Hello, everyone! Today I'm gonna review ALL these delicious products I'm holding here~ (ˆヮˆ)づ♡
There are a total of eight products (one being a mask sampler set containing six masks, so, a total of thirteen different products it is, yay!!). I'm so happy I got all these safe and sound, thanks to @bjunkiesindo for directly importing them from the USA!
Curious, curious Princess Bolu is as curious as me when the package came! ♡
(made the order by May 20, package arrived by June 23).

So basically, @bjunkiesindo is YOUR personal shopper when it comes to USA products, be it cosmetics, skincare, body care, haircare products, to fashion and accessories. You browse, they get them for you. Some of us might refer to it as PO (pre-order) system.
I've got to admit that @bjunkiesindo service kinda reminds me to my ex boyfriend *whoops*, which was studying in USA back then when we were in relationship (yeah, I had a LDR for four years, woohoo!). He used to came back to Indo twice a year and I, being an online shopaholic as I am, ALWAYS browsed and browsed and browsed for the things I lusted and he will shopped and shopped and shopped those things and bring them to me when he came to Indo and THAT WAS AWESOMESAUCE because I LOVEEEEEE USA products!!! Especially when you can buy them so much cheaper online. Yeah, online stores always have this special discounts / promotional items / coupons / free samples / free shipping / free gifts / online-only sale / etc. etc. on the net and that made me went dingdong almost every freaking time I set up a budget and decided to shop.
Now I know that a lot of USA brands have established stores in Indonesia nowadays, why not just buy them there, you ask. Well, from my experience, most of the time, the products I bought wouldn't even show up in Indo after months! And the price? Undoubtedly cheaper in USA itself.
Anyway, now that I'm not with my ex bf anymore lol, I can still get my USA products without a fuss thanks to @bjunkiesindo! I don't have to worry about tax, hidden fees, whether they ship to Indonesia or not, etc. which will most likely occur if I order the products directly from the websites. Not to mention the efficiency they offer: One stop shopping place and that means one shipping fee for all those different products from different websites! You want BB cream from Sephora? Books from Amazon? Perfume from Beauty.com? Sneakers from Nordstrom? Or even supplements from DrugStore? You name it, they'll fetch it for ya. 100% original products, money back guarantee. All you have to do is browse, browse, browse, just like I did! ;D
Minnie Mouse theme made possible by red, white and black nail polishes with dotting tool! ♥
Aside from the silver polish which I don't know yet when I will use it, I TOTALLY LOVE this set!!! I love this because it is cheap *ya huh* and is such a bargain with those super pigmented red and black polishes (one wipe is all it takes, my man, one wipe) and the 2 in 1 big-n-small dotting tool.
0.43 fl oz (12.7 ml) $0.99
Does a good job, ULTRA CHEAP I mean look at here (Wet n Wild Indonesian website), even in the official Indonesian website, it doesn't come in complete color swatch as in the DrugStore website and the price is six times (yes, 6x) more expensive. >_< The large size is also a plus point! ♡
// CLOSE UP LOOKS //
Um, yeah I know it's a bit very messy haha. By the way, I used the large dotting tool for the dots and Minnie Mouse head, and the small dotting tool for the Minnie's bow.
But I guess not bad lah! If I were armed with better skill (which I will *literally* polish), these tools would make great result, for sure!
$69.00
I have read some good reviews about Astara masks in the past so when I found out that they have THIS set, I thought to myself, "What a bargain"! What sold me at the moment was when I stumbled into their website and found this on their testimonial page:
"One of my favorite moments this Season was when I turned Salma Hayek onto your line (Astara) and told her that they were so pure you could eat them. She proceeded to scoop some moisturizer into her mouth! Thankfully your products are as I said and she was able to continue her day with us and for that I THANK YOU!"
SOLD.
There are a total of six mask samples in this set and here's my review about them:
The Blue Flame Purification Mask, Violet Flame Enzyme Mask and Green Papaya Nutrient Mask are the ones with solid texture. I use them whenever my skin feels oily, dirty and such because the effect they give is similar to wearing a clay mask; skin feels dry-clean, fresh and mattified afterwards. The Blue Flame you can also use on zits and leave it overnight. I do such thing, it does dry up the pimples but it takes more than 1-2 nights on me. The con is that these three tend to dry thick in the jar when left unused for awhile. Worry not, you can easily add water and stir.
The Golden Flame Hydration Mask, Sea Mineral Mask and Nourishing Vitamin Mask are the liquid ones, the Sea Mineral being the most solid between the three. These guys are best used when my skin feels really dry and in dire need of nourishment. The Golden Flame and Vitamin Mask can be left overnight so I tried them so and when I woke up, my skin feels really good! Dewy, soft and very healthy. Note that they are very 'rich' type of mask so I dare not use them when it's acne season on my skin.
All of them has herbal scent, feel very natural and give out zen effect when I wear them. The set also include a brush, which I never use but I appreciate the good will lol.
250 tablets $16.99
Now I haven't take this regularly, but when it comes to anti-aging products which are considerably 'okay' for acne-prone skin, I'm a total sucker. Guess I'll just take them down daily starting today, along with my other supplements, hoping it'll do it's job.
2.5 fl oz (73 ml) $9.59
Since the invention of BB Cream, I never really use regular sunblocks anymore. But sometimes, BB Cream could feel pretty 'heavy' for daily use, especially for working out or… swimming. So after roaming through some options and read a lot of reviews, I decided to get my hands on this one because it seems most... promising haha. Thankfully it does give me what I wanted: A no-nonsense sunblock which is oil-free, noncomedogenic (doesn't clog pores), water resistant and as you can see up there, it doesn't leave white cast like most sunblock does. It simply soaks into your skin and gives you healthy glow. I think it'll be great for active men, too, since the packaging is not girly lol.
Wearing CC Cream, Loose Powder and Tinted Lipbalm!
1.08 fl oz $38.00
This is the heaviest CC Cream I've tried. It seriously feels more like a BB Cream to me. Maybe because it has SPF 50, while most CC Creams I know have up to SPF 30? It breaks me out for the first two days, but the next days it doesn't.
It has herbal scent and the coverage is awesome. Unfortunately, the shade turns out a bit dark on my skin. It makes for a great make up base, though. I read a lot of great reviews about this product, but I think it will suit dry skin better. Mine is combination-sensitive, btw. :)
I first used BareMinerals loose powder on 2009 and ever since then, it's been my favorite among other loose powders I've tried. It does what a loose powder should do; it makes the skin soft, shine-free and compared to compact powder, it is weightless so it's good for South East Asian hot n humid weather.
But what makes it absolutely irresistible is the 'Click, Lock, Go' sifter. It is really awesome because you know how loose powder can get really messy when you take it out. Great idea, love it! It doesn't come with a brush, though, so make sure you have one first. ;)
$18.00
This is my first tinted lip balm ever and the moment I put it on my lips, it was love at first try. The color is so natural, although it fades rather quickly (bummer) so I have to reapply it pretty often. Hydration is nice and I looooove the feminine rose scent. I always carry this on my purse now, ever since I own it. Thank you so much, @bjunkiesindo! XD
↑ Last pic is because my bf kept teasing me for trying so hard to hug all these goodies lol ↑
Okay then, thanks a lot for reading and see you guys on my next post! (ˆヮˆ)づ♡
