Beauty Review : Real Techniques Brush - Core Collection












Hello guys, I am coming back with a new review. I'm probably so late to making a beauty review about Real Techniques brushed. I am feel bad right now because I think, I'm quite late hahaha. But it's better than nothing right? 

I bought this brush set from Taman Anggrek Mall in West Jakarta area. It's pretty much way more expensive rather than you get it online or in overseas (probably if you're living in Europe or US). I got this brush set for $40 and It's still quite cheap for me. Why? Because I get 4 different brushes for different purposes and a brush case that I can bring for traveling. But I think, you can get this brush set only for $20 online.

It's definitely easy for me to apply my base makeup products to my face, for example foundation, powder, and concealer. Here some points for you to know :

1. Buffing Brush : you can use this brush to apply cream or powder makeup base products or blush (or even translucent powder).
2. Contouring Brush : you can use this brush to apply any cream or powder contouring products.
3. Pointed Foundation Brush : it's quite small for foundation brush, but you can use it to blend foundation or concealer around your eyes, nose, or any other detailed / small gap areas on your face.
4. Detailer Brush : you can use this brush to apply corrector concealer to your acne or dark spots.

Positive Points :

- Quite affordable even I got it for $40 at the local mall in Jakarta. But hey, I got 4 brushes and a brush case too.
- Cruelty free brand which is good and I fully support this brand.
- Those bristles are so soft.
- Air brushed finish on your face, that's totally true! (if you able blend your makeup so well)
- Travel friendly, especially I got a brush case as well. 
- Minimalist and to the point design.
- You can see from the box each purpose of those brushes and each brush also has its own name written on the handle of the brush.

Negative Points :

- Not easy to find here in Indonesia. You need to order it online or go to several malls in here to find this brand.

Do you want to try this set?

Beauty Review : Started to Drink Detox and Daily Juice by Cold Press Indonesia

Detox Juice













My Thoughts :

I am feeling really surprised that there is a detox juice brand in Indonesia that delivered your own detox juice based on your needs and preferences up until in front of your house. How amazing is that? The most shocking thing, Cold Press ID also delivered my detox juices with the coolbag. I was getting excited since the beginning and feeling so shock once again to see the amount of juice that Cold Press ID already sent to me. I got 12 bottles of fresh detox juice. I was choosing the Skin Glow and Weight Maintenance program from the menu (you can access it on their website and order it by your own). 

From the packaging, it's so to the point and quite big. If I pour the juice from the bottle to my glass, I can fill it twice. Each bottle has different numbers from one until six. Basically, you need to do this basic detox in one day, but I can't drink all of these juices because this is my first time doing it by drinking juice under a certain rule / program, lol. So I drink 3 bottles per day. I drink each of it 30 minutes before I usually get my meal (breakfast, lunch, or dinner). I am also doing a great balancing with a simple exercise at home. You just basically need to follow those numbers and you're done. You can see the ingredients and expired date at the back as well. But the sad thing, I never want to bring this juice bottle outside with me because it's a little bit bulky and some of those caps are a little bit hard to be open.

The flavors, definitely not as bad as other detox drinks / juices that I tried before. My mom said the same thing. Yes, she actually tried 6 of those. Gladly everything from these bottles are coming from nature and 100% natural. That's the reason why I don't taste any weird stuffs inside or chemical smells. Good!

Is it really working on me?

Few days ago, I felt so sick and I couldn't even wake up from my bed. But thankfully, because I already drank all of those and my lifestyle was getting better for the past one - two weeks, my immunity's also getting better. I RECOVERED REALLY FAST. LIKE DAMN... THE NEXT DAY, I ALREADY CONTINUED MY BUSY MORNING. I could go to my campus, I ate like ordinary, and continued working after that. This is insane. I do not put anything fake on my story here, but even I feel surprised on how my body only need "one night" recovery after a huge mess (high fever and such as).

My skin is also getting better. No, it doesn't mean my skin is getting lighter suddenly... but yes, my skin is having a natural glow now (which means) my skin is definitely healthier and I don't produce that much of oil again lol. No dull skin anymore! Thanked to Cold Press ID tho... this is such an amazing experience for me *criii*

About how I feel on the "Weight Maintenance" side,... I also read so many reviews before I write my own. So many people said that this Weight Maintenance program is really working. Basically, I am skinny and I can't gain any extra fats. I burn those fats down easily and I do my business (ps : going to the bathroom lol) regularly. In my own experience, by drinking detox juices definitely making my body feeling a lot better, fit, and making my body in a great shape. This program doesn't make me loose massive weight, BECAUSE I AM ALREADY SKINNY. Once again, It's just helping me to make my body turning into a way greater shape. Also due to my jogging, squat, or sit up routine. 

Remember! It's so important to combine your detox routine with a great exercise routine!

Imporant notes that Cold Press ID offers you 5N Juices, there are :
  • No Preservatives
  • No Additives
  • No Colorings
  • No Concentrate
  • No Added Water
  • No Added Sugar


My score for this Daily Juice Series = 8.5 / 10 
(based on the packaging that's a little bit bulky or big, practical to consume but yet still healthy and natural, and the flavors are all delicious and tasty!


Daily Juice






My Thoughts :

About the Daily Juice series, I do really like it. It's easy to bringing little bottle in my lunch bag as well. When I go in a rush in the morning, I usually grab one of these and drink it at my campus while waiting for my morning class. Basically I really love all the flavors, so fresh and natural. If you are a busy parent / even a busy student like me, these daily juices are saving your time. There is no need to preparing vegetables or fruits on your own. You just need to grab one of these and off to go!

From the packaging, I really love it as well. You can see the juice name on the bottle, the ingredient and the expired date at the back. I try to save the juice until 2 days after the expired day (I want to check it out, if it is still save or not) and it's still good. I don't feel any stomachache or some kind of weird side effects after I drink it. But I am still not recommending to save it up for too toooo long for your own health, lol it's just me checking around for making this blog review. There is no need to try to save it up for too long, except you are getting forget to drink it for more than a day.

My score for this Daily Juice Series = 9.8 / 10 
(based on the packaging, practical to consume but yet still healthy and natural, and the flavors are all delicious and tasty!

Margareta Vania - Fashion and Beauty Forum / Seminar at Plaza Mandiri






















Long time no see all! Finally, I am making a new blog post again, yes I'm still alive. Today's post is going to talk about my latest "Fashion and Beauty Form / Seminar" for some Mandiri Bank workers (one of the biggest bank and company in Indonesia). It was held in Plaza Mandiri, Jakarta on April 1st 2015. Thank you so much for letting me shared knowedge about fashion and beauty in front of so many amazing people.

For all people who attended to this forum / seminar,... I'm still young, that's why I need to walk forward even more and discover more about my life and my passion. Thank you for all Mandiri Bank workers who really listened to my presentation and wanted to learn something from someone who is exactly younger. I was feeling a little bit nervous and afraid if I didn't do it in a really good way. But I hope all of you guys still like it tho.

I hope that I can meet you guys again in the future. Good luck!

Beauty Review : ColourPop Ultra Matte To Go - Foxy (Holidays Set)



(from left to right)
Beeper, Clueless, Tulle, Creeper, More Better














I do not need to explain too much about the product because you already see the reviews from all those photos above. 

I am going to focus myself to talk about the formula. The formula is so smooth and really easy to be applied on your lips. There is no gap area when you apply this liquid lipcream to your lips. Also, there is no chemical scent (which is the most important thing for me, it smells like almost nothing when it dries on lips). The mini size lip creams contain 0.09g/0.0317 oz and the originals contain 3.2 g /0.11 oz.

This mini lip kit set is actually coming with 2 different holidays sets, they are kitty and foxy. I bought the foxy one, based on my real opinion. I love all these five colors from this foxy set.

I am going to make lists about the positive and negative points.

Positive Points :
- Affordable : $20/box (if you buy via online store from Indonesia, one box costs $28)
- So many color variants in one box
- Travel friendly
- Highly pigmented
- Adorable (lol!)
- Kiss proof, it doesn't transfer that much.

Fun fact : Colourpop "Creeper" is the dupe of Kylie Jenner Lip Kit "Mary Jo K"

Negative Points :
- It's smudging a little bit, especially for those lip creams with contrast colors (creeper and more better) but for those nude colors such as beeper, clueless, and tulle, those are less smudging that the other two.

How to remove it?
  • You need to use eye and lip makeup remover with oil based. If you don't have it, you basically can use baby oil / olive oil to erase it. 
  • No need to feel afraid, this product is safe for you! These colourpop lip cream don't do much color transfer but it doesn't mean this product can't smudge. I do believe that if a lipstick is a bit smudging, the chemical formula is way safer / containing less chemical ingredients than those lipsticks out there that even can't do color transfer at all.
Is it staying on my lips for a long time?

Yes, it is. I even eat a lot of oily Indonesian foods, but the lip color is still there. There is nothing problem to reapply the lip cream to your lips either. 

By the way. I even washed my face few minutes ago before I posted this,.. guess what? the lip color right now is still here on my lips lol. Remember to read my tips about how to remove this lip cream.
