Green Tea Kisses with Lip Ice Matcha

Haluuuuu. Wassuppppp.
I know holiday has ended but fret not, we can always make it fun, whether we're going back to school, college or work. Maybe by trying a new hairstyle, bringing something cute to eat at lunch, orrr... you can simply try something new and cute, like trying this Lip Ice Butter Ice Cream Matcha on your lips!
 WUUUUUUUTTTTT. SISTA, IT'S ACTUALLY GREEN!!!!!!
Yes, so does Matcha. 😁
Yummy, yummy Matcha 😋 🍵

 So, what was my first impression of this product?
1. When I applied it, it gives immediate cool sensation on my lips
2. It has a very nice and soothing Matcha scent
3. Anddd it's GREEN *ya huh*! so I was quite skeptical because I don't think green would look good on my lips, but then againnnnn.........

 Before - After application of Lip Ice Matcha
 As you can see, despite it's green color, it actually -and surprisingly- gives your lips a natural tinted lookNot to mention, it is also enriched with natural moisturizing ingredients, like Shea Butter, Squalene, Olive Oil, Vitamin E and UV protector, which prevents dark lips due to sun exposure.

So, do I love it? YES.
I always love a multifunctional product that works, just like this one. In Lip Ice Butter Ice Cream Matcha, I love the natural tinted look and the moisturizing effect the most. Not to mention it's also super affordable, like, only IDR 30,000 (less than USD 3) per piece! 😙 🍵  It is now one of my must-bring things in my bag.

Memory | A Story In 100 Words


Was challenged by a friend of mine to write a 100-word story about 'Memory'. So here's mine. 😁

 MEMORY 
A whiff of that particular scent you wore that night, and the many nights before, every time we met; just sent me back from this huge airport filled with strangers, to these candid memories of us. A collection of bittersweet moments of the adventure in the library, the war in the car, the breakfast after the fights. 
They belong to us. The memories.
“Mom,” a little girl beside me was tugging my skirt. I lifted her up, slowly emerging out from the temporal lobe in my brain, back to the reality I belong. 
And that’s all we are. A memory.
