Make Up For Ever So Divine

To remove make up that we wear all day, of course we need a cleanser. Whatever it is - it has to work well in lifting the dirt from the face without drying the skin or clog the pores. 

I feel so blessed I found this product when I learned make up in Make Up For Ever a few years ago and I have been using it ever since. This is called “So Divine”, a mineral oil-free cream that cleanses away all impurities, including waterproof make up. It is dermatological tested on sensitive skin, non comedogenic and paraben-free.

I love the packaging and the smell as well. All I have to do is just squeeze it from the tube – very easy. The smell is like fruit. I love any kind of products that smell good. It brings the good emotion to me whenever I use it. 

It is a good product to try, especially for people with dry skin because it hydrates and moisturizes the skin. Although, I have an oily skin, I still think this product is the best because it makes my skin feel soft without eliminates the moisture from the skin and it does not feel greasy at all. I had tried some cleanser products before and I can say that they did not meet my expectation – some are very oily and others either blog my pores or dry my skin. So Divine is bit pricey IDR. 430.000,-, but nothing is good comes with low price, right? ;)

Have you tried this before? Give me some feedback in comments... and do not forget to join my site, Twitter and Instagram, Thank You... ;)

Black Long Lasting Eyeliner Pencil

I am sure most of you DDG wear eyeliner for everyday use and you can not go wrong with black color, you can wear it from day to night, either to create natural or dramatic look. It will look absolutely stunning. 

There are various types of eyeliner from pencil to liquid and cream. If you are not used to apply make up by yourself or you do not have much time to do it, I suggest you to use pencil eyeliner. It is easy, fast and you do not even need an application tool to use it. There are two options of the pencil eyeliner, one is the most common form which is made from wood and the other one is retractable. 

Let me show you some of drug store products that I ever tried:
 
Regular eyeliner (Left), Retractable eyeliner (Right)

 
  Before after smudge

I wore those eyeliners one by one (in my upper and lower lash line) all day. To show you how pigmented and how fade they are, I applied them on my hand and rubbed them back and forth and as you can see, the color of regular pencils eyeliner are grey-black, not black-black. Whereas the retractable color are more pigmented and tend to be creamier in formula, making them easier to apply, but causing them to fade slightly more quickly than the regular one.

I found that PAC and Revlon Colorstay Eyeliner are long lasting. If you are looking for bold color, you can go for Revlon, but if you like something which is not really black-black, PAC is the best choice.
