As an asian live in a tropical area we tend to have a dull and dry skin. since the weather is the major factor that affecting our skin and sometimes caused some skin problem. Beside skincare we need to pay attention to our daily use make up. 

1. Defined skin texture The optical effect of self-luminance powder creates defined and healthy radiance. 

2. Optical whitening effect High-reflection Booster Oil increases the amount of light that is reflected on your 

skin to brighten your skin. 

3. Supple and radiant finish Luminance Glam Water instantly applies smoothly and delivers hydration for a supple

and radiant finish.

What i love about LANEIGE is they always focused on how to make the skin looks flawless and natural. Including their make up line.. from the base to the lipstick comes with a wide range of natural colors, suitable for all skin types and the most important is...my skin looks really natural and healthy eventho wearing makeup

But anyway, as usual i always do a review by comparing the new product with my daily use product. This time is LANEIGE water supreme primer base vs LANEIGE lumi volume primer.

I must admit that two of them have the same coverage ability, gives a smooth texture and not sticky at all. but there's a thing that makes LANEIGE lumi volume primer better than water supreme primer base ---> the glowy dewy look. Yep.. Recently, i did a lot of glowy makeup and so addicted with lumi volume primer.

p.s. If you want your make up look natural then go with water supreme primer, but if you want your make up look brighter and more radiant then go with lumi volume primer base

the steps how to apply the product:

1. After basic skincare, use as the first step of makeup. 

2. Squeeze a pea-sized amount to spread over your cheeks, forehead, and chin and gently pat for a thin finish. 

3. Apply more for a brighter and more defined expression.

you can see the difference right away..the first photo looks natural glowy and the second one looks natural matte

using LANEIGE lumi volume primer

such a great opportunity to collaborate with CHARLES&KEITH and Grazia indonesia on CHARLES&KEITH spring/summer 2014 collection launching and fashion clinic event last week.

what i wore:

CHARLES&KEITH navy bowling bag, black pointed clear chunky heels, green forest long wallet/ Zara printed bow back sheer printed blouse/ unbranded green forest flounce skirt

At the styling event last week, anindita saryuf ( ELLE indonesia fashion editor ) shared tips and tricks for spring/summer outfit and fashion advices while she presented her own styling for MMJ

So here's the recap from the styling event, enjoy! And be jealous ;p

On previous post we already talk about dorothy perkins spring/summer 2014 style essentials included the must have items and the trend you need to follow this season.

So for dorothy perkins style essentials competition i already pick one of style essentials for SS14, "the midi" to be exact. 

People always think that midi-length skirts only create a feminine and girly-ish look but thru this first look I try to get out from the common thinking that midi length skirts always associated with feminine look. So i picked a leather jacket to make this second outfit look more bold and outstanding. Ultra edgy leather jacket and the midi works really well together, don't you think the same way? 

What i wore:

H&M cropped leather jacket/ unbranded layered sleeveless cropped top/ mini bag worn as clutch/ Dorothy Perkins polka-dot midi-length skirt/ zara pointed ankle boots

as i said before, champagne rose is one of key color for this spring/summer season. So by mixing the it color and the it item for this spring/summer outfit surely will bring the spring/summer feeling to the higher level.

What i wore: 

Stradivarius stripes longsleeve shirt/ champagne rose midi pleat skirt c/o dorothy perkins / f21 rose diamond necklace/ asos brown peeptoe boots/ uniqlo knit socks/LIEBESKIND berlin bag c/o time international - urban icon

champagne rose is one of key color for this spring/summer season. if you pass by at any major fashion store i guarantee you'll see at least two fashion items on champagne rose color. 

On previous post we already talk about dorothy perkins spring/summer 2014 style essentials included the must have items and the trend you need to follow this season. Well, in this post i'm wearing the same skirt that wynne (one of my blogger friend) wore at dorothy perkins style essentials press preview couple weeks ago. To create a trendy spring/summer outfit i combined the midi skirt with a casual stripes longsleeve shirt and a simple necklace. BTW i will submit this outfit for dorothy perkins style essentials competition..and will give you a full description about why i pick "the midi" as my preference on the next post (spoiler: maybe i'll repeat the same phrase from this post :p )

Also i need to express my gratitude for urban icon team and LIEBESKIND for their surprise gift (psttt..i got a limited edition bag) so glad to have a beautiful bag from LIEBESKIND and of course URBAN ICON

Oh yea..almost forget to say thanks to you guys who already spend some time write encouraging and supportive comments on my previous outfit post. Am i really look good on sporty outfit??? looking better than the outfit on this post? Well maybe we can make another experiment on sporty outfit? HAHAHA just kidding..
