Moisturizing Socks

I've been keeping this item quite long since I received it with my various orders from USA.
I bought Bamboo Overnight Moisturizing Socks at Amazon.Com.

My boyfriend once told me that there are socks special for dry feet and those for diabetics patients.
When I saw these at Amazon, I straight away put it in my shopping cart.
I have cracked heels and very dry feet. I put on my foot lotion every night but I was always afraid the lotion would stain my beed sheet. So these socks come in handy :)

Product Features

• Just apply your favorite lotion and cover with the socks.
• Wear overnight or just watching TV. Keeps your lotion working right at the surface to help heal dry, cracked skin.
• 95% bamboo and 5% Lycra.  
• Bamboo is naturally hypoallergenic, naturally antibacterial, won't hold odor
• Soft and Comfortable Feel!

 The shop has gloves too. The fabric is so soft. I wear the socks every night when I sleep.

New products from The All Natural Face: Oil make up remover and Foundation primer

While I was placing an order for my beauty shop customer at The All Natural Face,  I also purchased some new stuffs available for myself :)

Here they are:

1. Natural Oil Make Up Remover
Note: After I re-checked, this item is a free item of October Sale.....
This probably my first oil make up remover.

Why do we use oil to remove and clean our make up?
The counter facial wash will strip all the natural oils out of our face skin. Most of these are made from water SLSs ( think dishsoap) and alcohol. We are brainwashed into thinking that if it squeaks it is clean...not true with your face. If it squeaks it is crying out.
This becomes more important as we age because the skin losing its ability to remain elastic and we start to get wrinkles. By keeping your skin hydrated in oils that mimic the skins natural sebum...you will have healthier... less wrinkly skin. Nothing reverses the aging process. there is no magic pill. All we can do is take care of the vessel we are given to the best of our ability. Oil will remove any makeup...yes including waterproof mascara...

Natural Oil Make Up Remover

What Crystal writes about the product:
How does oil clean you ask? For the same reason soap works:) The oil in the soap naturally attracts the dirt particles. By rinsing your face with a warm washcloth after applying the oil you are removing the dirt:) A little oil left on your face is a good thing:) My Oil Makeup Remover is chock full of skin lovin oils:)
The process is as simple as can be:
1. Apply oil to face to remove makeup and dirt.
2. Have a warm washcloth and gently remove the oil from your face:)
Repeat the rinsing as often as needed or desired:) It does take a few days to get used to this. You may experience a pimple or two. If you stick with it with will see glorious results. Everyone I have recommended this to has had nothing but success. If you do not have success...stop...but please give it a little while before you reject it completely:) your face might just thank me for it:)...I know your future wrinkles will:)

2. Vegan Foundation Primer

What Crystal writes about the product:

This is the perfect base for your powder or mousse foundation. It gives a silky smooth finish to your skin that will keep your oil at bay and help your foundation to stay put. You can also set your foundation with a hydration mist if you like but this alone is fine too:) The best thing about this primer is the silky smooth feeling. You do not feel like you are wearing makeup and your skin feels softer and better than it does without makeup. You are going to love this:)

Ingredients: Purified Water, Mica, Boron Nitride, Magnesium Myristate, Glycerin, Cosmocil CQ ( preservative used in contact lens solution and baby wipes), Potassium Sorbate ( food grade preservative)

Note: I haven't used this yet, haven't got a time to experiment with other stuffs too.

First time order from HiFi Cosmetics

Following beauty bloggers or following mineral make up on Twitter can be very infectious.
Beauty bloggers write their review and playing with latest make up products, while following cosmetic companies is really helpful because I can get the latest info of their products and sale time.
Recently, I saw many bloggers gave reviews on Hi-Fi Cosmetics, and of course.... I was curious and allured!

I followed Hi-Fi Cosmetics on Twitter, and when I saw the sale announcement,  I thought this was time to place my first order.
Here's the announcement:

SURPRISE SALE!!!!



--- Buy any 2 eyeshadows or lip glosses and get 1 item (of equal or lesser value) FREE!


Just mention coupon code SURPRISE and your color choices in the message section at checkout. Please double-check your cart and message section before submitting your order. Sale ends Saturday, October 16th, unless otherwise noted.

I convo Veronica (the owner) about the sale, I wanted to know if it's possible to order combination, e.g. 1 eyeshadows and one lipgloss to get 1 free item.
She said: OK!

I have browsed through her store, and boy oh boy.... Colors are pretty!

I'm waiting for my order to ship. I'll update you for the goods later :)

Aromaleigh opens for International orders!

I have decided to forget about getting stuffs from Aromaleigh on closing sale sometime after Kristen announced no International orders on July 2010.
But heyyyyy...... Yesterday I saw her tweet, telling us that it's open again.... Woo Hoo....

Here's the news on http://blog.aromaleigh.com/blog/2010/10/international-aromaleigh-customers-special-chance-to-order.html

"I've got a special announcement for established international customers- I feel very badly about how all the international shipping stuff happened.

I can make an exception to the policy if you're already a customer, and if you agree to work the transaction/order out with me not being responsible for refunds or replacements in case of loss or damage. I can only do this by shipping via International Priority Mail with tracking, which is trackable and I can insure, because it requires a signature for delivery (our previous setup was First Class Mail (not trackable, no signature) and Priority Mail Flat Rate (not trackable, no signature).

Please contact me via aromaleigh at me dot com  (remove spaces and replace at with
@ and dot with a . ) if you'd like to do this, with a list of items you want to order that are in stock, Vault or Site. Thanks!"


Once I receive your list, I will see what's in stock, offer you a chance to choose alternates if not everything is available (it's great if you can provide a list of alternates when you email in case this occurs)... and get back to you with a shipping quote.

You can order items listed in the Vault or on the regular site... please note that it may take me a few days to get back with you, and these orders are shipping a little slower than orders through the automated systems, which are still set up only to accept domestic orders.

I look forward to hearing from you and providing International Customers with this opportunity to get in their last orders, as there has been requests for the Cosmic Farewell collections...

Sincerely,
Kristen


I know what I wanted. When I was making the list, I then changed it because I need to be precautious on spending my money. Final list is here:

Nocturne Overnight Mineral Treatment
Gothic Lolita Rouge in Rococo
Rocks! Sonic Rouge in breathless
Illuminating Perle Powder, mini, in Incandesce

Don't forget, the official closing of the store is November 15, 2010. Hurry up and shop.

I look forward to hearing from Kristen about the stock :)

Reunion Lunch and Meow's Halloween Collection

I attended a lunch, which was a reunion for Jakarta's former Tae Kwon Do athletes. My niece asked whether she could come, so I brought her. I thanked my friend, Juana Wangsa Putri, who was a world champion (can you believe that??) and compete in 2004 Olympic Games in Greece, for including me in the invitation list.
It's been a long time since I met my Tae Kwon Do friends.
I picked my new dress I bought from online shop in Facebook. I love the dress!
I decided to wear dramatic eye look, smokey eyes using Meow's Halloween Collection as Halloween was coming (no relations what so ever,  lol)

Love Moon Anion Woman Pad

About a month ago, my friend from college introduced me to Anion Love Moon woman pad.
She gave me a short presentation and demo on the features and benefits of the pad.
Curious?
Here's some information I can share with you......

What Is Anion?


NEGATIVE ANION is a natural relief factor against environmental and biological pollutants. Nicknamed as "vitamins of the air"

NEGATIVE ION'S in the air attract particles of pollution and give them a negative charge, making them seek electrical "ground", which causes them to fall harmlessly to the floor.


NEGATIVE IONS are odorless, tasteless, and invisible molecules that we inhale in abundance in certain environments, Such as; mountains, waterfalls, and beaches. Once they reach our bloodstream, NEGATIVE IONS produce biochemical reactions that increase levels of the mood chemical serotonin, helping to alleviate depression, relieve stress, and boost our daytime energy


7 Layers Of Protection From Anion Love Moon Sanitary Pads


During menstrual period, skin in pubes may be easily hurt, genital system is also weak for resisting substances from external environment, it is to care yourself to carefully protect pubes. Therefore, it can not only assist to maintain health but also set up self-confidence and self-respect to select suitable napkin.

1st Layer.- Premium soft cotton surface - giving you ultra comfort.
2nd Layer.- Unique Anion Padding - works naturally to relieve menstrual discomforts.
3rd Layer.- Ultra soft cotton layer - enhances softness and freshness.
4th Layer.- Super absorbent polymer - locks in moisture, keeps surface dry.
5th Layer.- Ultra soft cotton layer - enhances softness and freshness.
6th Layer.- Breathable bottom layer - eliminates moisture and heat fast, keeping you fresh.
7th Layer.- Specially designed back adhesive - conforms with human ergonomics.

7 Layers of protection

Well, she pointed out some things which attracted my attention, such as the materials used (do you know most sanitary napkin are made from bleached and recycled papers??), we can dispose it to the toilet and flush, because it's made from biodegradable materials. Or the glue to stick to our underwear, and the packaging (made from Premium Aluminum Packaging, a hygienic and re-sealable packaging design, for protection against bacteria, fungus and moisture).

It also provides expiration date on the packaging, while other brand does not.

The expiration date of Love Moon Anion



I bought one pack of the night pad to try.

Today, I bought quite a bit for my own stock. Yes, the price is slightly higher than other brand, but you get all the benefits :)

Anion Day Time IDR 50,000

Anion Night IDR 50,000

Anion Pantyliner, IDR 55,000

Anion ranges

I believe it gives me benefit in long term. I have been using retail store pads since I started to have my period, and now it's the time to change it, like I did with my lifestyle.


Would you like to try and order those? Just contact me (msprasaja at gmail dot com), I'll assist you :)
International orders are welcome because Anion has branches in 70 countries.
