Hi, a couple days ago I (finally) did my first waxing, (yeaaahhh). For me, doing waxing is something new in my life. Back then, when i lived at Indonesia, I never able to have time for waxing. I grew up at 90ish, which mean doing beauty routine is not as easy as now. I did spa several times, but since it's not my thing, I didn't make it as my routine.

I also went to beauty salon several times, just for cutting my hair, or re-shape it. Back then, beauty salon is very expensive thing to do beauty routine. Coloring your nail at the beauty salon was only the very rich person privilege. 

Lucky for us that living in the world now. Because almost every beauty routine is as easy as doing it self at home. Like waxing. 

Before, you have to go to beauty salon, and pay lots of money for just get rid some hair at your armpit. But nowadays it as simple as going to the supermarket, and bought one of the waxing product, and do it at home.

I never did it before, since waxing wasn't my thing. Especially at the last company where I worked before moved to Melbourne. Because it was oil and gas field, and no use and time to taking care of your self there, LOL.

But when I am at Melbourne, everything is different. Most women that I know are really care about their beauty. I even really feel I am so not taking care of my own beauty, when I know my boyfriend's daughter go to nail salon once every two weeks just to fix her nail color. 

When doing weekly shopping at supermarket, I could see lots of products that able to buy for taking care our selves. Including this waxing product. Lots of products you could buy, with lots of brands too. 

Luckily, I have one project about making testimonial about this waxing product. The product is Nair Sensitive Mini Wax Strips. Came from Church & Dwight company, and sells all around Australia. This is one of the home waxing product for you to try.

Since it for sensitive skin, so you the sensitive skin's owner, this product is for you. You could use this product to rid hair at your face, armpit, and bikini area.

It consist of rice bran oil and cherry blossom extract. Beside it really smells good (because of the cherry blossom extract) and it also help our skin less irritate when we use the product.

Inside the box you could find 20 strips that you could use over and over until the wax already gone. Plus one leaflet that consist of do and don't before, while, and after doing your wax.

And also, you could find post waxing wipe. This wipe will help you clean the residue of wax at your skin. And also making your skin less irritate too.

For a small packaging, this thing is so complete.

For the beginner like me, sometimes you getting confuse what to do. Especially if you think the instruction is not complete enough to make you feel you are ready for doing it. But, worry not. The leaflet really helps you so much. It gave you lots of information about what to do before, during, and after waxing. 

At the front page, you could see the suggestion about how long the hair that you want to wax. And if you are doing it for the first time, it suggest you to try it at less sensitive area. And it also suggest you to wait 24 hours before starting to use it at your main skin.

Some things that you have to remember not do the waxing also mention at this leaflet. Like not doing waxing when bath, or after tanning. Apparently, when you are doing those two things, it makes your skin more sensitive. And also you have to remember not doing waxing at the skin wutg varicose veins, miles, warts, eczema, or damaged skin.

Not for elderly people too, and also people suffering from diabetes or circulatory problems. And do not wax inside the nose, ears, nipples, perianal, vaginal/genital area, or eyelashes.

And at the back, you can see the complete explanation about how to do wax at some places, like bikini line, legs, underarms, upper lip, eyebrows, and side of face.

You also find how to separate the strip, the right direction to put your strip, the right direction to pull it out of your skin, and also some tips that probably good for you. 

Hurt? Of course. But it's not like you've been hit by something. But more like when something pull out from your skin (duh!). But the result... amazing. I have no hair at my armpit. Really clean. 

Since the strip is mini, so I should try four strips for both of my armpits. It also helped too, because you could use one strip over and over until no more wax there.

After it, you could clean it with post waxing tape. Clean and clear.

The rest of the strip, store it and keep it away from the heat. Use it when it's time to wax again.

Why only your armpit?
Since it's already Autumn in Melbourne when the strip came, so I think keep the hair at my leg and bikin line will be okay. Because I will not using the bikini for a long time, until summer tho. LOL. So, my armpit will be okay.

How much it cost? In Australia, you could find this Nair Sensitive Mini Wax for only around A$5 at Coles or Woolworth Supermarket.

How much Nair in your place?

Hi all, I want to tell you about my story.

Apparently, for all this time, my life surrounded by toxic people. Started from my high school era, where one of my family starting to compare me with her daughter that five years older than me. As simple as I couldn't afford the computer by my self, while her daughter can. Which my mother said it wasn't fair because I wasn't working, but she did.

It actually didn't affect me much. Since I still young, and still naive about world at that time. Then when I took my bachelor degree outside my hometown, it affected me so much. Her and most of the family suddenly made up a story and theory that I wouldn't finish my school. Instead of finishing it, they predicted that I will getting pregnant. At the end, I finished my bachelor school in time, and not pregnant. Wrong prediction, but it already affected my mother so much.

It caused my relations with my mother not really good. She always blamed or angry to me towards everything. Can't stand the way she treated me, I decided to leave the house and lived at boarding house.

It took us a long time, until both of us put the white flag in our "war". Even thought we threw the white flags, but it didn't mean it over. I eventually found out that my mother still talked bad about me, with her family.

I didn't blame her, because I knew all of her behavior towards me because of her entire family that always told her nonsense about me. But you know, I was really upset with my mother because instead trusted me, her own daughter, she choose to trusted her family (which are they didn't stay 24 hours with me).

Apparently, these family behavior isn't stop. It keep going on and on and on, and getting ridiculous. When I still worked at my last company at Indonesia, they made up a story that I went to work with skirt and high heels. While the company rules said you couldn't wear any skirt or heels since they are oil and gas company, and I placed at their field.

Of course I didn't wear any heels or skirt at work. It could be ridiculous and of course I won't do it. And of course, their story came to my mother. Since I already tired with their attitude, and how they keep making me have a high tension with my mother, I just said to my mother that if she the person who really knew me and her family are, she will know which one is true which one is not.

And the last one, before I decided to get rid them from my life is when they suddenly commented about my partner. To be noted, that they never talked, met in person, or knew my partner characters. But they made this comment that my partner isn't a good person (at that time, we already have one year relations, and I already went several times to Melbourne).

And the most ridiculous thing was when all those stories wasn't affect my mother and my life so much, they then suggested me (towards my mother) to having a wedding ceremony at Indonesia, so it will be easier for us once we get divorce. I mean, how could some people had a gut to suggested about divorce, when even there wasn't a marriage, yet, and no problem between my partner and I??????

At the end, I thought that their "tentacles" were already became stronger. And before it become more and more stronger, I decided to cut all those tentacles away. I cut all the chance of communication with them. I erased all of their phone number, I unfriended, un-followed, then blocked all of their social media.

I did that to all the family member (except my own family), because I know no matter what kind of story I have, and no matter who knows it first, the entire family will found out and "create" another story with their own version, which is of course never been good.

What is Toxic Person?

According to Karen Young, you could see ten behaviors of toxic person:

1. Not one of our words look good or right in their eyes
2. They will commented (mostly negative), even at your tiny mistake
3. They will not allow us to be different
4. They will act they are fabulous and will show people that they have no mistake
5. They will make you feel guilty for yourself
6. They will criticized, control, and don't care about your feeling
7. They will not care if you hurt because of them
8. They will not know privacy, and the word NO means nothing for them
9. They will not care about your feeling, and sometimes they love to see you suffer
10. It's all about them, what they think, what they want, and what they feel

Review time!!!

This time I will review a L'Oreal Paris Eyeshadow Palette called Color Richè La Palette Nude Eyeshadow, beige color.

I think this eyeshadow is so compact. Because it size is not really big. With the black dope color, it makes the glam feel when I saw it. If you compare to the other famous eyeshadow palette, this one smaller than that. Because it have small packaging, you could bring this palette at your bag.

The other thing from this packaging is the shape is as same as most of the palette. With 10 natural shades inside, plus mirror and the applicator stick, and all of them of course following the small packaging.

For shades range, this palette have 10 natural color, that I think all of the colors can be use for lots of occatuons. From everyday look, until glam look. According to L'Oreal, all of the colors are personally hand pick by their own makeup designer that inspired by effortless and chic makeup from Parisian woman.

One of the shape from the shades shaped with motif ini it. It so different and of course pretty. From 10 shades, they have five shimmer colors and 5 matte colors. Too bad they didn't put name on each color so I couldn't tell you which is which.

But, once again, these colors are perfect for your glam look, but also simple, or try the no makeup look. 

L'Oreal Paris? Who don't know this brand!! And of course this palette is super soft and pigmented. Once you swipe at your eyelid, you will see the result immediately. It stick perfectly at your eyelid. 

Since my skin color is warm (same like this palette color) it took me several swipes to make the colors pop up. But I think this palette is awesome.

even without eye primer, the color could stand very much long, more less 4 hours. And if you use eye primer before, it will one or two hours longer than without using eye primer.

This eyeshadow palette is awesome. I could use it for meeting my friend for lunch or even having a romantic dinner. Plus the natural color would able to make you flawless without having too much colors in your eyes.

For you the MUA or beauty junkie. this product maybe not the choice if you want to have a character makeup, but if you want something glamorous, try this.

The wand, even it's small, but the wand helped you so much. Especially when you blend, it helped you blend perfectly.

Like I said before, the colors at this eyeshadow is pigmented. So you don't have to worry to swipe it several times, unless you have warm color skin (like mine). Maybe need two or three times. But, you don't have to do three times when you use the eyes primer, because it will help making the colors popping out.

Here is the swatch at my hands, from right to left up, then right to left down is the result of the palette colors from right to left:

i reduce the lighting in order to be clearly seen because my skin tone is as warm as the eyeshadow

sorry for a messy eyeliner Sh** happened tho...

And that's the result when I applied it at my eye lid. I used eye primer before using the palette, and a little bit shock because apparently the colors really popping out. Because I didn't realize it when I did in front of the mirror.

So, actually, I would to recommend this palette especially for your everyday use. 

Count down to my first year living at Australia, and also another birthday celebration for me. Yeps, my birthday is just a month before my date moved to Australia.

After moving to Australia, I absolutely can't come and gather with my friend in Indonesia anymore. Most of my time spent for completing the documents that the immigration needs for my visa, and also writing and updating my blog.

For my 2018 wish list, I made more than one. I made five wishes, and I'm hopping it will be happen soon too.

Of course getting my visa approve and having a new job always become my priority. Since it is so difficult and wasting lots of time and money. Plus I am stressed so much about this things.

I realize so much change in one year, so much tears, so much compromises too.
