O.P.I Nail Lacquer in Dulce de Leche Review

I love this color, somehow I really do. It's O.P.I, so I would not be disappointed---would I?

To my surprise, it takes FOREVER to dry and IT CHIPS VERY EASILY, even after topped with the great Sally Hansen Advanced Hard as Nails Strengthening Top Coat (very recommended!). In a day or two, you should expect it to crack. I couldn't believe myself, so I gave it another few tries. And it still sucked.

My mom owns few O.P.I nail polishes, they all work great, so I kept wondering how this one failed to impress me. If you are questioning its authenticity, I will answer that I'm certain it's authentic, my mom bought it from the O.P.I counter directly for Rp 190.000,- (around $16)

This post has been sitting on my draft for months. I apologize for not showing how the color would look like when painted on nails. Every time I wanted to take a photo of it on my nails I feel highly unmotivated--then I decided I wouldn't do it. I know it's not going to be worth-it, I don't want to spend time beautifying my nails only to be disappointed the next day.

I love the shade, but the quality is poor and truly disappointing. I will not repurchase unless they make changes to the formula.

Anyway, I bought some items, I'm quite happy with my purchases and I want to review them! But I have 'use for at least three weeks before posting a review' rule I made for myself. Noooooooooo oh well can't wait to post! Have a good day!

Hello! What have you guys been up to? These days I'm--still busy--playing--with my cuties. Yeah, I'm still playing Fire Emblem: Awakening. I'm a bit disappointed that my husband prince doesn't call me with pet names. In Harvest Moon, you can choose how you want your partner calls you; Darling, Honey, or Dear.

'The people need to be saved! Wifey, let's go!' Probably like that. I want Chrom to sound badass and still dorky at the same time.

Guys, are you still there? Okay, I don't want to tire you out with my unnecessary gaming comments either.

And seven things about myself :

1. I'm indecisive and--slow-paced. I take minutes to decide if I want to buy something. I panic when someone tells me to 'just decide quickly'.
2. I have social anxiety. I like the advantages blogging gives me, I like sounding like I'm a bright and cheerful person. I don't feel guilty after blogging either.
3. I can sleep for ten hours (or more) straight. But I definitely don't enjoy being called kebo (or water buffalo).
4. I have obsession with neat handwriting and perfectly-made paper. My favorite stationary brand is Kokuyo! I'm proud of my handwriting and it's probably the only thing I'm proud of.
5. I haven't been studying French again, it's getting rusty--and I don't know if I'm going to do something with it (like majoring on it or something) in the near future.
6. Oh by the way my skin type is combination, leaning more to oily, and is acne-prone.
7. I'm now sick because three days ago I drank three glasses of instant ice lemon tea in one go. I'm an idiot. Don't you ever do this.

My head is throbbing, brb resting. Have a good day, guys.

My Makeup Essentials

Most of the time, I get too lazy to go for 'full makeup'. I proceed without this and that. However, I'm certain we all have those products we can't skip before going out! Here are mines!

1) Sephora Mineral Foundation Compact
I got this from my aunty as a gift. It has a mirror and a puff, but after experiencing a breakout the puff gives, the puff sits there simply as a decoration (I was in France and I left the brush at home, wow stupidity). This foundation powder greatly gives my skin smoother look, I love this!! Lasting power and oil control are an okay but I love the result it gives! Normally, I carry it with me but I never actually retouch, I leave the house as I wish it would stand my oily face.

2) MAJOLICA MAJORCA Lash Enamel Glamour Volume On
Another gift, this time from a friend. My first mascara ever and I'm never going to switch brand. Majolica Majorca's mascaras are no joke, they are the real deal. Even if you sweat a lot, cry a pool, or run through the rain, it will stay still awesomely. This mascara is the queen! And just look at the gorgeous packaging! I actually did a comparison with my ex-housemate's Benefit They're Real! and Benefit was such a pain to remove, Majolica Majorca's could easily be removed with hot water. This one is supposed to give you more volume, but my friend said that my eyelashes are thick (not full, just--thick, every lash is just thick), so this mascara doesn't work so well on me. I tried it on my brother (yes, brother, because eh no sister) and it worked--wonderfully. Wow.

3) Whatever brow pencil *cough* Etude House Drawing Eyebrow AD
Full review here. I included it in this post because doing my brows is an essential routine of mine. This one pencil is dead though, the job's done, time to look for a new brow kit.

4) Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler
One of the best eyelash curlers out there, but it just doesn't really fit my eyelid shape. I tried an eyelash curler my friend bought from Daiso and it worked better on me. Even so, I still need this, Queen Majolica Majorca can't go without her throne curled.

5) Yves Rocher Stop Correcteur Malin
Full review here. A bit hard to blend, but works great on my dark circles.

6) The Body Shop All-in-One BB Cream
This and the Sephora Mineral Compact Foundation are a match. I can't achieve the 'smoother skin' look without the powder, and my face will be all shiny with oil without the BB cream. This BB cream has grains with color-changing feature, when applying you could feel the--grains--on your face--feels weird, but that's how it works. When my skin tanned greatly, I didn't need to replace my BB cream because it could adapt itself with my skin tone. Light coverage, okay oil control, but still feels great.

7) 3 Concept Eyes Pink Kabuki Brush
Affordable, about $9. Comes with an expensive-looking pouch. Washed few times already. Really soft, doesn't shed, doesn't irritate my skin. *dances*

8) Too Cool For School Milk Tint
Full review here. Lovely peach color and doesn't leave my lips dry. It's my favorite lip tint so far!

9) The Body Shop Born Lippy Stick Lip Balm
Well. Lip balm. You just don't skip it. Full review here.

Okay now have a good day, guys!!
