Wonderful Wednesday with My Purple World, Oh My Heartsie Girls and Friends

Always happy to be back too our weekly link party!

And again, we are blessed with wonderful week of precious, quality family time.
Weather has been crazy, so many heavy rainy days preceded by super hot days.
Climate change is no joke here.

I have been traveling for works around Jakarta and Bandung. I feel bad because I literally meet my kids at night only. Good thing we managed to gather in Bandung for a quick weekend getaway.
Check out my short story at WW: De Ranch Lembang, Indonesia. 
We certainly had fun riding horse-drawn cart or delman, horse riding, as well as touring the farm and enjoying the wonderful landscape.
If you happen to look for short weekend getaway from Jakarta, Lembang will be the best choice for you.

But Now.....

WW: De Ranch Lembang, Indonesia

Welcome back, people.

Weekend just passed and we had a wonderful one indeed!
Spending 3 days in Bandung (partly mixed with my works and meetings), the Frakarsas,  ma petite famille, managed to enjoy Bandung at its best.

Bandung, the capital city of West Java Province, has long been known as the paradise for creativity, - be it in the forms of fashion, culinary, music, art performances and more,- as well as wonderful weather and gorgeous landscapes.

This time, we drove to Lembang, another popular spot near bandung which is located n the upper part or at the feet of Tangkuban Perahu mountain. It took us around 50 minutes drive from Dago, Bandung.

Destination: De Ranch Lembang

De Ranch in Lembang is the place where you can have family-packed adventures in the open farm with wonderful landscape. Here we can try horse or pony riding, horse-cart or Delman ride, fun boat trip, gold hunter, fishing and more!

My daughter Obi loves horses and ponies so much.
Obviously, she wanted us to take all those rides and since I couldn't ride the horse (I'm too fat for it, that's what they said his), we took the delman trip followed by the horse trip for Obi and my hubby. 

Before enjoying the horse riding, we took a walk along the farm and it was lovely!
We took pictures of the horses and since the warning that horses can bite and kick, we pretty much took a safe distance.

The surrounding area is also beautiful.
Green lush forest framing the majestic Tangkuban Perahu mountain, fresh purple-and-pink wild flowers spreading on the field. Not to mention the fresh, clean cool air we breath.

beautiful purple flowers

The delman ride was also fun! 
The three of us, - Bo, Obi and I (three persons maximum in this cart) rode this traditional horse-drawn carriage around the farm for about 20 minutes.
Not bad at all!

Fun boat ride!

   

What we loved most is the horse-riding of course.
My hubby and Obi were truly enjoying their ride!

Cheers..

For sure, I will share more on the next post.
Stick around and will be happily back with more only for you!

Join us in (almost) Wordless Wednesday and have fun linking up with so many other bloggers feom many corners of the world

Review of Fenty Beauty Match Stix in Sinamon

Back to my beauty trunk and let's see what I have today!

Review of Fenty Beauty Match Six in Sinamon.

Anybody likes using highlighters?

I do too!

Highlighters have been booming since the last 5 years and nowadays we have more and more choices when it comes to using these beautiful products.

Why I love highlighter

I love using highlighter.

Do you want to know why? 

As the name suggested, highlighter is used to highlight our favorite features on our face.

For sure, we have so many choices of colors and shades that you can choose now, starting from the powder or liquid ones, - probably most popular,- as well as stick and brick.

Aku memang senang menggunakan highlighter yang notabene membantu menampilkan beberapa bagian wajah yang kusuka, seperti pipi, hidung dan dagu. Apalagi highlighter memberi efek tirus dan kurus, seperti yang kuharapkan LOL. Yang pasti, highlighter juga bisa dipakai untuk pengganti eye shadow dan juga lipstik.

One thing for sure, I love using highlighter because it gives great contouring to my face.

Highlighter, as the name suggested, is used to highlight the feature of our face which we want to focus on. In my case, I usually use it on my cheeks, eyes, nose and chin.

Well, we have different feature obviously but usually, as I have read in many sources and tried myself in one of the free make-up courses I took, I used highlighter in 7 different spots on our face. Do you want to know where exactly they are?

Those places, among others, are:

- cheekbones (my favorite place indeed!)

- the tip or bridge of our nose

- cupid's bow 

- forehead center

- beneath the arch of our brows

- above the arch of our brows

- chin center

You see, so many choices for the place on our face where you can apply your favorite highlighter.

The challenge to find the right highlighter for us continues as we will have to see not only the shades but also the way it blends with our skin. 

I have been using several highlighters, including the ones from Anastasia Beverly Hills, Sephora, and Huda Beauty. I will be reviewing them but I will now start with my favourite, Match stix Fenty Beauty  in Sinamon. 

I guess many of you have heard of Fenty Beauty by Rihanna, right?

Rihanna has been a famous singer and this Caribbean beauty (born and raised in Barbados) certainly works on being a leading entrepreneur, including in cosmetic world. And I am one of her fans!

Match Stix Fenty Beauty in Sinamon

So now let's get down to business and here's my review for Match stix Fenty Beauty - Sinamon.

"A magnetized highlighter stick in a longwear, light-as-air formula to highlight, blush, and bronze in 10 colorful shades that let you play".

That's the claim I read from fentibeauty.com about this Match Stix.

Fenty Beauty by Rihanna

What is a match stix by the way?

It's one of the most-wanted products from Fenty Beauty which comes in various shades and different finish, either SHIMMER or MATTE. And as the packaging is formed in a a certain way and coming with magnet, they can stick to one another with different shades.

Function as highlighter, blush, and even eye shadow, I love match six from Fenty Beauty in Sinamon. The version I use is shimmer skinstick and tt's the perfect shade for my skin complexion as well.  

THE SHADE

The shade that I use is called Sinamon.
It's pretty much a shimmer one with copper - based tone and it falls under Cinnamon Bronze group.

the swatch ..

This is how it looks on my skin.

It's pretty, isn't it?

You can see how it shimmers and really highlights my skin.

Moreover, it feels good on my skin too.

No breakout, no itchy feeling, not hotness and IT STAYS!

I have been using this product for my eyes, cheeks, lips, nose, and chin and this is how it looks.

Sepertinya aku harus kursus lagi nih dan diajari bagaimana memanfaatkan highlighter dengan baik dan benar. Ternyata tidak gampang lho menggunakannya tanpa menimbulkan kesan terlalu berlebihan atau bling-bling banget, It's not always that easy to find the right way of doing it.

look tired, but I still love it!

On another occasion, I have used it as well for my cheeks only and I love the look!

I love this highlighter sooo much!

THE INGREDIENTS

The ingredients of Sinamon are, among others: mica, ethylhexyl isononanoate, octyldodecanol, polymethyl methacrylate, sucrose acetate isobutyrate, c20-40 alcohols, paraffin, tribehenin, polyethylene, vp/eicosene copolymer, vp/hexadecene copolymer, diisostearyl malate, cera microcristallina/microcrystalline wax/cire microcristalline, caprylyl glycol, phenoxyethanol, tocopheryl acetate, hexylene glycol, tocopherol, isostearyl alcohol, ascorbyl palmitate, malic acid, and calcium sodium borosilicate.

So far I found it all safe.

THE PACKAGING

The packaging is lovely. It's like a sturdy plastic container in choco milk color. 
Fenty Beauty is written in silver font in one of the side and the name of the shade is written underneath.  It looks neat.
You have to roll it up to get the highlighter out. 

THE PRICE

The price of this collection is USD 25 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 Times Square New York City. As always, it's always been my favorite spot!

Repurchase? Yes, yes, yes... And I gues I might try and explore other shades.

Sepertinya aku tertarik untuk mencoba shades yang matte dan melihat hasilnya di kulitku.

So, how do you like it? 

Have you tried other Fenty products?
Do you think you will like the shimmer or the matte finishing?

Do you have your favorite collection when it comes to highlighter?

Will you buy this one?
