Hi! Happy New Year, y'all! It's 2018 already, time went by so fast, I'm so grateful for everything this past year. So excited in this 2018.

Last week Bali Beauty Blogger had first anniversary and we got Rejuvenating Pomegranate Cleansing Oil and Wild Honey Facial Mask from Sensatia Botanicals as one of our sponsor.

Sensatia Botanicals Rejuvenating Pomegranate Cleansing Oil

It's a new product and just launched yesterday!! so hurry up and grab it as it's still fresh. Finally there's a natural and local product that has cleansing oil. Been waiting for something like this. Please Sensatia, make cleansing water too.. I'll be waiting. 

Sensatia Botanicals Rejuvenating Pomegranate Cleansing Oil is 100% natural, non-comedogenic, rich in antioxidants and phytonutrients to help improve skin texture, while removing stubborn make-up.

The packaging is somehow cute because of the shape. I've been using many Sensatia Botanicals products but never seen this kind of bottle before. It's a pump brown plastic bottle with cap. Remember to bring back their empty bottles to be redeemed with stickers (12 stickers = IDR 100,000 Sensatia Cash). Love the idea of going green.

The oil is yellow like facial oil but it has lighter consistency. What I love is the scent, it doesn't have strong aromatherapy scent like the facial oil, but it's more pleasant as the name pomegranate. It has a slight fruity scent, not really noticeable at least for me.



I use mascara, eyeshadow, dollywink eyeliner, and liptint. I drop a few pumps of Sensatia Botanicals Rejuvenating Pomegranate Cleansing Oil to wipe my makeup, overall it works okay but the eyeliner and liptint is still there. I need to use waterproof makeup remover to remove the stain completely. But, for a 100% natural cleansing oil, it does its job well and way better than using the thick olive oil, as you know some people like to use olive oil as a makeup remover.



I'm really happy that finally a local product has a cleansing oil, especially when it's 100% natural. However for makeup removal, it doesn't do its job as  I wish it would. Yeah, it's not working for waterproof makeup.

Sensatia Botanicals Wild Honey Facial Mask

If you notice about Sensatia Botanicals Wild Honey Facial Mask, this one is the renewal version, the packaging is different and I like the new design. Let's take a look if the inside is still the same with the old one. Check out the old version's review here. This is a clay type mask.


A fragrant grounding honey mask designed to stimulate, nourish, revive, rejuvenate and refine by removing dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. Leaves your face feeling clean, fresh, invigorated and smooth with improved color and tone.



The packaging is a bit different, the box is now white and mint, while for the tube, the shape and material is still the same but has different design. I like the look of the new one, the color is dark brown with mint green (my fave color, btw), it's more elegant than the previous version.  

The color is almost the same but the texture is slightly different. The old one is more harsh but creamier (has a bit of granules) while the new one is thicker but super soft and smooth.


When applied, the old one seems to need more time to dry completely, the new one is softer and dries so fast so I don't feel my skin is getting tighten like normal clay mask does. As for the scent, the new one has softer scent. The strong scent from the old version is somehow to strong for me and my least favorite thing from this mask. So far for the changes, me likey..!

Hi! If you've read my blog, this isn't my first time writing about Sensatia Botanicals. I've reviewed some of their products from head to toe (read more here) and been loving them. As you know, on 'Bali Beauty Blogger Gathering 2016' event last month, we got a goody bag from Sensatia Botanicals filled with these goodness. Omg, I couldn't wait to try them ASAP!

What's Inside:

Sensatia Botanicals is located on the second floor at beauty area, in between nail salon and a beauty salon.

Sudah lama banget nih gak bahas yang namanya Body Lotion. Aku sendiri memang ga rutin pakai body lotion karena cuaca kan panas nih, seringnya merasa lengket kalau pakai lotion. That's why kali ini aku mau share body lotion favoritku yang ga lengket, cepat meresap dan ringan banget di kulit.

Kulitku lebih ke normal sebenarnya, kadang aja agak sedikit kering di daerah tertentu seperti siku dan tumit. Kalau untuk traveling aku lebih suka bawa hand cream kemana-mana, karena perubahan cuaca dan sering kena AC jadinya bikin kulit kering, hand cream ini penyelamat banget deh. Tapi kalau di rumah selalu pakainya tetap body lotion.

Why not body butter?

Honestly, body butter isn't my fave product karena terlalu intense dan lengket. Aku kalau pagi siang jarang pakai AC, malam saat tidur pakai AC tapi ga sampe butuh body butter. Menurutku body butter dibutuhkan kalau pas winter doang yang ga cocok banget kalau dipakai di daerah tropis.

Body lotion dari Nivea ini ada banyak banget jenisnya dan agak mirip-mirip, mungkin bingung bedainnya apa. Kebetulan produk ini dikirimin sama Nivea dulu dan ternyata sekarang jadi favoritku untuk dipakai siang hari.

Seri ini yang instant white, ada lagi yang body serum dan extra white dengan SPF lebih tinggi. Kalau disuruh memilih, nextnya mungkin aku coba yang body serum, tapi so far aku suka sama tekstur dan wangi body lotion yang ini.

Nivea Instant White Firming Body Lotion SPF 15 ini jadi pilihanku untuk dipakai pagi/siang hari, karena ringan dan cepat meresap serta ada SPFnya, walaupun cuma 15 ya. Untuk di Bali dan siang hari nyetir itu pun minim SPF 30 lah baru lebih nampol. Tapi kalau cuacanya panas banget, aku bakal pakai sunblock khusus yang SPF 50.

Warna lotionnya oranye muda, lucu sih karena aku jarang nemu lotion dengan warna seperti ini. Wanginya enak, fresh dan fruity tapi bukan yang manis dan bikin eneg, aku paling ga suka sama tipikal wangi-wangian macem begitu rasanya bikin mabok aja.

Teksturnya seperti yang kubilang, ringan dan cepat meresap terus gak lengket juga, cocok banget buat dipakai siang hari. Definitely on my repurchase list!

Sensatia Botanicals Vanilla & Mandarin Body Milk

Body Milk???

Istilah ini mungkin jarang yang pernah denger, produk lokal jarang banget bikin Body Milk. Sensatia Botanicals punya body lotion dan body milk. Keduanya sama-sama enak, namun untuk Body Milk ini yang bikin beda adalah di konsistensinya. Body Milk ini bukan susu ya, hanya saja karena teksturnya lebih encer dan warnanya tetap seperti lotion pada umumnya makanya namanya Body Milk.

Aku suka pakai ini kalau indoor atau malam hari. Kulitku jarang sampai kering banget, makanya Body Milk ini sudah cukup memenuhi kebutuhanku. Teksturnya ringan, cair dan mudah meresap (lebih ringan daripada Body Lotion). Wanginya ada macam-macam, kebetulan punyaku yang Vanilla & Mandarin, jadi wanginya sedikit manis dan ada aroma rempahnya tapi cukup enak.

Karena teksturnya ringan, pakai sedikit aja sudah cukup untuk tangan dan kaki jadinya produknya cukup awet dan lama baru habis. Kalau untuk dipakai siang hari, teksturnya ini enak banget karena benar-benar ga lengket, cuma karena tidak ada SPFnya jadinya lebih milih yang ada SPF aja demi perlindungan terhadap kulit.

Kelihatan kan bedanya body lotion sama body milk, yang body milk lebih encer dan ringan, my fave texture, cocok banget buat di Bali yang super panas dan lengket ini.

Yes, ini pilihanku, memang ga terlalu banyak karena aku tipe yang sudah habis baru beli lagi (hal ini hanya berlaku untuk produk tertentu). Beda dengan body wash dan scrub, entah kenapa kok suka ngumpulinnya, bahagia kalau banyak pilihan waktu mandi. Hihihi... 

Kalau kalian ada saran, ide, atau rekomen Body Lotion lain yang enak, ringan, ga lengket untuk cuaca tropis, info ya di komen. Cek juga postingan dari Cathlene Wenas untuk body lotion andalannya.

Produk lokal sekarang semakin ramai dan banyak yang patut ditoleh karena kualitasnya bagus-bagus dan gak kalah sama produk luar, harganya juga terjangkau dan relatif mudah didapat. Aku sering coba produk-produk lokal dan lebih prefer yang alami dan organik. Selain aman di kulit, mostly mereka juga aman untuk bumil dan busui.

Dari banyak produk yang aku coba, aku mau merekomendasikan beberapa brand skincare lokal alami terbaik yang wajib banget kamu coba karena memang mereka worth to try!

Utama Spice



Brand lokal Bali ini sudah lama eksis dan yang paling aku tau lebih dulu dibanding brand lainnya. Ownernya super humble dan ramah, dan aku sudah banyak cobain produk-produk mereka, so far suka dan cocok-cocok aja. Dari Utama Spice inilah aku pertama kali mengenal macam-macam essential oil dan kegunaannya, still my fave til now! Essential oilnya bagus dan jenisnya banyakkkk banget, selain itu harganya masih jauh lebih terjangkau dibanding merek lainnya.

Favoritku yang mint dan lemon, super segar dan banyak banget kegunaannya terutama kalau sakit bapil, hajar deh pakai ini enak banget rasanya. Kalau lagi pusing atau capek juga, tinggal dimasukkan ke diffuser aja. Produk lainnya yang pernah aku coba bisa kamu baca reviewnya juga. Produk mereka juga sudah BPOM semua jadi no worries deh.

Sensatia Botanicals

Aku uda cukup lama kenal dengan brand ini, beberapa tahun lalu buka di beberapa mall di Bali dan aku langsung penasaran dan beli beberapa produknya. Ga lama kemudian, aku dapet kesempatan review produk mereka banyak banget from head to toe dan so recommended! They are much better now, banyak formulanya yang diimprove jadi lebih oke dibanding yang dulu. Kemasannya juga lebih elegan sekarang. Walaupun mereka produk lokal dan asalnya dari Bali, tapi cara produksi mereka sudah canggih dan BPOM standard loh. Aku pernah mengunjungi pabrik mereka di Karangasem dan wow-ed dengan prosesnya. Review Sensatia Botanicals di blogku bisa kamu baca disini. 

Dari banyak produk yang sudah aku coba, aku suka banget dengan produk muka dan badannya. Favoritku adalah facial wash, cream cleanser, face mask, face scrub, lip balm, dan body lotion. Rata-rata hampir suka semua sih.

Tiff Body & Sacre Skin

Ini juga salah satu produk lokal yang booming banget di Instagram terutama si lip balm dan lip scrubnya. Tiff Body dan Sacre Skin ini macem saudaraan gitu deh karena produk yang dijual literally sama dan saling jualin satu sama lain, dianjurkan juga dipakai bareng.

Aku tertarik awalnya nyobain si Nat's Oatclay Mask karena punya jerawat membandel di dagu yang tak kunjung hilang, dan the bestnya sih kalau dikombinasiin sama si Rose Tonernya si Sacre Skin ini. Akhirnya aku cobain dan cukup puas sama hasilnya sampai repurchase lagi. Jerawatku jadi lebih cepat kering dan kempes, tonernya juga bikin kulit adem banget, aku jadi suka banget pakai tonernya hampir setiap hari karena wanginya mawar banget dan bikin kulit jadi fresh serta lembab. Produk mereka belum ada BPOM tapi karena bahannya natural semua dan sudah banyak testinya jadinya aku berani coba deh.

The Bath Box

Hii! How are you? Today is the last day of 2016. How do you feel? I'm having a tough time this year, and I hope everything will be going well next year. Pray and hope for the best.

If you already seen my instagram, last week I and fellow beauty bloggers from Bali held our first gathering. We met few years ago when we were still young *lol (but still young now, though), it was only like 6 to 10 people back then.  Now we have more than 20 members and 17 of us could make it to the gathering. \(^_^)/

Who can feel the holiday season here? Christmas and New Year are coming. More festive and especially sale is going to celebrate the holiday season. 

Hi guys, as you have already known about this, the super late Althea box which supposed to be arrived around July but it's just arrived last month and came with normal box rather than Birthday box. It's a sad moment for all Altheans in Indonesia including me, felt like getting breakup with your loved one.

However, I still belonged to the lucky one because not all my friends can receive theirs. I'm so grateful yet feel super sad because this might be my last box from Althea. They can't enter Indonesia because of this ridiculous regulations for cosmetics. Urghhhh...! >_<

Despite all my disappointment, I wanna share to you what I got from Althea and give mini review about the products. I got many skincare rather than makeup, checkout my last Althea box too here. For makeup I only picked an eyeliner, while for skin and hair care I picked cooling hair pack, face scrub, nose pack and face mask.

I have two liquid pen eye liner from Dolly wink and K-palette which I adore them so much. They're really good and long lasting, the price is expensive tho, but it's worth the quality. But... they're just ran out at almost the same time, super sad. So glad that I bought this before that happened. 

This has a nice brush, easy to make liner with that, the color is black and color's payoff is great. It's also smudgeproof (hard to removed after it dries) but it's NOT WATERPROOF, it goes away as soon as I rub it under the water. Sigh.. too bad it's not waterproof, I always need something that's waterproof because I get teary easily.

I wanted to try this product since a while ago since hair pack sounded great for the scalp. Finally I decided to get this Nature Republic Natural Olive Scalp Cooling Hair Pack. It has plastic olive-green jar and looks like body scrub or mask jar.

Super cute olive watercolor sketch on the top of the jar. It's a twist cap so I need to open it everytime I wanna use it, I think it's better if it comes in a tube, easier to use.

That's all my (last) haul from Althea. I really hope, wish, dream and pray for Althea so they can make it to Indonesia again. I hope you like my haul and let me know if you have any questions regarding the products. Overall, I'm pleased with the products I get. Are you more a skincare person or a makeup person? Just a rambling question, lol. Don't forget to comment.. Xoxo.
