this control freak prefers to stick to old and trusted types i know i like, not a very good trait for a reviewer ha!) as i imagine the stick might be hard (like a deodorant stick hahaha) and it would not blend very easy. Well, i don't know about other sunstick, but Dear Me Beauty X KFC Primer Sunstick is the total opposite of what i feared! The stick glides super easily, smoothly and application is super easy! It instantly makes my skin smooth, velvety and minimize the appearance of pores. This sunstick can be used on both face and body.

Another thing i want to point out is the amount of "does it smell like fried chicken" question i got when i post the launch on my IG ; the answer if OFC NOT. I'm sure they are not crazy LOL,. The stick has no fragrance, just a very subtle skincare scent (it doesn't even have the typical, strong sunscreen smell) and the sheet mask has a normal sheet mask scent. 

I really like the sunstick, enough to make me stick it into my travel bag as it makes my skincare routine faster and i love nothing more than short beauty routine during my travels as i get to sleep more! There were also comments about the product pilling, well as i have very oily skin and this sunstick already has moisturizing, skin care benefits (which has moisturizes my skin more than enough - but i cannot say this will work for every oily skin ya, it just the way it works on MY skin), i actually only use it before my makeup so i have not experience any pilling yet. Pilling happens usually because the ingredients in the sunscreen is not compatible with your moisturizer so if you do experience pilling while using the sunscreen, you might want to try switching your moisturizer into a lighter ones (maybe a gel type?). 

Dear Me Beauty X KFC Hydrating Primer Sheet Mask I think the design is fun but just a little bit tacky >.<

The actual mask though, i find to be super cute with the Col Sanders print!

This is the first time i am trying out a Hydrating Primer Sheet Mask, as usually the sheet masks i tried are to be used before bed (although Koreans also tend to use sheet masks before their makeup, which for my skin type and climate proven to be way too much and my skin would scream in white heads LOL) and usually very moisturizing, some to a point where i feel the need to rinse as they make my skin very sticky and uncomfortable due to the richness. Fortunately this Hydrating Primer Sheet Mask has just the right balance so i feel comfortable applying makeup afterwards (although i did rinse a little bit just to make sure my skin would not be overwhelmed). The amount of essence in a sheet mask is very important for me as i hate the overly thick and overflowing ones, the texture of the essence in this sheet mask is not too thick but also not too watery (no dripping! I like!) and the amount is just right, which i highly appreciate.

Made from Bio Cellulose, the sheet mask feels soft to the skin without being too think that i fear it might break, i feel that it has the right kind of sturdiness while maintaining comfortability when comes into contact with the skin. 

The Hydrating Primer Sheet mask is very hydrating and feels cooling (in the perfect way, not too cooling that it's on the verge of being uncomfortable like some sheet masks i tried in the past). It is deeply hydrating so if you have oily skin like me, you might find it a litttle bit sticky on the skin - all you need to do is give yor skin a little rinse. Just tap a bit of water on your skin and dry, don't wash your face entirely - trust me, it'd help make your skin feels more comfortable and not greasy anymore without compromising the effect as a primer.

I was again, a bit skeptical if a sheet mask can give the benefits of a makeup primer - and again, i was pleasantly surprised because it really worked! After using this mask (and rinsing it off a little bit), my makeup applies smoothly and the result is stunningly flawless! My makeup also stays perfect much longer even during hot and super humid days!

Although it's called Primer Sheet Mask, you don't actually have to use it only when you're about to put on makeup. You can always use it at night before bed for its skincare benefits too. I personally would probably say save it for days when you are about to go on an event/party as it makes skin and makeup looks super lovely but then again it's so affordable (normal price IDRT 19,900, currently on promo too!) so i would say just use it anytime haha, won't break your bank anyway especially if you stock up while it's on promo!
