NEW WEBSITE! @THEVANITYCHAT

Hi Guys,

So excited to announce that I've finally launched my new beauty blog!
I'm hoping to inform and inspire all of my readers everywhere. The blog will feature mainly product reviews (not just US products), beauty inspirations, and interviews.

Follow us on Instagram (@thevanitychat), Twitter, or like us on Facebook to stay updated :)

Love,

Guest of a Guest

I've recently taken an editorial internship at Guest of A Guest. It's a website that covers an eclectic range of topics from society, culture, and the fashion/beauty industry. It will be amazing to see some of my Indonesian readers supporting me by checking out some of the pieces I've written on the site. I've been extremely busy trying to juggle both internship and demanding classes, but hopefully, soon enough, I'll be trying to relaunch my own projects.

Eye Language

Often case, they say to speak with your eyes - they provide a channel for connection, acknowledgement, and possibly even intimacy. 

The point is, you better prep your eyes before they speak. 

I usually start my day with outlining my under-eye with a non-glittery brown eye shadow (from Stila), just to give the illusion that it is wide awake for the day. Afterwards, if I'm feeling lazy, I'd skip the cat-eye and just go for a subtle blush glitter eye-shadow (Also from my Stila palette). To top this day-look I'd curl my lashes with Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler then three-four coats of black mascara, top and bottom lashes. Skip the bottom lashes if you want to avoid looking like a manga doll. 

At night, or when I'm going out during the day to meet people, I'd be more daring with the choices I make in terms of color and subtlety. I've recently purchased a beautiful eye-shadow color called "Peacock" from the Ardency Inn collection (available only from Sephora or the Ardency Inn Website). It gives off the look of iridescent-ness with shades of turquoise and slight pink--basically, super funky and cool. I've been using it almost every time I go out; it makes my eyes stand out with its extreme long-lasting pigments, even in the midst of a dark and crowded venue like Pacha. 

The photos above are just some eye makeup inspiration I'd like to share along with some recommendations below:

1. Tom Ford Eye Color Quad

2. Chanel Les 4 Ombres

3. Marc Jacobs Beauty

4. Bobbi Brown Warm Glow 

5. Lancome Color Design 5 Shadow&Liner

Merry Christmas,

Seeking

Hi everyone,

Towards the end of August, I have relocated from Jakarta to New York City after graduating from high school. Right now I'm pursuing my undergraduate studies in the city. Just letting you know, I will be posting more beauty reviews and some pictures that might just inspire your beauty looks (as soon as finals are over). 

For now, enjoy some of these photos from my Instagram account. Feel free to follow me, and if you have a question, you can also personally email me.

Read it all (but later)

I hate bookmarking pages. I will sound spoiled if I say this but it seems to be a long process to save a tab or more. And worse, bookmark features in Google Chrome or Safari have unflattering layout that I cannot follow-through.
Often, when I'm roaming around the internet, I would have ten tabs open for ten multifarious articles (often beauty posts ;) ). Most of the time, I would never get to read any of it because I am procrastinating elsewhere or end up forgetting about it. If your situation is akin to mine, keep on reading.
This is when I recently discover the free application called "Pocket" on iTunes. Pocket allows you to create an account (which take 20 seconds) and it automatically integrates itself into your browsers, your safari app in your iPhone, or other medium you use to surf the net. If you see an article you like but have no time to read it now, you can just pocket it to read it later.
So for the slackers out there, this is my lifeboat for productive reading.
