Perhaps, it's a new beginning?

Apparently it's been a month (or more) since the last time I wrote something here. I've been meaning to write since forever. Nevertheless, I've been busy with lab reports and quizzes (the standard excuses), I haven't got the chance to write. I'm going to take back my statement which involves me writing once every week at least. From now on I'm going to write whenever I want to, no dead line.

I want to take this blog into a new direction. I've been writing here since I was in grade 8, and mostly it's me babbling. However, from now on I want to make posts that are worthy to be read. I'm not doing this for anyone because I'm not even sure if there's another human being other than me reading this blog, I'm doing this for the sake of my personal development. I'll be posting better stories, better pictures, better reviews, and most importantly I'll be writing something that matters to me.

Since this is a start, I'm going to tell you a bit of information regarding myself.

My name is Alliyya but you can call me Al - my initials. Born and raised in Jakarta, Indonesia in 1996. The youngest of four. A biology student and currently in my third year. What inspired me to be a biologist is my fascination of the deep sea. A passionate writer and bathroom singer. My writings consist of my life story, poems or song writings, and fictional stories.

I lied about me being a bathroom singer. As a shy person I could never sing in front of my family, I'd rather sing in front of a thousand strangers. I do love to sing (when none of my family members are around) and have sung in public. Taught myself to play the piano. My techniques may be of poor quality, but hey I can play a song or two. Enjoy listening to any kind of music I find soothing. Some people may find me quiet, others find me entertaining. I'm a bilingual, interested to learn Spanish. Enjoy being both alone and surrounded by friends.

I hope with my writings in the future you can know me better and I can inspire or entertain you in some ways.

Love,

Alliyya

ROLLOVER REACTION NEW SHADES REVIEW + SWATCHES

Untuk pertama kalinya saya, aku, gue.. enaknya apa ya. Saya terlalu formal, gue terlalu informal, jadi aku aja kali ya. Untuk pertama kalinya aku akan nulis blog post dengan bahasa Indonesia. Mungkin seterusnya setiap aku review produk lokal aku akan memakai bahasa Indonesia yang tidak sesuai dengan kaidah yang baik dan benar. Beberapa bulan terakhir aku lebih tertarik dengan lipstick lokal dibanding lipstick brand luar. Wish list udah panjang karena tahun ini banyak banget brand lokal yang ngeluarin liquid lipstick. Rollover Reaction sudah ada sejak bulan Maret tahun ini, tapi baru kesampean nyoba bulan lalu meskipun dari awal keluar udah naksir. Baru-baru ini RR release 3 shades baru yang bertema 90's. Karena lagi cinta dengan lipstick bernuansa coklat, langsung deh spontan ambil semuanya. Packaging Cinta banget sama liquid lipstick yang packagingnya persegi. Lipsticknya dikemas dalam frosted glass dengan doe-foot applicator dan cap hitam. Designnya simple (both box dan

The Balm Meet Matt(e) Hughes FAKE vs REAL

I recently fell in love with The Balm's products especially their liquid lipstick, Meet Matte Hughes. Quick review, it's one of the best liquid lipsticks out there. I love liquid lipsticks that have mousse-y texture and doesn't suck the moisture out of my lips. Although it doesn't last as long as some liquid lipsticks I own, it's very comfortable on the lips. The only problem I have is that a lot of online shops sell fake products and claim it as original products. Me being reckless, I fell in the trap and got myself a fake lipstick. This writing is meant to show the difference between the fake and the real Meet Matte Hughes, and to share some tips based on personal experience on how to avoid getting fake products. During the holiday I purchased The Balm Committed in an online shop on Instagram (IG: cathydolla now seoulshopping - this online shop changed their name 3 times since I purchased the fake lipstick ). I've been eyeing on Committed and Adoring and dec

TheBalm Meet Matt(e) Hughes Review + Swatches

One of the comfiest liquid lipsticks I have ever tried. Period. I first stumbled upon this lipstick months ago. The first Meet Matt(e) Hughes I purchased was the shade Charming. At first I wasn't really into it so I decided to give it away. It wasn't until last month-when I laid my eyes on the newer shades-that I realised how much I love this liquid lipstick.  Packaging The Balm's products have the best packaging. How can you stay away from the eye-catching, Retro packaging. Plus, they all have cute names. The picture of Matt and his date is too cute. The tube itself is transparent with a doe foot applicator. The only con of this lipstick would be messy, look at the wand below. Although I never experience it, some people complain that the products would leak out of the tube. Texture It has a creamy texture which I really like. I prefer a mousse-y formula as it doesn't dry out your lips. Even though it doesn't feel as dry as say Colourpop, you still
