Free Hotel to stay! Who doesn't want it! But it is real and I have tried it. It's very useful and saves my money when travelling. What you need is only smart phone and credit card.

Nginap di hotel gratis! Siapa sih yang ga mau! Tapi ini beneran dan sudah dibuktikan sendiri. Berguna banget dan hemat uang pas lagi jalan-jalan. Yang kamu perlukan cuma smart phone dan credit card.

The answer is Hotel Quickly. It is an application you can download on your smart phone via Google Play or Apple Store. If you ever heard or used Agoda/Booking app, this one is similar, but there is a reason why they named it Quickly because it can only be used to book a room for today or tomorrow with maximum 5 nights. The area is also limited, only for Asia and Australia. (The screen capture is using IOS so it might be a bit different if you're using Android)

Jawabannya adalah Hotel Quickly. Aplikasi yang bisa didownload di smart phone via Google Play atau Apple Store. Kalau kamu pernah menggunakan aplikasi Agoda/Booking, yang ini juga sejenisnya, tapi ada alasan kenapa namanya Quickly soalnya aplikasi ini cuma bisa digunakan untuk booking kamar pada hari ini atau besok dengan maksimum 5 malam. Areanya juga terbatas, hanya di sekitar Asia dan Australia saja. (Screen capture menggunakan IOS jadi mungkin sedikit berbeda dengan Android)

KLAIRS is really good for sensitive skin because it has no paraben, no animal testing, alcohol free and eco friendly so all of their products are mostly almost no scent, if there's fragrance, it's much much lesser than other products I've tried.

If you haven't known about Wishtrend yet, it is a shopping website for Korean beauty products (mostly skincare) and they provide worldwide shipping and sometimes with free promotion. They gave many samples on each order which is great ^_^. I love their customer service because they are friendly and fast!

This will be great for sensitive dry skin with this uncertain weather (unpredictable sun and rain), and also for those who has winter. I have tried the cream and it works great on my normal dry skin (read my review here). I can say if you have dull, tired, dry skin, this is your savior! 

Bonus for you!

Description
What is Vegetal Placenta?

Vegetal Placenta or Plant placenta is the natural substance found under the pistil of flowers. Plant placenta has an extraordinary regenerating of nourishing fruits when they are formed. The anti-aging skincare product as well as anti-aging nutritional supplements are made with the vegetal placentas which are non-genetically modified plants including legumes, soybean, beech buds and etc. We are using soybean which is rich in amino acids, protein, peptides, mineral salts and soluble sugars and etc. These amino acids share the rejuvenating effects on skin that animal placenta offers. They stimulate the skin’s natural turn-over of cells and the synthesizing of collagen. A good collagen matrix in the skin is what holds skin together and prevents wrinkles and sags from occurring. These are the natural base for skin youth.

Importantly, dermatology testing has been done on plant placenta that shows a lot of promise. In a study out of Croix Rousse Hospital in Lyons, France, researchers found that plant placenta significantly improved dry, flaky, wrinkled skin from illness or aging; stimulated hair follicles to grow new hair; and exhibited a high tolerance to its use.Their research also showed that skin cells uptake of oxygen increased 70% with the plant placenta.


What are Benefits of Vegetal Plant Placenta Skincare Products?

Following is the list of benefits that are considered to be provided by the anti-aging skin care products made with vegetal plant placenta.
- Skin regeneration

Have you ever heard about Benton? It's Korean brand which famous for its skincare such as aloe and snail bee series. I was curious about this brand and so lucky, Jolse gave me a chance to try one of Benton products, the aloe toner.

Jolse is an online shopping website for Korean cosmetics and skincare, based in Korea. What I like is they provide free international shipping with no minimum order for standard shipping (without tracking no) and $2,5 only with tracking no. They also give many samples to try. The price is still affordable and there are many Korean brands that are hard to find else where.

Description

* Recommended for skin with dead skin cell issue, sensitive skin, troubled skin, dry skin, oily skin, skin that requires minimum oil, skin that is sensitive to chemical substances.

* Please note its bottle design has been change from 'spray' type to 'normal bottle' type because of defect of nozzle

Packaging

Dark green plastic bottle with black cap. Nothing's special about the packaging. It's a bit transparent so we can see the liquid inside, but don't worry the liquid isn't green ^_^.

The description and how to use in English is attached and printed in another paper. There are two ways to use it. First is pouring it into your palm and pat your face thoroughly. Second is using cotton pad and wipe your face. The second method is my favorite because it absorbs faster even though some says that it is more wasting than the first method.

The original one is all in Korean except for the ingredients. Wish they printed it in English too like other famous Korean brands. At the bottom there is production code, date and expired date. It is very new because it is produced in September 2014, and expired in September 2016. So the normal skincare shelf time is 2 years, but I definitely will empty this bottle before it.

The hole is medium, not too small or big. Because it is not so watery so it is the right size. 

Texture

The texture is watery and transparent (just like water but denser), not as runny as Secret Key STE. Because it's denser, so I just need a little bit to cover my whole face. It is a bit sticky at first and needs time to absorb.

As you can see, it is a bit slimey (if too much) and needs time to be absorbed perfectly. I think because there is no alcohol in it so it takes longer time because toner which contains alcohol usually dries faster. Make sure you don't put too much before using moisturizer. A little goes a long way for this toner.

Scent

No stingy scent or artificial scent in this toner. It's just smells natural, like soft herbs but very soft like there is almost no scent. Very good for people who sensitive with perfumed skin care.

Review

Good thing is there is no alcohol in it so there won't be any stingy sensation if you're sensitive to alcohol and it's not as drying as other alcohol toner. That's why it feels a bit sticky and need more time to be absorbed.

I live in Bali with tropical humid weather which is super hot (mostly around 30 degrees celcius), so I prefer to use this toner at night because it is moisturizing. If I use it for day, it is always lesser amount than the night, and I prefer method using cotton pad.

A week ago, because of the hot weather, my skin got itchy (especially on face and it felt terrible). I put this on my itchy skin with cotton pad for a few minutes and it helps a lot, the redness and the itchy sensation is almost gone. Because it is aloe so it has good soothing properties for the skin.

Pros:

+ No alcohol, paraben, color, perfume

+ Good for sensitive skin

+ Soothing effect for sensitive and troubled skin

+ A little goes a long way

+ Moisturizing

Cons:

- A little bit sticky at first

- Packaging is so so 

Conclusion:

I say, it is a nice toner, suitable for sensitive and troubled skin. I like it because it has no alcohol and dangerous things in it so it is natural and safer. The price is still affordable, medium price, and will last for sometime. The soothing effect works good on itched skin and maybe pimples (from other reviews), I haven't got pimples until now so I haven't tested it yet.

It's been a long time I wanted red lip tint. Haven't had one before, and lucky me I got one from The Balm Indonesia. This is the best lip tint I've ever had and since I don't have many before. Check it out!

Description

Stainiac “hint of tint” works with all skin tones. Dab just a touch on your Cheeks and Lips; layer to pop the color. Fear not those dreaded streaks most tints leave behind - Stainiac’s aloe-infused gel-based formula is designed to give you more time before the stain sets.

How to use

Dab this stain on your cheeks and blend with your fingers. Use the wand to apply to your lips. Layer to build color.

Price

$17

Sounds very promising, I like the idea that it gives more time before it sets rather than makes my lips look like bleeding which usually happens with quick drying tint. And because it gel based, it should be more moisturizing.

It comes in a carton box, usual packaging, but it's colorful like The Balm, as always. It's retro and pop art like western comic style. The stain itself is made from transparent plastic and silver cap. Not really a cute one but it's simple. 

The wand is slanted like other lip tints, perfect shape for lips. But I still like using finger for the finishing touch because it's more natural that way.

The formula is amazing. It doesn't bleed or leaked into lip lines because it is aloe based gel which is more moisturizing and gives more time before it dries. 

Stainiac has 3 colors: Homecoming Queen (Orange), Beauty Queen (Magenta/Pink) and Prom Queen (Red). This one is the best selling one. It looks red but the color is magenta pink. The color is buildable, we can layer it until the color we want.

It's quiet long lasting even after drinking and eating. Once it settled, it's a bit hard to be removed, so use make up remover to clean it properly. Good thing is, it doesn't leave my lips look like bleeding. To look best, I like to use lip balm on the top of it, juicy lips is mine!

On cheek, I like to apply 2 layers because 1 layer is still invisible for my cheek. It gives a flush and fresh look without too much color.

Pros:

+ Moisturizing

+ Gives more time to apply because it dries longer than other tint

+ Has 3 color choices

+ Long lasting

Cons:

- Packaging is very common but not a big deal

- A bit pricey

Overall:

It's a bit pricier than Asian lip tint, but I bet it worth the price because it's different. The formula is moist yet long lasting and settled nicely. Really recommended for those who just learn to use lip tint because it gives more time before it sets. Other than that, it's useful because it can also be used for cheek too. I always love 2 in 1 product.
