TESTER KOREA

Recently I bought beauty stuffs through an online shop (web) called TESTER KOREA. Surprisingly my items arrived quite fast and I'm very very SATISFIED! Thus, here I am posting in the middle of the night to share it with you guys~

HUGE BOX!

Nicely wrapped~

Neat~

PACKAGING:

Didn't really expect the box to arrive in a huge box since I only bought 3 small stuffs. So I was kinda excited when it arrived. Bigger is more "shiok" (exciting?) la konon. Despite the fact that I'm fully aware that they wouldn't put something else beside what I ordered...LOLOLOL! Maybe that's the standard box size they have for 500g items.

ANYWAY...

I'm really happy with the packaging! First of all...the BOX! It's HUGE  STURDY! Hmm...at least strong enough la in my opinion. Dunno I should praise the one who pack them or praise the shipping company for their excellent handling skills. Coz seriously there's no dent on my box~ So yeah...HAPPY!

Next...the inner part! You see those bubble wrap? They're generous with it! Looking at its condition also makes me smile. So neatly packed! Plus that "round Styrofoam" looks so cute! Although I feel as if that they're a "waste of money"...LOLOLOLOL...but they adds to the overall experience of opening the box. It makes the box to look "fuller".

Overall I'm HAPPY...I repeat...HAPPY with the packaging and handling of items~ 

Items that I bought

Didn't really buy much coz it was my first purchase with them. It's always my kind of thing to try before going deciding whether to trust an online shop or not. And currently I'm going towards positive!

FREEBIES

Testers that they gave out

FREEBIES:

They come in sample size...pretty generous I'd say. Got 4 samples for my purchase of USD40++...So it's like you get 1 sample for every USD10? Shall see if my deduction is correct. Currently making another purchase with them...So yeah...hahaha...

On a side note, I like that tiny details like the stickers attached on the plastic. Though if I can be more picky, it'd be better if there's something written in handwriting. Like the one I ever received from some online shop. Though of course it wasn't a must...that would be a sweet gesture in my opinion~

TRACKING

DELIVERY:

Delivery wise, I'd recommend using e-Cargo which was available for Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. Why? Coz my last purchase was shipped through them and I got them safely on my hand. So of course I would recommend them. And remember the packaging? Not a single dent was found on the box one lehhh!! Why so perfect one???!!

Shipping wise it was FAST! Considering that most online shops in Indonesia is Pre Order (PO) based and took around 1 month for them to reach us. So far Tester Korea is the best option for buying Korean Beauty product if you're living in Indonesia and wants your items to arrive faster than most online shops! If you know any other online shops that's better, do let me know so that I can give them a try too~

Here's the timeline: I made my purchase on 26th of March (late night), paid on the same day, got my items ready for shipping on 30th of March and finally received them on 7th of April! Fast weh!!

PRODUCTS:

As for the products itself, they claimed that they sell only original products. As I'm no expert in determining whether a product is original or fake, so I live by trust alone...HAHAHA~ //Slapped

So far there's no bad review on the company...so it's still worth to give it a shot la.

I believe that the no. 1 buying decision factor is the originality of the product. 2nd is for the item to arrive safely and 3rd is shipping time. Since they can satisfy the 3 needs I expect from an online shop, thus I am fully satisfied and would love to buy from them again. In fact I've made my 2nd purchase earlier today...hahaha...

Sadly there's no promo code or such. So I can't really share them to you. But price wise they're reasonable and so far offers the best price I've ever come across with. Even falls to the cheaper side compared to most online shops. Shipped directly from Korea some more...So yeah...you decide for yourself! 

Good night and happy weekend!

THE BODY SHOP SEAWEED DEEP CLEANSING FACIAL WASH

After watching Meejmuse's video (many months ago), I decided to try THE BODY SHOP SEAWEED DEEP CLEANSING FACIAL WASH. First of all, I quite like the design of the tube la. It's simple...plus I love the colour! Indeed it's the colour that got me attracted to it~ Somehow it looks CONVINCING! So I don't really think twice to purchase them. Hahaha!

Front view

ABOUT THE PRODUCT:

The Body Shop® difference: Our wild-harvested seaweed, which comes from our fabulous Community Trade partner in Ireland, is an incredibly nutritive sea vegetable that has been a diet stable in Japan and China for thousands of years. Seaweed is packed with vitamins and minerals that are also great for your skin, and because it moisturizes and conditions with zero oils, it is ideal for use on normal to shiny skin. Grown without any chemicals or fertilizers, our seaweed is an entirely natural and sustainable ingredient that re-grows fully within two years.

DESCRIPTION:

A light, oil-free, soap-free gel face cleanser to deeply clean, open pores and remove excess oil, make-ups, and dirt daily. Leaves your skin clean and fresh.

HOW TO USE:

Wet face and apply with fingertips. Lather up, then rinse away with clean water.

I personally think that this cleanser did a good job. It leaves the face feeling clean without drying or tightens the skin. And thanks to Menthol added into the ingredients, it's refreshing!

Scent wise, it was good! One word...FRESH! I really love the smell a LOT! How should I describe it...most probably that smell that usually labelled as "ocean" scent when you're buying fragrance related items...lolololol.

Back View

INGREDIENTS:
Aqua/Water/Eau (Solvent/Diluent), Sodium Laureth Sulfate (Surfactant), Polysorbate 20 (Emulsifier), PEG-150 Distearate (Surfactant), Cocamidopropyl Betaine (Surfactant), Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate (Surfactant), Sodium Cocoamphoacetate (Surfactant), Sodium Chloride (Viscosity Modifier), Propylene Glycol (Humectant), Phenoxyethanol (Preservative), Sodium Benzoate (Preservative), Parfum/Fragrance (Fragrance), Citric Acid (pH Adjuster), Butylene Glycol (Humectant), Menthol (Fragrance/Cooling Agent), Disodium EDTA (Chelating Agent), Fucus Vesiculosus Extract (Skin Conditioning Agent), Linalool (Fragrance Ingredient), Butylphenyl Methylpropional (Fragrance Ingredient), Benzyl Alcohol (Preservative), Benzyl Salicylate (Fragrance Ingredient), Chondrus Crispus Extract/Chondrus Crispus (Carrageenan) Extract (Skin Conditioning Agent), Tocopherol (Antioxidant).

Am so glad that there's no Methylparaben and Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS). But there's Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES)...so yeah...*sobs* (Do let me know if there are other bad ingredients listed on the list above...since I don't really know much about chemicals)

Tube caps

PACKAGING:

I dunno if all of the packaging (caps) are the same. But I kinda dislike the top part. It's hard to close the cap after each use. I need to use extra power to close it. It's "tight"! Bought two tubes of this cleanser and both of them are the same...On positive side, it won't easily self-open when you bring them for travelling la...*coughs*

GEL TEXTURE
Excuse my dry hand due to my incompatibility with Biore Body Foam "Sweet Peach"...they dry le skin so badly~~

TEXTURE:

Gel (going towards watery I'd say). Blame myself who is a reincarnation of Xena the Warrior Princess is "too powerful"...so I press hard and tend to get more gels than needed. Which of course leads to shortage alert in no time! It finished faster than it supposed to lasts for! OTL

PRICE:

Bought them for IDR139k each at THE BODY SHOP store in Mall Kelapa Gading.

REPURCHASE:

Yes...Definitely on my buying list if I'm not trying other cleansers or using previous cleansers that I love. It's one of the few that doesn't break out on me. Plus it smells good, refreshing and not drying~

To close this post I'm gonna share you Meejmuse's video that I watched before buying this particular cleanser. Do subscribe to her! She's so lovely! Plus her videos are fun and informative~ :D

Have a nice day!!

[J-DRAMA] FRAGILE

When I first saw Tomoya Nagase name on the main lead section, I wanted to watch it right away!! Been his fans ever since I watched "My Boss My Hero" (Highly recommended if you enjoy watching comedy drama). Not to forget there's Emi Takei as the female lead. I think most of you already know her if you've watched Samurai X Live Action. She's the main female lead there.

Fragile

フラジャイル

Tomoya Nagase as Keiichiro Kishi

Emi Takei as Chihiro Miyazaki

I just realized that this drama is adapted from a manga too! Found out about it from ASIANWIKI. So perhaps if you wanted to know more about this drama you can try reading its manga~

フラジャイル～病理医岸京一郎の所見～

Fragile - Byourii Kishi Keiichirou no Shoken

Fragile - The View of Keiichirou Kishi, a Pathologist

This drama right here is about a man called Keiichiro Kishi (Tomoya Nagase) who is an excellent Pathologist and a Neurologist Chihiro Miyazaki (Emi Takei) who later on decided to transfer to Pathology Department. The storyline resolves around these two solving different cases and making diagnosis. 

Personally I feel that Tomoya Nagase looked really cool in this drama! Just imagine of having so much probabilities and yet, he alone managed to make accurate diagnosis even without meeting the patients. Merely by examining tissues on a microscope you see! I think that it is awesome! Thinking of the great amount of pressure he must have felt as it has to do with life and death...I just can't imagine being in his shoe...HAHA...That person must be someone who possessed a great amount of wisdom, great observation skills as well as enormous amount self confident!

Yes...Yes...Yes...A Pathologist is a physician who observes all these tissues, check on the accuracy of lab tests and interprets the results in order to facilitate the patient's diagnosis and treatment.

On a contrary, while a Pathologist are able to tell sickness from looking at the cells above, I can only spot a few "face" on the last picture...LOLOLOL!! //slapped

There's Koyuki too in this drama! If you're a fans of her you should watch this~ Long time didn't see her in any drama that I've watched. She still look stunning as usual.

Overall I like the filming style and the colours used. It adds to the overall mood of a medical drama. Hehehe...Interesting casts too! Definitely worth to watch. A plus if you enjoy medical drama! Though you must be patience as this drama is pretty new. So only an episode will be released per week.

As I cannot find the trailer on Youtube, so I'm just gonna share any video related to this drama...*coughs*

Update (26 JAN 2016):

Unfortunately the video that I shared here also gone within a few days of posting it here...So yeah...please search for them on Youtube, I gave up...HAHAHA...Somehow videos with Johnny's Entertainment boys are hard to find...keep missing on Youtube one! D:

Indonesian Songs That I Love ATM

Nah memandangkan keliatannya kurang banyak yg ngepost tentang lagu2 Indonesia, maka gw bakalan nge-share beberapa lagu yang gw suka denger...Hehehe. Semoga ada yang berkenan di hati~

Since it seemed like there's less people posting about Indonesian songs, therefore I'll be sharing some of the songs that I like...Hehehe. Hopefully some of them would suit your taste~

RAN - Dekat Di Hati

Sammy Simorangkir - Kaulah Segalanya

Sammy Simorangkir - Sedang Apa Dan Dimana

Adera - Lebih Indah

Kunto Aji - Terlalu Lama Sendiri

Tulus - 1000 Tahun Lamanya

Isyana Sarasvati - Keep Being You

Isyana Sarasvati - Tetap Dalam Jiwa

Cakra Khan - Harus Terpisah

Afgan - Jodoh Pasti Bertemu

Walau beberapa MV-nya kurang ok. Tapi tidak bisa dipungkiri bahwa lagu-lagunya pada bagus-bagus semua! Suaranya juga special dan pas dihati gw. HAHAHA~ Plus baru sadar abis nulis ini bahwa gw kayanya lebih suka lagu2 Indonesia yg slow-slow sedih-sedih gimana gitu. //geplak

Although some of the MV aren't that good, But it can't be denied that their songs are all good! Their voice are special and suit my taste. HAHAHA~ Plus I've just realized that I tend to like Indonesian songs which are slow and mellow. //slapped

Untuk penutup gw bakalan share satu lagu yang bisa dibilang agak beda dari lagu-lagu yang udah gw share diatas. Tidak...Bukan dangdut yang identik dengan Indonesia karena gw ga begitu suka dangdut. Kecuali beberapa yang lagu dangdut yang lirik ato musiknya bikin ketagihan. LOL!

(p/s: Kalo mau coba ngedengerin lagu dangdut,  maka bisa dicoba Perawan atau Janda milik Cita Citata, Sakitnya Tuh Disini juga dinyanyiin sama Cita Citata, Atau Sambalado yang dinyanyiin sama Ayu Ting Ting. Ketiga lagu ini merupakan lagu kesukaan temen sekantor gw...hahaha) 

To end the post I'm gonna share a song which can be said that it's a little bit different compared to the songs I've shared above. Nope...Not "dangdut" which is identical with Indonesia because I'm not that into "dangdut". Except for some songs which lyric or music are addictive. LOL!

(p/s: If you want to try listening to "dangdut" songs, you can try Perawan atau Janda by Cita Citata, Sakitnya Tuh Disini also by her, or Sambalado which was sang by Ayu Ting Ting. All three were my colleagues' favourite...LOL!)

Ok...udah mau bobo. Langsung aja ke lagu terakhir...

Ok...I wanna sleep. Lets head straight to our last song...

Syahrini - Seperti Itu?

Sekian...selamat malem semuanya!

That's all...good night everybody!

Sawatdee Ka Bangkok! (Day Four - PART ONE)

For weekend, we planned to visit Amphawa Floating. However the transport to go to Amphawa Floating Market was quite expensive (Car rental service). Plus the hotel staff told us that the journey to go there would take around 1.5 - 2 hours to reach. So we'll be wasting around 3-4 hours on the road itself...After a short silence (deep in thoughts laaa...hahaha), we decided to skip Amphawa!

Chatuchak Weekend Market off we go!!~

As to safe money and to experience tourist life, we walked all the way to the nearest BTS station. Pretty fun but be sure to wear comfy shoes or slippers ok!

Upon reaching Chatuchak, we went to have our "lunch". It's located right outside of Chatuchak...Lots of food place there for you to choose from. One thing that I noticed from my BKK trip is that it feels like everywhere also serve niceeee chicken rice!! Though there's one shop that I particularly like! I'd post them if I've not forgotten about them...LOLOLOL!!!

The picture above was the only picture I took for the inner part of Chatuchak. HAHAHAHA!! The weather was SCORCHING HOT that my face got sunburn. Omega red ok plus oily face...want hide also cannot...TROLOLOLOL! Blame self for not using any sunblock. So yes...please wear/use whatever is needed to survive the hot hot weather! Or else you'd be red faced freak who sweat too much till you're too lazy to take pictures or shop. :')

Bought 2 shirt for bro, 2 shirt for me, an eco bag plus a ring. Price was ok. Not super cheap but cheaper. I think it would be heaven for those who earn dollar, etc. Not to forget the materials were good if you are good at choosing them. Personally I prefer this place to shop for clothes than Platinum Mall. They have varieties of styles to cater your needs! You can even spot unique items~

Just remember to have water to keep yourself hydrated and enjoy checking the stores one by one!

Oh! One more thing! You have to try their coconut ice cream which I think is some kind of a must-try in Chatuchak. Apparently we keep seeing this coconut ice cream while we were researching about BKK on people's blog. So we were so eager to give it a try ourselves. Hahaha...

The funny thing is that we don't really know its exact location. So instead we just observe other people who were carrying these coconut bowl...HAHAHA. The unique thing about this stall is that they have this little flag with beach and coconut image on it. Plus their fb and insta name printed on it. It's called Coconuticecreamjj.

The queue was quite long compared to the other store. Here you can choose up to 3 toppings! Nothing much to comment on the taste as I think it's pretty normal. It was good but not to the point until you're craving to have it daily. But indeed I LOVE LOVE LOVE how they gave out the coconut water!! Each people who ordered were given fresh coconut water! So tasty!!! :D
