Painting of Borobudur at Hotel Tentrem, Jogjakarta

I have been traveling for work and last week, I revisited Jogja and enjoyed its endless charms. Sometimes, when I travel for meetings especially in Indonesia, I don't get the chance to explore the city. I usually manage to sneak around to get some food and local cuisines. 

This time, we went to the legendary Pak Pong's Sate Klathak in Bantul, Jogjakarta.

Sate Klathak is basically young lamb satay roasted in traditional way, using charcoal from coconut shell and just use salt with no special marinate sauce. 

We are also given the lamb soup as an added condiment and eat it with steamed rice. If you like it hot, they also serve fresh cut chilly for extra flavor. It is delicious indeed!

Review Sephora Favorites Give Me Some Nude Lips

Taraaaa…
I'm back with the review of my favorite lipsticks.
This time is I have Sephora Favorites Give Me Some Nude Lips, particularly the Spring Collection.

Have I told you that I am a big fan of Sephora?
I guess I have, right?
And frankly, I have had sooo many collections of beauty product, particularly lipsticks

Before we go further, feel free to watch the full review of Sephora Favorites Give Me Some Nude Lips, particularly the Spring Collection, on my YouTube video.
And tell me what you think!

Sebenarnya produk yang ingin aku review di sini sudah lengkap aku sampaikan di video YouTube yang lumayan panjang, alias 24 minutes. But I hope it's fine because I do try and review each and every lip samplers we have in that package.

So, let's start our review!

Sephora Favorites Give Me Some Nude Lips is a special collection of lip samplers curated by Sephora. Obviously, this one consists of samplers with nude shades, from some of the most-favorite and most-wanted brands sold in or through Sephora.

The one that I have here is from Spring collection of 2018.

This collection has 5 lip samplers and 1 full-size lipstick.
To start with, here's the swatches.

Here's the swatches..

Let's start with the lip samplers, shall we?
Then later you can tell me your favorite!

Tarte - Tarteist quick dry matte lip paint in exposed

Tarte - tarteist in Exposed

This lip sampler of Tarte - Tarteist is pretty much the nude collection with matte finishing in this collection.
It  comes in a small tube, weighting 0.034 oz/ 1 mL.

As the name suggested, Tarte Tarteist quick dry matte lip paint really dries quick!

I love the matte finishing but the shade is too pale for me. 

Nars Lipstick - Orgams

Such a provocative name :). Nars in Orgasm 

This lip sampler is small, with the weight around 0.05 oz/ 1.7 g. Enough to check whether this shade is perfect for you. 

I love this kind of nude because it has reddish tint on it.

But still the finishing is not matte so 

Hourglass - Girl Lip Stylo in Futurist

This lip sampler is cute, reminding me of the chubby stick from other brand.

The color is super nude and it has more moisturizer on it.

It has glossy finishing and it does not really stay.

For me, it feels like a lip gloss.

Buxom Full-On Lip Polish in Sugar

Buxom Full-On Lip Polish in Sugar is sooo good because it has mint sensation on it

The weight is about 0.07 oz/ 2 mL, so it is small like other lip samplers.  

It also has metallic and glitter finishing, so perhaps it will be perfect for 

Smashbox Be Legendary Liquid Pigment in Mauve Wife

 Smashbox Be Legendary Liquid Pigment in Mauve Wife is my fave!

Although it comes in small package, only 0.17 oz/ 5 mL, but I love the shade.

Perhaps, it is safe to say that it is the BOLDEST of the nude collection we have here.

As mauve is pretty much darker, it looks good on me.

Urban Decay Vice Special Effect in Fever

This one is the full size lipstick in this collection.

Weighting about 0.16 oz/ 4.7 mL, Urban Decay Vice Special Effects in Fever, as the name suggested, gives an extra glittery effect to your lips.

I guess it will be perfect to put it on top of your lipstick so that it has shimmering and glittery effect.

The price of this collection is USD 28 before taxes (depending on where you buy it, but in NYC it becomes around USD 31 after the VAT) and I bought it in Sephora Herald Square New York City.

Repurchase? Maybe not.. And not because it's not good but because I rather buy the full size of my favorite ones.

So, how do you like it? 

Which one is your favorite collection?

Will you buy this one?

WW: Murals at Springfield, Connecticut

Some #throwback edition fo this week's (almost) Wordless Wednesday.

the lovely carousel in Springfield, CT

We were visiting Springfield, Connecticut and went to Dr. Seuss Museum.

Read the complete story at The Amazing World of Dr. Seuss 

Then before heading back to New York City, we stopped at the Court Square Historic District and enjoyed beautiful murals of celebrities, musicians as well as the characters from the Wizard of Oz. Some of them are painted on the wall, doors, and windows.

We also enjoyed the lovely red bricks buildings around the area.

One lovely corner

Here are a few snaps from there.

Can you guess who they are? 

I bet you can :).

Do you like taking pictures of the murals and buildings?

Where is your favorite place for that?

Join us on  (almost) Wordless Wednesday and have fun with the link party!

Saga Multilateral - Multilateral Affairs for Everyone

Siapaa kita? 

Multilateral...

Saga Multilateral

Indonesia untuk Dunia (Indonesia for the world)

Thundering yell-yell and answers came from hundreds of us, the staff of Multilateral Affairs, who were gathering around our booth at Pernyataan Pers Tahunan Menlu (PPTM) or Annual Press Statement of the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Indonesia. 

That afternoon marked the opening of PPTM or the annual Press Statement, held in the main building complex of the Ministry in Central Jakarta.

This event was also coupled with 3-day exhibition from each Directorate Generals in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. 

For you who like to know more about the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Indonesia, feel free to click www.kemlu.go.id. 

Well, in a nut shell, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs consists of the Secretariat General; Directorate General fo Asia, Pacific and Africa Affairs; America and Europe Affairs; ASEAN; Multilateral Affairs; Information and Public Diplomacy; Law and International Treaties; Protocol and Consular; Inspectorate General; and Policy Analysis and Development.Each Directorate General has its own tasks and objectives, covering a wide range of issues formulated in our foreign policies.

And now, let me invite you to take a closer look of what my unit, Directorate General of Multilateral Affairs, particularly Directorate for Human Rights and Humanitarian Affairs, does. And it's in the form of colourful cartoons. 

Introducing Saga Multilateral!

Saga Multilateral

We have a series of cartoon specially prepared for 2019 Annual Press Statement Expo.

The idea behind this creative approach is because we want to make sure that our works are understood by every stakeholders, including the your generations or our famous millennials. One of the biggest complaints and challenges we have in raising awareness about our works is the fact that most of the works take place in international fora, away from home and not always directly link to issues at home. Moreover, as part of the global community, besides putting forward our own priorities, we have to actively contribute to the joint efforts in making the world a better place.

We need to make them down to earth so that there is a sense of ownership from multi stakeholders plus more contributions to the whole process. Besides, the most important part of the whole process at the multilateral fora such as the United Nations is how to make it work at the grass root level. The real implementation of it. So long story short, we worked in a team to prepare the Expo, including brainstorming about these characters. One of our super talented friends, Mukti, was excitedly designing all these characters in details.

Let's take a look at them first and tell me what you think!

First we have, ADIL or literally translated as FAIR.

Adil is the icon of my unit, Directorate of Human Rights and Humanitarian Affairs.

Adil is depicted as a true partner for democracy, diversity, development and social justice.

Tough job, right.

Adil from Directorate of Human Rights and Humanitarian Affairs

Second, we have LUHUR or literally translated as noble.

He is the icon of the Directorate of Social Cultural  Affairs and International Organisations of Developing Countries.

He is advancing civilisation for a better world, focusing on the importance of the fulfilment social cultural rights for all of us.

Third we have MAKMUR, or literally translated as prosperity. 

Makmur represents the Directorate for Trade, Industry, Investment and Intellectual Property Rights.

This unit is focusing on down-to-earth economic diplomacy to all our counterparts in order to achieve greater prosperity for all.

Next, we have BANGUN, or literally translated as development or to develop.

Bangun represents the Directorate of Economic Development and Environmental Affairs, covering a wide range of issues regarding the effective implementation of Sustainable Development Goals, among others.

And of course, we have our fantastic female character, Damai  or literally translated as peace.

Damai is the iconic representation of the Directorate of International Peace and Disarmament. Taking care of issues related to peace and security, as well as disarmament efforts taken by countries and international organisations. As you know, international peace is such a luxury and we need to constantly take measures to ensure conflicts that take place in many parts of the world can be properly addressed through pacific settlement.

Damai from Saga Multilateral

Finally, we have BUNDA, or literally translated as mother.

Well, our Bunda is the character for our Secretariat General, which is taking care of so many aspects in order to make multilateral work for everyone.

Our Secretariat General is also in charge of Indonesia's candidacies in so many international organisations.

Well, Indonesia is member of 240 international organisations, ranging from those under the platform of United Nations to those which are dealing with Indonesia's foreign policies priorities.  

Bunda from Saga Multilateral

So, how do you like Saga Multilateral? 

Do you think it's easier to understand our works at the multilateral fora when we translate them into something interesting like this?

Which one is your favorite character?
