Here we go! Today, I'd like to review in comparison between my BB cream I have. The challenge goes to:

First, this is the appearance of Maybelline Clear Smooth BB Stick:

With the stick form, Maybeline CSBB is genuinely purposed to oily skin. The solid contour make it very simple and easy to use. Only need one hand to rub it onto our face. In the other side, Caring BB is in liquid form. Hereby the comparison:

Caring BB's liquid seems darker than Maybelline. FYI, Maybelline CSBB has 2 tone colors: Natural, the lightest and Radiance, for deep color skin. CSBB contains SPF 21 for sun protection, while Caring has UV protection with SPF 25 and 1 tone color. Tough it seems darker at first, it will be bright after applied. When applying onto my back hand, the result has quite no difference, but after applying onto face, there's a difference on coverage. See picture below:

As we could see, Caring coverage is smoother than Maybelline. Caring BB absorb and cover the flaws  & pores better. Both BB has good oil control. When I wearing them, my face stands of oil-free approximately until 6-8 hours indoor. After that, the oil starts to appear but not until make my face seems shining. 

For Maybelline, I have personal experience. In the early I used it, I really impressed with the result, but don't know, after few times applying that, acne turns up simultaneously. My face almost full of acne at sudden day. Since there, I won't using it at get back to use Caring BB which reduce my acne. In my thought, would it be the acne is caused by the solid texture of Maybelline which instead clog the pores and sebum circulation? Because, the purpose of this stick is for oily skin, yes it is make the user's face oil-free even better, I believe it wouldn't cause any acne. But, why the reality says the vice versa? I'm still wondering. Few days ago, I also heard from some of my friends who experienced the same. Well, maybe not to all people. I believe there are some people well match using Maybelline CSBB. I'm a Maybelline fan, most of my beauty product are from Maybelline and I have no problem with them. Just this time, I can't use the stick.

Well, let's change to Caring BB. As I do some research, I found that it contains Cinnamon Zeylanicum which has a great contribution as sebum regulator. To find out more about the ingredients, please visit their official website. The package of Caring BB is very hygiene, because you will find out the tip is double sealed by aluminium foil and plastic after that. The fragrance is soothe also.

This review is subjective, the real experience is yours. Which one does match your skin, that's the important point. I like Caring BB instead of Maybelline because the reasons above. The ultimate reason is acne causes and coverage. Oil control is good enough for both. 

So, what is your choice, girls?

Here we go! Today, I'd like to review in comparison between my BB cream I have. The challenge goes to:

Cleaning face is a very important way to attain a fresh and smooth face. Prevent from any acne or blackhead emergence. Especially, for those who own oily skin, they have to washing face more often. But, sometime as a career woman, we don't have enough time to complete a bucket of cleansing ritual. Here, I'd like to share my way in cleaning face at a short time.

Cleaning face is a very important way to attain a fresh and smooth face. Prevent from any acne or blackhead emergence. Especially, for those who own oily skin, they have to washing face more often. But, sometime as a career woman, we don't have enough time to complete a bucket of cleansing ritual. Here, I'd like to share my way in cleaning face at a short time.

Morning:

Night:

• Right after we arrive home, clean-up your face from make-up first by using make-up remover
• Cooling down before taking a bath and wash with face soap
• Gently rub face toner after finish taking a bath
• Apply your night treatment for your face

• Scrub your face at least once a week to remove any left sebum that possible clogging your pores
• Have a mask time to rejuvenate your skin. Use mask as your needs; if you have problem with acne, than use acne mask, oily mask for oily skin, and so on

• It is best if you could have a facial time once a month. Beside for cleaning, facial  is good to renewing our skin

This is my first post about make-up things. Yeah, I'm interested in beauty things these days, and that's why I'd like to write a little story about my make-up tools and the experience. I have a special history with eyeliner. For me, it is tough enough to find which eyeliner that suits onto my little eyes.

As the owner of Asian eyes, eyeliner become a very important thing and must have item. I might able to go out without eye shadow, blush on, etc. But I can't stand without eyebrow pencil and eyeliner! Holy almond eyes!

At the time when I started aware to use make-up and as a newbie, I began to draw with eyeliner pencil. To enable my eyes become used to drawing. But, using pencil is not enough. The color couldn't last for long and therefore it faded to the bottom of my eyes. Could you imagine how mess my look? So I'd like to upgrade the eyeliner to the liquid one. To find the perfect liquid was not an easy task too. I ever tried so many brands, from unknown until the well-known local brand, but I still found that the incorrect liquid will fade or cause to clot. Geez! 

Once upon a time, I finally met one local brand eyeliner, named "Sariayu Duo Make-up Mascara & Eyeliner". This item quite match with what I need. The eyeliner is absolutely waterproof, long lasting, no clot, and real black. But the shortage is when removing, it needs an extra effort to rub and sometimes it hurts my eyelid or shed my lashes :'(

Today, as gel eyeliner become hype, that item often tickling my brain. So, when I went to some random places, I took time to visit any beauty shop. Looking for the gel eyeliner and observed both quality and the price of course. Then until accidentally, when I was in MKG, I have seen that Maybelline in cooperation of Watson held a special promo for Maybelline buyers. The "Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Liner" stood dazzlingly in its rack. I asked the male BA-yes male, I'm not mistyping-about the product. While he was explaining the benefit of it, he handed me the sample. I slightly test onto my back hand and found that the texture is quite soft. The brush helps it to be easily applied. The male BA claimed that it also waterproof. The price is also affordable, about IDR 98,000. The price might be difference due to the sell place. 

Formerly, I also ever bought one of Maybelline eyeliner named "Eyestudio Hypersharp Liner". The form is like small marker with very tiny tip, about 0.05 mm. Tough the vendor claimed it is waterproof, somehow it still doesn't long last to me. In the mid-day, I always found the eyeliner already faded. Is that because of my oily skin type? Waterproof is not oily proof? Haha... Just my joke. But that hypersharp is still usable for me to sharpen the line form, or adjust on the edge, or-if you dare-drawing some kind of beauty line on your outer corner eyes.
