BB Cream Praktis yang Fantastis

A real story by Melissa Augustina

Sebagai seorang yang memiliki kegiatan yang padat menuntut saya memilih produk yang tepat. Kepraktisan adalah pilihan utama saya, tetapi tentunya saya tidak ingin hasil yang “praktis” yang mana tidak tahan lama dan tidak beradaptasi dengan baik ke kulit saya.

Sejak saya kuliah saya penggemar berat produk-produk The Body Shop terutama rangkaian bodycare yang selalu saya gunakan setiap hari. Ketika saya lulus kuliah dan berkenalan dengan dunia kerja, saya mulai merambahi rangkaian skincare yang dimiliki oleh The Body Shop dan tidak pernah merasakan iritasi maupun ketidakcocokan yang berlebihan kepada produk-produk skincare yang dimiliki The Body Shop yang saya gunakan.

 

Jujur dari awal saya tidak menggunakan rangkaian Moisture White™ Shiso karena saya memiliki warna kulit yang cenderung gelap dan saya menyukai kulit saya yang sawo matang ini maka dari itu saya menjatuhkan pilihan skincare saya ke rangkaian Nutriganics™.

Tetapi karena kejadian yang tidak disengaja ini saya jadi jatuh cinta kepada Moisture White™ Shiso BB Serum Inside. Beberapa minggu yang lalu saya datang ke counter The Body Shop di salah satu mall di Jakarta, hendak membeli beberapa produkThe Body Shop yang biasa saya pergunakan. Ketika itu di meja display saya melihat Moisture White™ Shiso BB Serum Inside ini dipajang, Beauty Advisor datang dan menjelaskan dengan seksama tentang produk terbaru dari The Body Shop ini. Awalnya saya tidak merasa tertarik karena ini termasuk kategori whitening, tetapi ketika saya mencobanya walau hanya setetes ditangan saya nekat membelinya dan apabila memang tidak cocok bisa saya berikan kepada adik saya yang memiliki kulit terang.

Lalu pada pagi hari saya hendak ke kantor, saya menggunakan untuk pertamakalinya Moisture White™ Shiso BB Serum Inside ini. Saya hanya mengeluarkan dua tetes saja dan mem-blend nya dengan satu pump penuh Nutriganics™ Smoothing Day Cream yang biasa saya gunakan standalone saja. Yang bikin makin hepi bb cream ini juga mengandung SPF25+++ sehingga kulit saya dapat terlindungi dari bahaya sinar matahari. Ketika sudah merasa rata saya pun berangkat kerja.

Ketika sampai kantor teman-teman kerja wanita saya berkomentar, “Mel sepertinya lo beda gimana gitu…”

“Beda gimana?” Ujar saya agak bingung.

Mereka juga agak bingung bilangnya “Muka lo beda deh, flawless dan radiant gitu deh…”

“Ah masa sih” sambil ambil kaca dari laci meja. “Eh iya ya… hehehehe…” setelah memperhatikan wajah saya.

“Iya Mel cerah gitu tapi ga kaya pake topeng kok.” Timpal teman saya satu lagi.

“Hehehe… baguslah kalau begitu. Terimakasih atas opininya teman-teman. Berarti gw cocok sama ini produk, ga jadi gue kasi adik gw deh” Saya tertawa lagi.

“Mang lu pake apa sih Mel?” Tanya rekan saya yang lain

Sambil mengeluarkan produk-produk The Body Shop yang selalu ada di tas kerja saya. Dan pas nya saya juga ikut membawa Moisture White™ Shiso BB Serum Inside ini

“Cobain doooonggg…” Jawab mereka semua heboh

Lalu kita semua sepakat mau ke counter The Body Shop terdekat setelah pulang kantor nanti.

Senangnya bisa berbagi rekomendasi dengan teman-teman...

Breathe my Love

Where are you my love?
I search for you night and day...
I look for you everywhere,
but still I can't find you...

Sometimes this heart be filled with love and made me can't breathe,
Just thinking about you and wondering what you do made me felt helpless,
Are you wondering where am I?
Are you staring at the same blue sky as me?



I saw your shadows, but when I ran to catch them, they are gone...
Sometimes the wind brings me your smell
And how I miss it
Like I miss dews that covered my feet on a cool morning

Time goes so slow,
And sometimes I think it cost forever for me to find you
Am I the only one that feels like this?
Or do you also feel the same?

I breathe the air and hoping that I breathe the same air that flows through your nose once,
I pray in my heart and whisper your name,
Wind, please bring my feelings to him.
Though we're thousands miles away from each other,
I believe that love overcomes everything
Somehow, someday, we'll meet each other...

April, 16, on a hot bright day and the clear blue sky outside...

Christmas Holidays

Just wanna to say :

MERRY CHRISTMAS

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Sorry my blog is temporary un-up-to-date. I'm awfully busy these holidays.
See u all in the next prosperous year!!!

GOD bless u!

The Walk

One day, when I was walking along the beach alone

I was overwhelmed by the sea splendour,

It seems that things going around me fastly

But I felt the time stop

It was a month after I throw everything

And decide to take a way that never been travelled

A way that brought me here

After left everything behind...

The walk seems take forever,

But the sun tells me that soon it will end

I breathe the air and smile towards the sunset

"I will end it well," I said to myself.

Let Things Go...

Let go things that I want badly...
This is the lesson that I learnt these few months.
And u know, it is right. When I let go my dreams to travel to far away land and become a missionary, GOD gave me the way to be one. Though not exactly like the way I want it to be.
I went to far away land and become a sort of missionary that help people with their health.

But maybe, I haven't put this lesson into practise when it comes to love matters.
I still longing for someone that always be with me and love me perfectly. I know GOD loves me, but what I still longing so much is the presence of him beside me. A man that understand me and loves me the way I am.

I have let things over some men. And yes it's true that they not the one and they never come back to me. But currently I'm still wondering if this man is the one that GOD will put beside me?
I always think positively in many ways, and I hope deep in my heart that this is the time when we meet. And too many times, I felt confused about my own feelings and cry silently in my sleep.
Is the way between us are so hard to walk through? Why we haven't meet yet? Or if we have meet yet, then why do our hearts haven't join each other?
I only can stare a clear blue sky that can tell me no answer....

A Drop of Love

Today, I looked into a starry night again
And I wonder,
Will I find my true love here?
Just like many people said to me?

Will someone find me?
And break the covers that shield me?
Coz I'm trapped here
Alone and wondering...

A simple prayer is all that I whisper,
That GOD will protect me
And show HIS will
And maybe, reveal him to me...

Oh, how I wish that thing will happen
As I looked out and see in front of me
A figure, yet so blur
And so confusing, like imagination....

A drop of water,
Fell on a dry land
A glimpse of true love
And joy in the heart!

Deep Words

I don't know why today seems so hectic. But an impression got into my mind about someone. Maybe it because my students keep asking me if I had a boyfriend or not. But maybe it because something else...

I'm thinking about this person that without realizing it all these times, I had known for quite sometime and found that he always say words that I felt so deep in meaning. Sometimes, things that he said were simple and plain things, but it seems that those words get into my heart so deeply. And my heart jumps when I heard those words (though nobody sees that). And from the first time I knew him, I felt like I had known this guy for long. We get along easily, from telling jokes to discuss about serious theology matters, I felt like that I knew him a lot.

But I don't....

It seems like everytime I try to know him more, he always dissapear slowly and drag himself away. Not wanting me to know him. But everytime I drag myself away from him and pretending that I don't care about him at all. He always come to me and talk to me, then said those deep words that touched my heart in certain ways.

I don't know what is the reason why he did that to me. Maybe time can answer it. But I just prayed a simple pray, that, if GOD is willing to meet me and him someday, then it's up to HIM to choose the way. Coz he seems so far away from me and sometimes I felt like it's impossible for me to know him more.

And it's only a week before my departure to Kefa, in Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia (phew! I mentioned the exact location huh? ^_^) . It's seems like my chance to meet him become smaller and smaller, the only chance I can meet him is maybe by using Yahoo Messenger, and if I'm lucky I'll meet him online when I'm online at the same time.
And GOD, how I pray those kinds of moments will be available when I arrived there in Kefa.

And now I just wondering if he's the right person and why his words seems so deep for me?
Well, again, I can only leave it to GOD and time to answer it....

Clear Blue Sky Connection

This is the pic that I took with my new cellphone two days ago when I went home from the school. I'm kinda surprised to see that black tiny dot in the middle of the sun, seems like there is an object blocking the sun rays. But at that time the sky is so blue and clear, so that I want to try my new cellphone and took that pic.

As I looked to the bright sky, I began wondering about my life. What happened to me few days ago and things that burdened my mind as I haven't find the real fulfillment of my vision.
Will I make it to the end (till I fulfill my vision?) or shall I just keep doing these things that I felt haven't give me real happiness. The thing that everyone is looking for.

Strange that I can think about this while I just look at the clear blue sky. Somewhere in my heart, I wonder who is that one? The one that GOD had pointed for me. The one that so many times I felt that he's missing me too though maybe he hasn't meet me. Will I meet him someday?
I remembered a time when I swam and stared at the clear blue sky just like that day, I began to felt that he's missing me and at that time is looking at the clear blue sky and wondering where I am... just like I'm wondering where he is...

GOD, is he's staring at the same sky and missing me just now?

Why loving you seems so hard to do?

I had a life that seems perfect, but one day I know that my life isn't complete...
I knew that I always long for you
Long before I met you...

And the day when we met seems so uncertain
Between fantasy and reality
You are there and suddenly you dissapear
Leaving me alone and wondering

How my life change after you came
And why you leave me in this uncertain feelings?
I look up to the sky above and to the clouds
Where are you, where is my true love?

The blue sky that once we look at together
Seems so solemn and blue
Like the days that never ends...

Would Our Thread Connect?

Dear My Prince,

I write this to you because I'm confused, I don't know what happens to me, but I want you to understand me. Because I need you to understand me...

Just a sight of wonder that made me think today about what will the future hold for us?
Do you ever think of that?
I mean, well, so many things that make me wondering what will happen next.
And so many obstacles that I face now to make us connect.
And the threads of our relation are so tangled that it made a bundle of threads that confusing.
So, what do you think to solve the tangled threads?
Or maybe I should ask you how can we work on it together?
Please tell me...
Cause I want to know you more...

fly away

When I think happiness had came into my life,

I found that it suddenly fly away like a butterfly...

Leaving me sad and dissapointed

And I wonder, do I made mistakes? Do I said domething wrong?

But I know, I had to survive

I had to go on

I will shed no more tears...

After all things that happen to me,

I knew, I had to losing grip to the things in the past

And stop thinking about the things that made me sad

I will dream another dream

I said to myself,

Though it had flew away

You can always find another happiness

Coz the world is so full of colors...

Mind on Collonialism

I wake up today and thought of this thing :

WHY WE CAN"T TREAT OTHERS EQUAL?

This thing is so intriguing me for a while when thinking that there are millions, maybe billions of people that have prisoned minds. They think that they are treating everyone the same, but in the end they just can't stop themselves to treat people differently.

In my country Indonesia, many times this happen. People that are considered 'wealthy' and 'nice' are divided into certain class, either foreigners (we called them bule), then followed by Chinese and the most 'unexpected' people are native Indonesian. Even the native people treat their own people the same. They think that people with colored skin and native people appearance aren't as good as the people that have lighter skin. Women are considered beautiful if they have lighter skin. And when a girl that have darker skin marry a foreigner man (bule), she's often considered a prostitute. But if a girl that have lighter skin marry a foreigner man, she's considered lucky.

Gee, this happen in my very own eyes! Can u imagine that? Sad, but it's true. Discrimination is the most popular issue everywhere around the world. Either u live in a modern and free country like America, or u live in a conflicted area like Aceh. Maybe it's quite different from what I always write in my blogs, but the issue of discrimination filled my minds and make me wondering how long till this situation will end?

I hope soon...

Two Hearts

" Two Hearts "

So, what can make your heart mingled with mine?

.....

.....

.....

LoVe???

Are you sure???

Well, I don't know what is your mind, but I am SURE that it is LOVE.

A long period of waiting for that precious moment finally came to me...
Today, a heart synchronize it's heart beats with mine.
Though thousands miles away separate us,
We believe nothing is impossible.

An empty space without you...

Sometimes I feel confused about my life,
I had a great life and overflowing joy
I can be happy with myself and never feel alone
But then I realize,
That there is something odd inside me
An empty space without you...

CrEsCeNt

What do the future hold for me?

SAKURA

Seiring dengan gugurnya bunga sakura
Harapanku untukmu pun juga hilang...
Aku tahu kau tidak akan pernah bisa ada di sisiku...

Terkadang aku bertanya pada diriku sendiri
Hal apa lagi yang bisa kuharapkan darimu?

Saat ini aku seperti sebuah mercusuar di tepi pantai
Memandang kejauhan, menantimu pulang
Aku terus memancarkan sinar agar kau tahu aku tetap ada di sini
Aku memandangi laut dengan sedih, tetapi seakan kau tidak akan pulang
Namun aku tetap mencintaimu...
Selamanya...

(May 19, 2004)

Connection

Aku bertanya-tanya...
Mungkinkah hati yang berada di ujung dunia
Bisa saling terpaut dengan hatiku?
Aku tidak tahu...

I'm wondering...
Will the heart that is in the other side of the world
Can connected with my heart?
I don't know...

GaZe

Feel the gaze upon my heart

Hear my deepest voice

Found the real me inside

Love me the way I am...

(2nd April 2003)

Sea on May

I'm sitting here in the edge of the sea,
Waiting for you to come back
The sky is blue and the water is raging
The clouds seems mingled with the sea

The sea on May
Made me think of you...
The sea on May
Bringing back the memories of you...

All the precious moments that we spent,
Every laughters and joy we spread
And every tears we shed
Made me remember of a day at the sea on May...

Choir of Angels

The sound of a trumpet could be heard
As the sky above turned bright
A glow streamed down from the heavens
And it touched the earth with its light
Their wings were white as fresh fallen snow
Their gowns had a satiny sheen
And their voices were heard all over the earth
Long before they were seen
A choir of angels descended
With voices raised in praise
The sound so sweet, it made one weep
Just hearing the sound of His name

Poetry by Sand

Spread The Light

There are two Ways of spreading light:

To be the candle or The mirror that reflects it.

Wharton

Lonely Bear

I Wish U Were Mine

Are you thinking about me tonight?
When I see thousands stars dazzling in the sky
Are you whispering my name?
Or you missing me in every breath you take?

I stand here in awe
Waiting for you to come and fill my life
But you never come
And I grasp the empty air in vain...

Sola-Luna

The sunshine on my life had been really dim...
Never I see it shine brightly again...
And it seems the only hope it brings
Slowly fade away...

When will the sun shine again?
When will the clouds fade away?
Please time tell me soon...
Coz without in I will end soon

Without the sun, the moon can't exist
Without you, I can't go on

Inspiration

Only when we dare to spread our wings and expose our own unique patterns to the world,do we begin to truly live
