I miss you :)

My grandpa (from mother's side), Soebardi Dwijosoesanto was a really nice and stern guy. He worked as a headmaster during his working days. His wife, which is my grandma, worked as a teacher in the same school. They worked in a public school. Whenever the children heard his footsteps, they turned quiet. Headmaster's and the teacher's salary in public school isn't big. But he wanted the best for his children. He sent his children to a catholic school. He didn't have much money. One egg, for seven children. My grandpa made SMP-SMA bellarminus. Not made the building. Find the teachers, the curriculum, and others related to that, he was the one who did it. I remember the way he shook hands. His grab was strong. When he retired, he moved to Solo in his village. He was keturunan mbah demang. Mbah demang is like one of the richest guy in the village. I love going to his house. The house wasn't so big, but the land is. He got the place where the villagers gather to discuss something. And he had like a timbul-timbul pictures of the story of Jesus in a wood. And he got this giant Maria statue! I wished I have the picture of it. And he even got church in his house area. It's for praying of course. And I just heard this from my mom, he liked to gather people who's less luckier than him and pray together. I remember his last hours. It was at night. I couldn't sleep because my mom was talking to my grandma loudly on phone. I listened to her conversation. My grandpa died because of a liver cancer. He had been suffering from that disease like 10 years before he died. He didn't do anything with it. I forgot what were they talking about. I remember when my grandma told my mom that he shouted something while sleeping. And a few minutes later he's gone. I'm so glad to know him. He was a great man, a great catholic, and a great teacher. I love you and I miss you :') I know you're fine up there.

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...

Wangsa Jelita Green Tea Lotion, Rose Body Butter and Sandalwood Beauty Oil Review

First post in 2016! Yay! Before I start with the review I'm gonna do a background story, so here goes. There was this night where I randomly scrolled through my blog post and found a comment from an actual person. I was surprised because I really thought no one reads my blog except me. I was so happy to know that there's actually someone who enjoyed my writing (at least that's what I thought). It turned out that the co-founder of a local brand called Wangsa Jelita wanted to chat with me. I looked at the date and bam! it was 4 months ago. I emailed her anyway to say thank you and from there I got offered to try Wangsa Jelita's products. Of course I said yes. I've heard of the brand for quite some time now. Unfortunately, I never got the chance to try because most of my body care products (body butter, lotion, etc) are purchased by my mum. Yes, the products I'm about to review are sent to me. Meaning, I didn't pay a dime for these products. Howe...

Evete Products Review

I actually finished writing months ago. I don't know why but I kept on procrastinating. Note: photos are taken by my phone and hence the quality of the photos aren't that good. But eh, the reviews are all that matters. I’ve gotten myself quite a lot of Evete’s products recently. Evete is an Indonesian brand specialised in natural handmade skincare products. I have made a review comparing their lip balm with another brand somewhere in this blog. And since I’ve tried all their products – body butter, body lotion, body scrub, lip balm and face scrub– why not review them all. Lip Balms I’m a fan of their lip balms. I have finished three tubes, and going to finish another one soon. The lip balm feels heavy and thick. It will also give you that shine on your lips. It is very moisturising. If you have chapped lips or want extra moisture at night, this would be the perfect product. Evete has 6 different smells for their lip balms and since I purchased their Valen...
