P.A.C Merak Kasmaran

I purchased the PAC Cantika Jawa Timur 2009 Color Trend. The trio is called Merak Kasmaran, which means Peacock in Love. This is a trio shadow palette – golden yellow, deep purple and teal. The colors aren’t so peacock-y, considering that there’s a lot of blue, green, yellow and bronze in peacock’s feathers, but it’s quite pretty. I bought this for IDR 48,000 at Martha Tilaar store in Pluit Village Mall.

I’m not too crazy how this ended up, but I had to post it! I’m lacking in posts since I’ve been busy going on adventures with Liz. So, I’m so sorry if I’m going missing for couple more weeks. Follow me on Instagram for updates.

How-to

1. I applied the purple eyeshadow from PAC Merak Kasmaran all over my lid using a flat eyeshadow brush.

2. Using a medium brown eyeshadow (no-name brand, a gift from working at the IMATS booth couple years back) and a small brush, I applied the shadow on the crease.

3. I used a shader brush and blended the edge of the crease.

4. I also applied MAC Swiss Chocolate on the outer V.

5. Using a clean flat eyeshadow brush, I applied the gold yellow shadow from PAC Merak Kasmaran on the inner corner of the lid.

6. I applied the Teal shadow from PAC Merak Kasmaran on the lower lid using an angled eyebrow brush.

7. I lined my waterline and tightline using MUFE Aqua liner in black.

8. Using the same eyeliner, I created winged/cat-eye liner along the upper lash line.

9. I curled my lashes and applied Maybelline Express Volume mascara on the upper and lower lashes.

10. I wanted to try out a new set of falsies I bought in Japan, so I applied Fleur Fleur in 201. I had to cut the ends since they were too long. I know they were purposely made long to give a droopy eye effect, but me no like that effect and thus I cut it.

11. I filled my brows using MUFE Aqua Brow Gel.

12. For the face, I applied UD Naked foundation using a foundation brush.

13. I applied MUFE HD Concealer under the eyes.

14. I also applied MAC Cubic blush on the cheeks, and Sephora Hello Kitty lipstick in Peach.

ps: I felt like the crease on my right eye (left in photo) is a bit unblended for some reason, which probably is because I was rushing, so please ignore that. I was rushing to go out after the tutorial.

Product of the Week: Sariayu K. Karimunjawa

This week in Product of the Week installment, I’m presenting another Sariayu eyeshadows! I’m loving this Indonesian makeup brand so much. It’s affordable, pigmented and widely available. Martha Tilaar’s other brand, which is P.A.C is actually designed for makeup artist, but I find that Sariayu (also by Martha Tilaar) has the same quality as P.A.C eyeshadows. I also love the fact that Sariayu products are not tested animals!

Anyways, let’s talk about this trio palette! This palette is called K. Karimunjawa, and it’s one of the latest products from Sariayu latest collection – Sariayu Trend Warna 2013 Pesisir Sentrajava. I bought mine in a Martha Tilaar store in the malls for IDR Rp. 45,000 (about USD $4.50). If I’m not wrong, when I went to Carrefour on the weekend, they were selling this at IDR Rp. 38,500.

The inspiration of the Karimunjawa palette comes from the Northern coast of Central Java, whereby there’s 27 little islands of Karimunjawa with the brightest ocean. Karimunjawa is a great home of the beautiful coral reefs. A place for almost 400 oceanic species, including 242 ornamental fishes that live there. As a National Park, Karimunjawa has developed and becomes a Marine Park attraction for both local and international tourists (Martha Tilaar Group, 2013).

The colors are amazingly pigmented, and easily blendable. All the colors have shimmers in them, but I do find that the yellow isn’t as shimmery as the green or the purple. The purple might look dark in pictures, but it’s not that dark when you apply it to the skin. The consistency is very buttery. I find it very easy to blend the colors without having to lose the intensity.

I’ve done a tutorial using this palette in my Northern Lights post. I’ve received a lot of compliments on that look. A lot of people seems to like the yellow eyeshadow since it pops out a lot in pictures.

In general, the color combination works and I think this is an awesome palette, especially for the price that I bought it at.

Of course, there’s more than just this shadow from Sariayu trend warna 2013. With the Karimunjawa line, they also carried 2 lip products and a Glow Powder which I did not buy. On their website, they also show the 3 different ways to wear the Karimunjawa trio shadow palette, so do check them out!

Will I buy this product again? Most definitely! I love all 3 colors and for that price, of course I’ll buy it again. I give this palette 5 winks out of 5! I have yet to find something that I don’t like from it. I love love love love it!

Product of The Week – Sariayu Eyeshadow Palette

This week I’m proud to present a local Indonesian brand as my Product of the Week. Being in Indonesia, I’ve find it to be quite a challenge to find high quality makeup products that are affordable. Most of the products sold here are either high-end brand which cost double the Canadian price, or Asian brands that don’t really have a good pigment pay-off.

I scoured high and low for a local brand, and found one which is very well-known in Indonesia is Martha Tilaar. Martha Tilaar is an Indonesian business-woman who started off her career in the cosmetics and “jamu” (herbs) industries under the name Sariayu. She started her career and business since 1977. The name Martha Tilaar is like equivalent to Estee Lauder here in Indonesia.

Last year, when I was just window shopping in one of the malls in Jakarta, I stepped inside a store and found this beautiful 25 eyeshadow palette by Sariayu. I ~~bought it for Rp.500,000-ish (about USD$50)~~ You can buy this palette for Rp. 175,000 – Rp. 200,000 (usd$20) instead of the 500k…the Rp. 500,000 is for the PAC cream eyeshadow palette! My mistake on my note. I bought both palettes on the same time, and I’ve made a wrong note on the price. So sorry! 🙁

The pigments are creamy, smooth and easily blendable. In this 25-eyeshadow palette, you get 2 cream-based eyeshadow (silver and bronze) and 23 amazing eyeshadows. The eyeshadows are shimmery and very pigmented.

I’ve used this palette for a tutorial called Bright and Bold. You can use it dry and wet.

The palette also comes with 2 eyeshadow applicators. One side to apply eyeshadow (sponge-tip) and the other side to blend. If I’m not mistaken, you can buy these shadows individually in a bigger pot, or you can buy just the individual refills (kinda like M.A.C eyeshadows).
