Hello, everyone! Hope you good~ On Tuesday, I was invited again to Maybelline New York-Indonesia's launching event on their ClearSmooth All in One Cake Powder. Different from the previous horse-riding session with them, this one is their press conference event, held at The Foundry of Lot 8 SCBD. So as I stated previously on my last post, the new ambassador for Maybelline has been chosen and it is Eva Celia! Doesn't she look stunning?

Other than introducing Eva to the media and tips & tricks on using the ClearSmooth All In One Cake Powder to its maximum potential, there is also a short fashion show / skit performed by the Maybelline Girls. Their outfits ranges from typical highschool student to your outdoor beach look. Everything is held with much fun and I gladly had my fair share of fun with fellow bloggers as well.

Overall, it was a well organized plan and orchestrated wonderfully. Congratulations on Eva for being Maybelline New York-Indonesia's new brand ambassador and I hope to see great things to be achieved by her in the name of Maybelline. :)

Thank you for reading! xx

Hey guys! Today I'm going to review on Maybelline's new ClearSmooth All In One Shine Free Cake Powder! As you all know, Maybelline is probably an already familiar drugstore makeup brand. Not long ago, they released their new improved formula for the cake powder, and I'm here to review this for you guys!

What I have is the cake powder compact and the refill. For the compact, it's equipped with built-in mirror that is very convinient for someone who travels a lot like I do. Refilling the compact is extremely easy too. You can just pop them using a sharp object, like perhaps, pens or pencil's end, to get them out. Easy as 1, 2, 3. :p The design is also very minimalistic. It's a pastel lavender color with translucent pink at the bottom.

I got mine in 05 Sand Beige for the refill and 03 Natural as for the actual compact. Reason why I get 2 different shades is because I was looking for a more tan complexion since I'm a pretty pale kid. You know, trying to change my makeup routine and all.

Tested it out on my hands. As you can see, I drew 2 crosses on my left hand. The left side is one that is not using ClearSmooth, while the right one is using it. The cross on the right side is definitely fader than the one on the left side. It also makes my hands lighter in complexion and smoothes it out.

Overall, I'm been using it for 1 and a half week by now, and I got no complaint. I'd say this Maybelline compact does its job for a drugstore price. Because as a business majored student, you want to see your hard-earned kachings on things that'll do you good for a long period of time. That's all, peeps! I'll see you in my next review, okaaaay~? :p

Thanks for reading! xx

Hello, lovelies! So, last Sunday, exactly on the March 8th, I was invited by one of the Maybelline PR team to join their first ever horse riding event! Tell me, how awesome is that?! (Thanks to my lazy mermaid, Janine Intansari, for recommending me in the first place. Love you boo! <3) There were 9 other beauty bloggers aside from moi-self. It was fun to meet new faces once in a while~

Looking more officey, rather than esquestarian.

Selfies with Janine, Griss, Hanny and Chell (left to right)

Moving on, we met up in Senayan City's Starbucks early afternoon. We had our shares of caffeine and noms there and hopped into the designated bus. Our bus was personally escorted by a police officer, which made me feel super fancy. You know it's legit when you got escorted like that in any part of the world. *laughs* It took us approximately 1 hour from Senayan area to Cinere, where the stables are located.

The weather was definitely on our side. It was perfect day-out moment, clouds are shading us from the blistering heat of the sun. The resort (that has the stables and all) was very accomodating as well. It reminds me of a Balinese resort that I used to stay in during holiday seasons. We came around and sat around these tables, that have all these mirrors set up and makeups everywhere. I know something is up. For sure!

Casual esquestarian look, doesn't want it to be too formal.

Bunch of makeups and stations!

We tried on their new improved formula of Clear Smooth All In One Shine Free Cake Powder on ourself and now it's finally clear why are we in the stables in the first place. It's more of a 'test-run' to see their credibility on the Shine Control claims. Smart move!

And so we did, straded and hacking out around the resorts. Though I find it hilarious that my horse, King Kong, was such a derp fellow. He was shocked to see his own reflection on the nearby mirror. It almost gave me a heart attack when he just stumbled like that. I guess my clumsy persona sort of transferred to him. XD

With Janine, right before our horse riding session. (Fancy hat, yes?)

Riding the derpy horse. King Kong.

And for sure, my face wasn't oily at all after all that exercises. Alas, the claims are true and proven by me ~! XD Other than that, we had some quality time with the brand new ambassador of Maybelline ID (soon will be revealed!) She's very friendly and elaborate in speaking! I love her already~ <3 But like every fun story needs to end, we had to say our goodbyes to Arthayasa Stables as we head back to Senayan.

Legit oil free!

Overall, I had my fair share of fun together with the lovely bloggers there. I got to know them better and the Maybelline team (as well as the PR team who handled the event elegantly, props to you guys!) Can't wait to meet them again soon on the 24th for the official presscon of MNY! Be sure to check out this blog again to see who is the brand new face of Maybelline New York - Indonesia! See you next time!
