Retouch my hair with L'oreal Paris Excellence Fashion in Golden Nude Brown

Tutorial dan review cat rambut L'oreal Paris Excellence Fashion Golden Nude Brown | www.bigdreamerblog.com
As you already know, selama 2 tahun terakhir ini aku selalu gonta-ganti warna rambut, dari yang awalnya ombre, jadi full satu kepala, sampe akhirnya peek-a-boo. Nah, mulai awal tahun ini aku akhirnya mencoba untuk cat rambut sendiri, karena harganya lumayan murah dibanding harus ngecat ke salon. Yang jadi masalah, keseringan mewarnai rambut bakal bikin rambut kita jadi rusak, kering parah, susah diatur (padahal dulu rambutku nurut banget), dan akhirnya bakal butuh perawatan ekstra. Tapi yah, namanya juga cewe, udah tau bakal bikin rusak juga tetep aja suka ngewarnain, hahaha. Salah satu trik buat ngakalin ya kita harus pake cat rambut yang kualitasnya oke, salah satunya L'oreal Paris Excellence Fashion. Aku juga udah pernah ngecat rambut pake L'oreal sebelumnya, tapi itu di salon. Kali ini, aku bakal cobain buat ngecat sendiri di rumah!
L'oreal Paris Excellence Fashion hadir dengan warna-warna vivid dan kamu nggak perlu khawatir dengan kerusakan yang bakal ditimbulkan. Soalnya, semir rambut ini udah terkenal sebagai cat rambut nomor satu di dunia, punya teknologi proteksi Triple-Care (menguatkan, melindungi, memperbaharui rambut saat pewarnaan), dan Hi-Shine Complex (Damage-free formula, supreme nutrition, multi-angle reflection) untuk warna rambut yang terlihat berkilau.
Pernah nggak, sebelum mau ngecat rambut parno duluan apakah warnanya bakal cocok di kamu atau nggak? Nah, L'oreal Paris Excellence Fashion baru aja merilis 3 warna baru nih, ada warna 6.34 Intense Golden Auburn, 6.13 Golden Nude Brown, dan P66 Spicy Red. Ketiga warna cat rambut intense ini terinspirasi dari The Parisian Haute Couture yang dilengkapi dengan Triple Care Formula dan Shine Complex. Intense Golden Auburn adalah semir rambut warna coklat hangat yang bisa ngasih kesan glamour untuk warna rambut kamu, sedangkan kalau mau main aman, bisa pilih warna Golden Nude Brown seperti aku. Warna coklatnya yang sophisticated cocok banget untuk skin tone orang Indonesia. Lalu, kalau kamu dare to be bold, mereka juga punya warna merah intens yang fashionable, Intense Spicy Red. Warna-warna ini memang diciptakan untuk menunjang penampilan kita supaya makin stylish dengan warna rambut yang intens dan tahan lama.

Di dalamnya terdapat Protective Pre-Color Serum, Protective Creme Colorant, Creme Developer, dan Protective Conditioner serta sisir aplikator untuk membantu pengaplikasikan cat ke rambut kita.
***
Step pertama adalah menggunakan Protective pre-color serum yang berguna sebagai perlindungan sebelum memulai pewarnaan. Oh ya, untuk lebih amannya, lakukan dulu tes alergi 48 jam sebelum pewarnaan yaaa.
Setelah itu, kita harus mencampurkan krim pewarnanya dengan krim developer. Krim pewarnanya bisa langsung dicampur di kemasan krim developer, setelah itu dikocok-kocok hingga rata dan siap untuk diaplikasikan ke rambut.
Setelah mengocok/ mencampur creme developer and colorant hingga rata, segera patahin bagian tutup kemasan supaya produk tidak belepotan karena mengembang.
Setelah itu, kamu bisa mengganti tutupnya dengan sisir aplikator untuk memudahkan pengaplikasian cat ke rambut.
Daaan, tentu saja step yang paling ditunggu-tunggu, you're ready to dye your hair! Pencet bagian botol dan arahkan mulai dari kulit kepala hingga ke ujung rambut. Untuk meratakan biasanya aku agak memijat bagian kulit kepala dan rambut seperti lagi keramas.
Setelah merasa catnya udah rata, tinggal kamu diemin deh sekitar 30 menit. Abis itu, bilas dengan air hangat hingga bersih atau air yang mengalir turun dari rambut kamu udah bening gitu. Setelah itu, aplikasikan conditioner dan diamkan selama 2 menit, baru bilas lagi.
Now, let's see the result!
Aku sebenarnya suka banget nih sama hasil akhirnya warnanya, sayangnya agak nggak masuk di rambut aku yang bekas bleaching. (FYI, untuk menghilangkan warna hijaunya, harusnya dinetralisir dulu dengan warna ungu/merah, atau aku harus bleaching ulang biar warnanya ilang.) Tapi, seperti yang bisa kalian lihat, roots aku yang tadinya hitam jadi coklat banget, kan? Jadi kalau kalian rambutnya masih virgin atau belum pernah cat sebelumnya, warnanya bakal masuk bangettt! Pemakaiannya gampang banget, jadi bisa banget ngecat rambut sendiri tanpa bantuan orang lain. Selama pemakaian/ didiemin juga nggak ada rasa aneh-aneh kaya panas atau gatel, baunya juga nggak nyengat seperti cat rambut kebanyakan.
Oh iya, cat loreal excellence fashion ini juga nggak bikin rambut kering, lho! Sama sekali nggak ada rasa kasar saat dipegang (kalo ujung rambutku mah udah dari kemaren-kemaren keringnya, hehe). Aku suka banget warna coklatnya, like literally golden hahaha.
DIY cat rambut L'oreal Paris Excellence Fashion Golden Nude Brown | www.bigdreamerblog.comHarga cat rambut L'oreal Paris Excellence Fashion ini cukup affordable, yaitu IDR 123.000 dan bisa dibeli di offline maupun online store seperti Drugstore, Department Store, toko-toko kosmetik, dan E-commerce seperti blibli.com dan Lazada.

About my outfit, it's actually a really simple one but yeah I think I got some swag *narcissist* I wore plain grey t-shirt with my new-in plaid midi skirt (which looks like sarung hahaha) and Nike black sneakers.

Yeah, that's all. Just want to share some outfit photos before I post beauty related stuff again ;) Jaa, see ya on the next post~

Review: Pure Paw Paw Ointment (5 Variants)

Hola, let's talk about another product review in this post! FYI, I do lip swatch quite often and I need healthy, moisturized lips to create a pretty lip swatch. That's why (although I actually hated any oily thing on my lips before) I push myself to use lip balm, lip mask, scrub, any lip product lol. Then, I was sent this Pure Paw Paw ointment by Sociolla and super excited because of its cute (ups, super cute) packaging! Not only for lips tho, it can be used at any dry area on your body or even on scars. There are moreee of its benefits which I will write more below, so keep on reading okay ;)
Worry not, Pure Paw Paw Ointment is made from 100% natural ingredients, and one of the main ingredients is fermented Australian fresh papaya. Papaya is also called Paw Paw (that's why this ointment named Pure Paw Paw), contains high vitamin C and some unique enzyme to protect and heal your (dry) skin. Thanks to its natural ingredients, it's safe for anyone with normal or sensitive skin, even baby.
Some benefits of this paw paw ointment are:
💖Moisturize dry skin
💖Moisturize dry lips
💖Soothe rough elbow/ knee
💖Soothe minor burn
💖Cuticle cream
💖Foot cream
💖Improve Minor Wounds
💖Improve Heat Rush
💖Improve Skin Rush
💖Baby diaper Rush
Wow! You can see that this ointment has sooo many benefits, right? No wonder it's one of the must-have item in your bag. It's also claimed that Pure Paw Paw Ointment can be used as brow gel even as primer before doing your makeup. Such amazing benefits you can get with IDR 65.000 :))
***
Packaging:


This product has the cutest packaging! I got mine in a cute clear pouch contains of all 5 variants. The ointment itself is packaged in plastic tube with flip-flop cap. It's only 25gr, which make it travel friendly- you can bring it anywhere without taking too much space. Each variant has different color combination and face. The original one is in all red tube, Grape in yellow tube with pink cap, Passion fruit in blue- yellow, watermelon in green- purple (hey, it reminds me of Hulk), and Strawberry in pink- blue.

Smell:

They have 5 variants for this paw paw ointment: Original, Grape, Passion Fruit, Watermelon, and Strawberry. For the original one (red packaging), it smells nothing bad but kinda... sour? I don't really like the smell tbh. For another four, they have this sweet, candy smell. My favorite is strawberry, it's sweet but not too strong! Basically there's no difference between each variants except its smell ;)

Texture:
Pure Paw Paw Ointment has translucent texture and similar to petroleum jelly, basically it's heavier than any cream because it's made of 80% oil and 20% water. I thought this Pure Paw Paw Ointment would be sticky and oily when it's applied, but turns out it's easily absorbed and don't leave sticky/ slippery feeling. It feels "heavy" at first, but it's melted once we apply it on lips/ elbows/ any dry area.

Overall Review:
I can say loudly that I LOVE THIS PRODUCT! It's working really well on my dry and patchy lips. We just need to apply a thin layer on night and the lips will feel amazing in the next morning. Oh, actually it can be used on the daytime too. Not only lips, I also use it for my elbows, knees, and any dry area on my body. I think it's really worth it to pay IDR 65.000 for this product. Oh, you can actually get it with cheaper price. Just use my code SBNLA6BR at checkout to get IDR 50.000 off with IDR 250.000 purchase ;)

Food Monster Escape: Amausaan Uji Matcha- Central Park Mall, Jakarta

Hola, Dreamers! It's been a while since my last Food Monster Escape post, right? I'm currently in love with a matcha specialty cafe/ dessert house called Amausan Uji Matcha, located inside Central Park Mall Jakarta, LG floor near BCA ATM. This is the dessert house you must visit when you're longing for Japan, especially Kyoto. All the decorations are screaming Japan- with traditional wood interior, shrine-like exterior, including wish boards and fortune telling corner. The torii in front of it is an instagrammable spot tho!
Before we get inside or take a seat, we should order first. So the sequence will be: order, wait until the waitress call you and show you your seat, enjoy your matcha desserts. Every corner of Amausan Uji Matcha is worth a pic, imo. We can also use those Japanese decorations as photo property, but make sure to return it afterwards.

Actually, I've visited it two times! First time with my friend Ticia and second one with my mom. So, I'm gonna write a short review about all menu that I've tried (it's quite a lot, hehe) and tell you which one that I love the most :)) 

Uji Matcha Ice Bamboo Tube (IDR 52k)
Uji Matcha Ice Bamboo Tube is one of Amausan Uji Matcha signature menu, served in bamboo tube- obviously. It contains shaved ice, shiratama balls (rice cake), red bean, matcha gelato, whipped cream with caramel and roasted rice puff. Even I'm not a fan of whipped cream, I can say that I love it after some bites and I totally love the rice puff. Hands down to the matcha gelato, it's sooo gewd! It still has the bitterness that make it tasted authentic. 

Matsukawa- Raw Matcha Bowl (IDR 62k)
My friend ordered this and I had a bite- it's so matcha! If you're a true matcha lover, you must love this one. With the combination of matcha gelato, red bean, shiratama, and raw matcha jelly, it simply brings you to Kyoto (what?!). The hint of bitterness from matcha gelato and jelly + sweetness from red bean + chewy shiratama = best combo!

Ishida- White Jade Matcha Story (IDR 62k)
I tried this on my second visit, I thought that I must try another dessert so I could write more on this review, hehe. I ordered Ishida- White Jade Matcha Story (what a beautiful name) contains matcha soft-serve, red bean, shiratama (glutinous rice balls), roasted rice puff, and we'll also find a hint of crunchy Japanese crispywafer and vanilla silk pudding inside. All the ingredients create a perfect harmony- tasted super good. But if I have to choose, I actually prefer their matcha gelato. This soft-serve is good, but you can taste more milky matcha rather than "bitter-sweet" matcha. It's personal preference tho :)

Sakura Blossom Roll Cake (IDR 39k)
This roll cake is from their Cherry Blossoms series. I ordered it because I love sakura (lol) and it's available for a limited time only so I just gotta try it. It's roll cake with sakura cream filling and edible sakura flower on the top. I have to say that....I LOVE THIS CAKE! It's so fluffy, soft without tasted too dry, and the filling was just perfect. Not too creamy and not too sweet. The sakura tasted a little bit sour- in a good way. I'm not sure it's still available now tho :(

Overall, it's such a pleasant visit(s) and I know I'm gonna go there again and again. FYI, they imported the matcha from Uji, Kyoto, that's why the authenticity is guaranteed. Based on my palates, I love matcha gelato more than matcha soft-serve, simply because I still can taste the bitterness from their gelato- it just tasted authentic, hahaha. Oh, the price might be pretty expensive for some people but I think it's an equal price for such a high quality matcha desserts. It's a must-visit dessert cafe for matcha lovers in Jakarta ;)
