Another Post of 'BEYOND'

If you have read my previous post, I have wrote about a pop up store of Beyond that is located at Kota Kasablanka. I have mentioned that Beyond is a very unique Korean cosmetic brand that campaigns to save the environment, earth, and animals. Beyond carries on a campaign against animal testing and promises that it will consistently take eco-friendly action and respect life.

A phew weeks ago I was contacted by Beyond Indonesia to do a review of Beyond's latest product. I was so happy and excited. To find out the best product for me, Mima, a representative from Beyond contacted me to ask about my skin type. She's a very nice person, she's also a fast-responder.

Finally, I was informed on Wednesday that the product for me was ready at Beyond's store at Mall Taman Anggrek. I browsed online to find information about the store and found out that the store just opened and Beyond is having 10% sale for all items! Wow.. it's a new store

So the next day, I payed a visit to Beyond MTA and bought my professional camera /grins/

Behold, Beyond at Mall Taman Anggrek, 2nd floor #222



Okay so I had this happy feeling of entering a new store. Well, I guess everyone does, lol! The testers were still in perfect condition and it means that I am one of the first to try XD



Save Animals, Save Nature!


Some pictures of products that I managed to took ~


The Real Mineral range uses recycled paper as the box, and above here is the BB cream.



And here, are the cutest products with the cutest packaging that I found.


Hand creams are always adorable!


The Beyond 'Kids' above are lotion, body wash and shampoo. I absolutely loved the packaging because it looked more like bathroom decorations rather than normal squirt bottles. Just look at the details above the leaf! A snail and a ladybug <3

After I was happy with the pictures that I took, I bought myself 2 pieces of mask sheets (they're so good, that was my third purchase of the product) and then I asked whether there were anything for me.

/drumrolls/

And here it is..

I really can't hide my excitement

I bet my face was red

Oh my I'm so embarrassed



A BUNCH OF ECO BEAUTY

       Dear Nadilla,
       Hello from Beyond Indonesia!
       You are one step ahead to save mother nature & to be part of eco way of life.
       And we are so pleased to share some of it to you directly!

       Let them fall into your arms :
     ★Real Mineral BB Cream
     ★Real Mineral Glow Highlighter

       And let us know how you experience our products. 

A huge smile was plastered on my face as soon as I read the adorable note from the package. Firstly, they spelled my name correctly with a double L! My name is often misspelled with a single L and almost everybody did that. Secondly, I absolutely loved the choice of words that were written on the note, you are one step to save mother nature. Soon I'll be a hero to save mother nature! XD And last but not least, /take  a deep breath/  a BB cream and a highlighter! Gosh I'm currently running out of BB cream (I'm using a sunblock from skinfood now) and I don't have any highlighters since my sister broke it a phew months ago (which made me uses gold shimmering eye shadow instead).

/jawdrops/

This is such and amaze-ing coincidence. Thankyou for giving me a chance to do an exclusive review of Beyond's products! 

Anyway, you can see the Real Mineral BB Cream from one of an image above. 

Curious about the products? Stay tuned for a special review of Beyond's Real Mineral BB Cream and Glow Highlighter (^o^)

[141122] Hint of Red

please excuse my messy eyeliner

You may have known from my previous posts that I really want my hair to be like Narcissa Malfoy. For you that are curious about this Narcissa, she is a fictional character from Harry Potter. Yes, Malfoy. Now you know.

It took almost a month to achieve this almost white-colored hair. Since my natural hair color is dark brown, I need to bleach my hair 3 times. Many of my friends bleached their hair more than 3 times and the lightest color they can get is medium blonde. While for me, my hair reached light blonde. Well, to achieve this color I did many researches to find the best hair bleach which led me to a professional hair supply store. That store have everything you need to open a hair salon; from hairspray, hair vitamins, hair dye, bleach & peroxides, extensions, and even rainbow colored wigs. I carefully choose the bleaching powder and peroxides, and for the peroxide I use the 12% strength (40vol) peroxide. 

Yes I do realize that 40vol peroxide may caused serious hair damage, and that is the reason I bleached my hair once a week since November 7. Therefore, I have a week to recover the health of my hair using hair serums and masks. 


Anyway, there's nothing to do with "a hint of red". Well yeah the photos clearly have a hint of red, but that's just it.

I absolutely wanted to take artistic selcas to express my happiness for my new hair. And here they are. Off the record, people at collage made fun of the ulzzang side of me and my instagram account. Well, it's not really serious, we laughed at it together but still, it really bothers me. And for this reason, on these photos here I didn't use my circle lens and my makeup was not as heavy as the ulzzang makeup.


Sorry for the poor quality and unprofessional photographs. You see, I use a 2mp front camera to took the photos and do the editing with free mobile apps. I do have a professional camera and I know how to operate it, but my 2 year old simcard-less ugly cellphone is all I need.

Aaw I've been having serious trouble with my cellphone(s). I don't need to explain the details because all messed up phone madness has occurred since last August and all those shits drove me mad.


I love flowers. My favorite flowers are Hydrangea, Daisy, Sunflower, Tulip, and Lotus. I'm not sure whether the one I got here are daisies, lol. It looked like Daisies but are they Daisies?

Below are 2 compilations of my selfies, and you can see how blonde my hair is. I am happy enough with the color. I have a bottle of Virgin Snow shade of Manic Panic but I haven't tried it. Should I make my hair blonde or keep it half like this?

Stopped by to say Hi

Hiiii!
Oh it feels so good to be here. I got so much to but I'm quite in a tight schedule. I don't even know what should I don't write here because so much happens during the past phew weeks and it's pretty hard to make a simple post.

Anywaay, here's a selfie from one of an #AGENTOFCHANGE segment on LSPR Radio.


Please excuse my super ugly derp. This was taken on an inconvenient timing.

Hmm.. it's hard to describe how busy I am. Oh my that previous sentence really made me sound like a snobbish ratchet. But I'm serious tho, this is my first free weekend after about a month.

Last weekend I literally spent most of my time at Teater Jakarta. For two days I left home on 7 am and came back on 1 am. Well, not really.. On saturday I left on 1pm but still, I came back on 1 am. lol... I was working on a decorative panel booth and also being an usher for an incredible event. I may blog about last week but my previous weeks are not even lest interesting than last week.

I choose to be busy. Joining a club and be an officer. Those are the things that I love to do, pushing my limits and see what I am capable of. You will never know unless you try.

That's all I can say for now. 
I'll post about my latest selfies soon :p
