Hello!!! I am back with more videos to show you my make up transformation in 5 minutes!

I am not always occupied for doing 2 hours make up like I used to be. Right now I mostly do my make up in practical way, 5-10 mins is all the time I have LOL

I still love my 1-2 hours make up BUT I prefer to do this kind of make up on everyday basis

I do it in 5 mins timer to really show you that you can, somewhat, do it within 5 mins XD

Watch and please subscribe on my youtube channel to get notification faster whenever I uploaded videos

Happy Christmas to you all

On another note, I am still doing my healthy lifestyle. I consume a lot of fruits during my snacking time, though I wasn't a snack person. Some fruits that I often eat are bananas, grapes, and of course, apples

Did you know that the best apple from Japan comes from Aomori in Tohoku? It's like when you say the best apple from Indonesia might be from Malang. So you can consider Aomori similar to Malang hehe

On my next trip to Japan, I cant wait to snack fruits in Japan and my choice would be for the real Aomori Apple. Unfortunately I have never seen any Aomori apple in Indonesia, hopefully in the future there would be one that's imported here

Dont forget to support Taste of Tohoku project by liking their facebook fanpage and share the page ^^

Maybe if they're more famous, the Aomori apple will be flown to Indonesia as well and we can taste the flavor of Aomori Apple!

1. There's a person to carry your bag

This is probably the most wonderful thing for bringing my brother with me. He took care of all the heavy stuffs! I am usually filled with a few of cameras and cosmetic pouches inside my bag but with a healthy young boy around *lol*, I can let him to bring it for me everywhere without feeling guilty because he's obliged to do so

IF I go with my friend, I can't act so princess-like of course, I have to bring what I bring, even though the camera might be used for my friend/s as well. And when I'm out with my mom, of course I can't let her to bring anything. With him, I could just ask him to bring anything, in fact he's the one who offered himself to help too! And I wont feel guilty for that 

2. Skinship is normal in society eyes 

I get tired quite easily and I wear heels wherever I go, even my sneakers have heels more than 5 cms. Therefore I always need to grab someone's arm whenever I walk a lot. With my brother, I can do it very normally and nobody can judge our skinship lol 

Also I sometimes hug my brother or just lie on his chest when I feel tired waiting for the long line at Universal Studio, which might be an eyesore for some if I do it with a guy. BUT he's my brother what lol I can cuddle without shame haha

3. He lets the silent mode of me activated

When I am with my mother, friends, or even with a guy, it's hard for me to have the silent me. I always talk because IF I dont talk, people keep thinking that I am mad or upset about something. And my mother cant not talk to me but in fact I need a silent moment when I am daydreaming about useless thing lol 

There's just this moment when you just dont want to talk for a moment during the trip, because you're so tired. With my brother, I dont play games where the person sometimes dont talk to the other just to show that they want attention. When I am in silence, so he is, and it's normal. But when we see something good, then we start being excited and talk a lot again. This is something precious that a certain relationship can't have, but this is also because we dont always talk even at home, so the silence is nothing awkward for us lol

4. No need to take care of him!

Well, I still take care of him during the trip but I realize he's much more independent than before we went on a trip together. Part of it maybe because my mother doesn't speak english and she needs me to do everything for her whenever we're traveling abroad. Simple stuff like buying stuffs and finding toilet would be quite difficult for her. As for me, I had gone to trip with some of my friends before but even though they speak english, they still need to rely on me because they thought I am the best english speaker among them? Which those events turn out annoying after a while and later I get pissed off

For my brother because I am always this careless person and I know he speaks english as well, and he can associate with people better than me, I have no difficulty letting him doing anything. He wants to go to toilet, he just goes. He wants to ask for directions, he asks. He wants to buy stuffs, he can check everything by himself before buying one. The one thing he asks is the money later on lol 

5. I have all the advantages during the trip

I am tired and there's only one seat at MRT? It's mine!

I am hungry and I want to eat more of his food? Give it now!

I want to shoot more and more pictures of me using my camera? Take it and you better shoot good

I dont want to carry the bag? You better do it

Now I feel like I'm slaving my brother lol BUT in fact well it is. I mean, he is strong, and young. If there's a seat in MRT with my mom, I had to let her do it otherwise I'd be called bad daughter by society. Or even if with friends, would be quite bad if you get your own seat while your friends dont. Major point in here is my brother is younger than me and I paid for stuffs *uhuk* LOL so I realize I have the upper hand and he cant disobey me XD This kind of feeling is very different when I pay for my mom

Even if I pay for my mom's trip, she doesn't say thank you and I cant ask her to be grateful because I already owe her my life. Also even if I pay, she thinks of it as normal thing, and I still have to provide more and more fun for her. HOWEVER with my brother, he shows grateful and happiness hahaha

For my next trip to Japan in January with my readers, I have purchased a few coats!

Products are from Shein, they deliver pretty fast to my place, only less than 2 weeks! The website has wide selection of products and the price is affordable, moreover a lot of discounts and promotions going on from time to time. Not to mention the Free Shipping XD

It's been a while since my winter trip, so I am pretty excited! It's also first time for me going on a trip with my readers, it's something new and I hope I can make them happy there ^.^

Aesop, when I first browsed about it, it has a lot of good reviews from many people across the world. However the brand hasn't been heard much in Indonesia yet, or so I thought.

Aesop is a brand from Australia, established in Melbourne in 1987. It produces skin, hair, and body care with finest quality. The ingredients are mostly plant-based, which must smell amazing XD

I tried some of the products that I thought would be interesting, here's my review~

Aesop Camellia Nut Facial Hydrating Cream

This product's smell is amazing and screams herbal scent as soon as I open it

The cream texture is a little bit thick but not greasy, the texture may be a little bit heavy for some. I mostly use watery base cream because it is lighter, but recently my skin is super dehydrated. Therefore, I love how this product helps hydrating my face thorough the day

I have mine in 60ml and it's pretty huge, so should last pretty long

Aesop Oil Free Facial Hydrating Serum

It comes in a glass bottle packaging with pippet to take out the serum. The product size is pretty big, 100ml, which means you can use it for loooong time. Most of the serum in the market is around 30 ml, so this is such a steal.

The serum scent is pretty strong, a mixture of Aloe Vera, Ylang Ylang, and Panthenol giving a calming fragrant that I love. It is absorbed pretty fast and gives my face an instant hydrating finish. However I notice that it doesnt hydrate that long, which is not a thing I'd recommend to those with dry skin. If you're someone with oily skin and want a hydrating serum, then this is for you!

It's quite difficult to find a hydrating serum for oily skin, so I'm glad I found one that can be recommended :D

Aesop Purifying Facial Exfoliant Paste

I am saving the best for the last! It is the best exfoliator I have ever tried, and I really mean it. I am surprised that even from a tiny amount it can exfoliate my whole face, and making my face MUCH MUCH smoother and brighter. Even from the first time I tried it, I was totally hooked up with this one and I shouted to myself "WTF IS THIS?? HOLY GRAIL EXFOLIATOR EVER"

I might have exaggerated it because I truly love it and it suits my face well. The buds is a little bit rough though so it's recommended to use it on wet face instead of dry one. I do not really recommend it for very sensitive skin as some might think it's too harsh, BUT if you can, please please try this one the most. I use this 2-3 times a week and my skin condition's improved! 

So far I LOVE AESOP, the quality is amazing and most importantly it smells amazing as it's organic skincare! 

All the products are available at Benscrub

Benscrub is established in September 2014, so it's quite new E-Commerce. The best thing about this website is that they only sell ORGANIC beauty productss, which I really support! A lot of cosmetic and skincare brands in the industry are made up of varying chemicals and it might be harmful in the long run. Therefore knowing this, Benscrub is here to help fulfilling the needs in organic skin care for Indonesian women

When I ordered the products, it arrived a day after that, which means the progress of shipment is so fast! They also bubble wrap everything nicely and securely to ensure safe delivery. It comes with their own cute box as well and I love how they bring many amazing brands that not many shops carry in Indonesia. I really recommend you to check out their website and find new treasures in beauty industry

Other interesting brands they carry is Kora Organics which is Miranda Kerr's brand, and also Jurlique. All the brands are high quality and I love to see more and more brands is accessible easily in Indonesia now ^.^
