Beauty: Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet Lipstick no. 34 La Rafinée

Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet Lipstick no.34 La Rafinée  is my new babe!

Hi, everyone.
Ready to peek the next lipstick collection of mine?
Let me introduce you to Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet Lipstick no. 34, La Rafinée,  then.

Belum bosen kan ya untuk membahas lipstik or lipen tercinta?
Aku belum!
Maafkan kalau aku masih semangat aja mereview lipstik-lipstik tercinta yang selalu aku bawa ke mana-mana. Bahkan sepertinya tasku pun berat karena aneka lipstik dan make-up pouch LOL. Plus dokumen kerja pastinya.

Tapi bener deh. 
Dengan aneka ragam model, jenis, warna dan model lipstik yang ada sekarang, sepertinya mereview lipstik setiap hari juga ngga akan habis-habis. 
Apalagi saya suka penasaran dengan berbagai lipstik model dan warna baru.
Seringkali belum selesai dengan satu lipstik, saya sudah tergoda lagi dengan yang lain.
Boleh kan...
So, stick around!

Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet Lipstick no. 34 La Rafinée

Here's my take on Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet Lipstick no.34, La Rafinee

 BEHIND THE LIPSTICK

Chanel is for sure an established brand.
Many of us know it for many iconic items like Chanel bag or Chanel no.5 perfume, for example.
But for me, Chanel lipstick is irresistible.
I don't know exactly when they started launching the beauty products but for sure I have been enjoying some of them. 

I first used Chanel lipstick when I was in Geneve, Switzerland, back in 2007. 
It was somehow cheaper in Europe to get European brands,- of course, Indah, it's where they come from LOL.
And now, they have the velvet collection which is perfect me...and you!

love the color

THE LIPSTICK

The lipstick is Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet Lipstick no.34, La Rafinée

As I copied from the website, "This non-drying matte lipstick glides on lips with intensely rich, long-wearing colour and a sumptuously soft, velvet matte finish". That's what the website says.

Sounds great, right.
And the composition of this lipstick is "mother-of-pearl pigments deliver rich colour and a soft finish. Jojoba Oil and Shea Butter comfort and moisturize." Still from Chanel's website.

That is why it's nice and soft on your lips, yet looks beautifully matte with saturated color.

La Rafinée itself means 'refined'.
So I suppose this color is a refined shade that you will definitely love.

The price for this liquid matte is USD 37, before taxes and shipping.

I usually buy it in my favorite shop, Sephora, and you can definitely check it on www.chanel.com or any major department stores here in NYC, like Macy's, Saks 5th Avenue, Barney's, Bergdorf and Goodman and more. They also have it in Chanel boutique.

THE SWATCH

Here's how Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet Lipstick no. 34 La Rafinée looks on my complexion. 

that kind of nude I love so much ...

And this is how it looks when I put it on my lips

THE PERKS

I love it because the color is beautiful!
The prefect 'nude' I love put on my lips.
It's like dusty rose but more 'stand-out' for my complexion.

And the most important part is it feels sooo good on my lips!
Yes, another 'comfortable'  lipstick I can put on and on again.
It gives you velvet finish and matte but not drying.
So, I guess that's the reason why it feels great.
It may not stay that long, compared to others

The packaging is sleek and elegant. Not too fancy but it serves the purpose.

THE INGREDIENTS

As I can read in the box, -finely printed of course, the lipstick is made of mixture of, among others, Isononyl isononanoate, dicaprylyl carbonate, synthetic wax, jojoba esters, shea butter,  and more :). 

The lipstick is made in France.

The ingredients

THE NO-NO

It's quite expensive.
That's it!
Well, it's not the most expensive lipstick I have ever had, but loving it and using it most of the time means I have to buy more :).

That's the only no-no I have in mind.
The rest is fine for me.

So, finalement,  I give  Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet Lipstick no. 34 La Rafinée the score 9 out of 10.  

Dan kalau bicara lipstik, saya kok jadi inget neng Cheila Ribut alias Bu Guru Kecil deh.

Beberapa chat di WAG terkahir kami banyak ngobrolin soal lipstik hehehe.
Dan Cheila senang sepertinya mencoba aneka warna dan jenis lipstik baru. Mulai dari warna yang nude, bold, sampai warna in between yang juga cocok untuk semua.

Just like me :)
Dan yang penting kan pede dan nyaman di bibir.
So I guess, mom blogger kondang yang juga guru imut asyik di kampungnya dan sarat prestasi ini have the same soft spot for lipstick. Go check out her blog (link up here www.gurukecil.com) and you will see and read her colorful world.

Oke, ini ceritaku tentang lipstik  Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet Lipstick no. 34 La Rafinée.
Semoga ngga bosen ya dengan reviewku.
Ditunggu postingan lipstik-lipstik tercinta berikutnya ya.
Muuuaaah et amusez-vous bien!

Throwback Tuesday: The Wonderful Land of Papua

The Wonderful Land of Papua

I have only visited Papua, our Eastern-most island of Indonesia and I instantly fell in love.

I went to the wonderful land of Papua back in 2012.
It was for work, but we managed to see more of the city.
Our dearest friends in Papua took us to one of the highest spot in town and here's the view I enjoyed from the top.
Youtefa Bay looks beautiful indeed.

The brilliant blue sky is indeed amazing.

Including Sentani Lake, near the airport. 

Papua has a lot more to offer for sure.
As I mentioned earlier, I was there for work so I didn't really have much time to explore its amazing natural landscape.
But even with such a limited time, I was blessed to get the opportunity to see Youtefa Bay as well as Sentani Lake. 

It took quite a long flight to Jayapura, Papua.
I flew Garuda Indonesia  from Jakarta, had  a transit in Makassar, South Sulawesi, then another brief transit in Tembagapura, Timika, Papua, before landing safely at Sentani Airport, Jayapura.
It was only 8 hours overnight flight but we have to make two stops.
I promised myself to go back here again and dive!
Next destination will be Nabire and Raja Ampat, West Papua. 
So, Papua, wait for me :).

That's my #throwbacktuesday, the Wonderful Land of Papua

What's your wonderful memories today?

p.s : I will keep my Throwback Tuesday features but will post it every Wednesday or Thursday :).
