Remember when I said I want to post more mundane stuff? Yep this is the post that I want to share.
I mostly buy things online and they came in the mail. Most stuff I got are things I use routinely or random stuff I want to try.
So these are the things I ordered last week and came in the mail!
A very adorable Japanese brand sunscreen. Easily available in Indonesian e-commerce store.
So sunscreen has been something I’ve been struggling to find. Having a sensitive and allergic prone skin made it hard to find a suitable sunscreen.
I’ve been routinely using sunscreen since I was 18 I guess? Quite late but better late than never? For a while struggling with allergic reactions and acne whilst trying to find the perfect sunscreen
Then I found Shiseido’s Perfect UV Protector SPF 50+ PA++++ (old pearly white packaging) and used it for 3 years. And loving that sunscreen because it’s safe for my skin and I love how it feels on my skin. And then they changed the formulation and ever since then, the new formulation always gave me somekind of reaction.
There was a time for sunscreen hopping for me. I used Anessa too for a while (again, before they changed the formula), then relying on my primer and tinted moisturizer since I wear makeup daily. Then started using Kose’s sekkisei’s sunscreen and finally the Biore UV Oil control base (Meant to be a primer but I use it even without makeup).
After the pandemic, I decided there is no point of using makeup as I used to 😅. Whilst I love the Biore UV oil control base, it’s very hard to find here and I run out pretty quickly too.
With the power of the internet in 2021, I researched the sunscreen without list of things I am allergic to. And people recommended this sunscreen.
Yep. I think I found my favorite sunscreen now. I love (I’ll emphasize it again. LOVE) the texture (so light, moisturizing without being oily or silicone-y feeling afterwards). No stinging sensation (free of alcohol). No fragrance. And no reaction from my skin.
I usually use a dusting of loose powder because it’s very shimmery and dewy, not a good look for someone with oily skin like me. And probably if I were to change something is that I wished this would be waterproof and sweatproof (some sources said it is, but I can’t read Japanese on the packaging 😅)
I couldn’t comment whether it leaves a whitecast since I am quite pale. But I assume it doesn’t.
Highly, highly recommend this sunscreen. Hope I could repurchase easily when this runs out.
A local brand sunscreen which has stellar reviews. I am excited to try this one for the ingredients and it’s very suitable for sensitive and acne prone skin.
I hope I don’t develop a reaction to the Cica extract 🤞 Because sometimes I do to Laneige’s Cica Sleeping Mask if I leave it on too long 😅. Fingers crossed!
Because I use very small wallets 😅 I wish I could downsize more though. But this is nice, there is enough compartment for bills (I always fold my bills even when using normal sized wallet) and extra cards.
Since the beginning of this year I decided not to blow my hair straight with hairdryer and just let it airdry and curl naturally (okay, probably I am just lazy).
I have naturally wavy hair. But I don’t have a lot of hair 😅 but each of the hair strand is pretty thick and heavy so I have this heavy and non voluminous hair.
I found this local brand accidentaly and saw their products, their hibiscus line is made for wavy hair. I used them for a while now and found I got more volumous hair after washing my hair with their shampoo bar.
Shampoo bars are SLS free and good for the environment. Love that I could easily transitioned from normal shampoo to this shampoo bar because it doesn’t make my hair dry, I love the cooling sensation afterward.
Okay that’s all for today! See you soon guys!
