Best Place to Shop for Make Up in This Universe! (Part 1)

Banci make up gini, kalau kemana-mana pasti yang dicari duluan adalah spot belanja make up yang paling nge hits di satu daerah yang dikunjungi ^^ Gak peduli abis terbang 18 jam dan jet lag, tapi kalau dibilang ada tempat jual alat-alat make up di tempat yang kita datangi, seketika hilang tuh capek dan jet lag :-D Sampai gak ingat makan dan baru terasa lapar waktu udah dapat tentengan belanjaan di tangan. Hahaha. Kami memang dua manusia yang cukup freak :-D

So, here's a post dimana aku dan adikku akan share tempat-tempat paling okeh untuk hunting make up di seantero jagat ^^ Post kali ini untuk region South East Asia dulu ya, nanti lanjut lagi dengan spots menarik di berbagai belahan bumi yang pernah aku atau DocCii datangi untuk belanja make up ^^

1. Jakarta
Pasar Tebet

Mulai dari capital of Indonesia yang kami berdua sangat cintai... Ada dua tempat yang jadi favorit kami dalam urusan hunting make up: Pasar Baru dan Pasar Tebet!

Yeap, kedua tempat itu diawali dengan kata PASAR karena kami kurang suka beli produk make up di shopping mall. Terlebih untuk produk make up import, karena sakit hati lihat harganya. Hahaha. Untuk produk-produk import, kami sebetulnya lebih suka belanja kalau lagi travelling ke luar negeri. Lebih murah dan kalau belanja banyak bisa refund GST ^^ Beli di duty free waktu tunggu pesawat di airport juga lebih murah. So, kecuali terpaksa banget, kami jarang beli product make up import di Jakarta.

Nah, di moment 'terpaksa banget' itu lah kami memilih Pasar Baru dan Pasar Tebet sebagai ultimate destination dalam usaha pencarian produk make up yang kami inginkan. Harga-harganya bisa sekitar 20-30% lebih murah dari harga di dept store atau shopping mall. Masih boleh nawar pula ^^

Oh iya, untuk Pasar Tebet sendiri... gosip-gosip nya sih banyak banget professional MUA yang biasa dandanin celebs tersohor Indonesia yang belanja perlengkapan perang mereka disana ;-)

TIPS: Dengan maraknya produk kosmetik palsu sekarang ini, be a smart buyer. Research dulu di internet untuk tahu perbedaan produk palsu dan asli. Kalau masih clueless, tanya aja sama penjualnya. Biasanya mereka jujur kok :-) Aku rekomen toko nya Om Haji Toto (Toto Cosmetic) karena variasi produk yang super variatif dan harganya miring banget. 

2. Kuala Lumpur
Ada Sephora di Star Hill! Ada juga Sasa, walaupun gak sekomplit yang di Hong Kong. And most importantly... make up dengan merk high end harganya sedikit lebih miring daripada harga yang di Hong Kong atau Singapore. Apa karena mata uangnya yang Ringgit ya?

Jadi, kesimpulannya... kalau belanja high end make up, go to Malaysia ^^ Lancome, Yves Saint Laurent, Estee Lauder, Bobbi Brown, etc... bisa ditemukan di berbagai mall terkemuka di Kuala Lumpur. Go to KLCC, Star Hill City, or Pavilion for more options of high end make up brands.

Oh iya, Rimmel di Watson nya juga lebih murah lho ;-) 

TIPS: Di KLCC, redeem your tourist privilege card dengan cara menunjukkan passport kamu di concierge KLCC. Bisa dapat additional 10 - 20% saat belanja di beberapa high end stores di KLCC ;-)


3. Singapore
Toa Payoh Interchange

Sephora and Sasa is the place where you can find me and my sister at most of our times in Singapore. Hahaha. Udah paling gak salah deh belanja disana. Kami juga suka belanja sample make up di toko-toko perfume yang banyak terdapat di Lucky Plaza. Murah-murah!

And our recent ultimate finding... Toa Payoh interchange! Satu line dengan Orchard MRT, Toa Payoh Interchange kalau malam ramai banget. Disana banyak jual toiletries dengan size besar dan harganya super miring. Beli Vaseline body lotion yang pump dan besar harganya cuma sekitar SGD 4 kalau gak salah. Belum lagi sabun seperti Palm Olive atau brand lain... harganya lebih murah daripada kalau beli di Jakarta ^^

TIPS: Walaupun sudah buka dari pagi, tapi akan lebih seru kalau pergi ke Toa Payoh malam hari. Lebih leluasa belanja nya and we'll get a glimpse of native daily life ^^ If you speak Chinese, that'd be a great advantage!


4. Bangkok
I call Bangkok as my mini London ^^ Soalnya ada Boots yang lengkap nya hampir lumayan sama kayak yang di Belgravia, London. Hehehe. 

Bangkok memang terkenal dengan accessories atau baju-baju yang murah di daerah Pratunam, dan cuma sedikit tempat dimana kita bisa belanja make up. Tapiiii... sekalinya ada, it's a major one ;-) and I'm talking about their pharmacy stores... Watson dan Boots. 

Produk-produk yang terdapat di Watson dan Boots di Bangkok itu banyak banget yang gak beredar di Indonesia, even Malaysia atau Singapore. Makanya kalau disana hobi banget jelalatan nyari Boots atau Watson's yang bisa didatangi ^^

TIPS: Masuki setiap Watson atau Boots store yang kamu temui! Kadang kita bisa menemukan berbagai item berbeda di tiap store nya :-)


5. Manila
Went there waktu ngikutin si Otong yang pergi Jamboree sama teman-temannya 3 tahun lalu. Nothing special about cosmetic haul di Manila, tapi make up tools made in China yang dijual disana harganya sedikit lebih murah daripada yang dijual di Pasar Baru ^^

Nama tempatnya adalah Divisoria, pasar yang super crowded yang ada di Manila. Tapi hasil belanja disana worth the sweat lah ^^ Selain jual alat cosmetics murah, banyak juga knocked off hand bags murah yang dijajakan dari pintu masuk pasar sampai ujung :-D Uniknya, kalau kita jago, di pasar ini kita bisa melakukan sistem barter untuk melakukan transaksi jual beli. Wicked!

TIPS: Datang ke Divisoria malam-malam aja, biar gak terlalu keringetan banyak ^^ Tempat ini juga kurang cocok bagi penderita hygiene freak dan acute panic attack... just warning ya ;-)


Okay, segitu dulu ya... biar gak bosan baca nya ;-) soon kita nyambung ke part 2, masih di region Asia tapi kita pindah ke Asia Timur (Korea, Jepang, etc).

Until next post ^^

Fashion Inspiration: Blue Winter

It's just a couple of weeks before I'm returning back to Seoul and heard it's getting chiller these days. That excites me, really ^^ I love cold weather, and I was praying for a winter in Indonesia back in my childhood. Hahaha.

One thing I got so excited about winter is that'd be the only times I can wear so many stylish coats on the street :-D My winter outfit collections are a lot more than my any other season's outfits.

Expecting that snow will come down a few days after (or even before) my arrival in Seoul, so yesterday, I came up with a look that maybe would work for me during my winter days later there ^^




Watched some Milan and Paris Fashion Week shows last month (Hallelujah to streaming channels!) and it seems like neon colours in blue; yellow; shocking pink; etc; would pretty much be the 'it' colours of SS2013. Although so, been spotting so many cute winter outfit in neon colours this 2012. Never been wrong to do a 'jump start' in fashion ;-) I'm in love with this blue Stella McCartney coat. Wondering if I can get that sweet thing in Seoul...

So, let's see the details of my chosen outfits this time :-)

  • Coat is Stella McCartney Blue Wool-Twill Coat
  • T-Shirt is JCrew Burn Out Jersey T-Shirt (I'll be damned wearing this t-shirt alone underneath my coat on winter days, but I looooove tha print ^^)
  • Pants is JBrand Denim Stretch Cotton Mid-Rise Cropped Pants (it makes my thigh looks smaller ^^)
  • Scarf is Kelly Wearstler Ikat Print Silk and Wool Blended Scarf (YES! This scarf is very much inspired by one of Indonesian traditional cloth pattern *proud*)
  • Gloves are Karl Abery Studded Leather Gloves
  • Bag is Yves Saint Laurent Cabas Chyc Large Leather Tote (Saw Miss Jessica of SNSD carried this bag and I had a lil peek inside for a bit. The bag is officially on my wish list ever since! Jess' bag's colour a bit darker though)
  •  Shoes are Yves Saint Laurent Tribtoo Patent and Leather Ankle Boots (got trouble with the size of calves this lady here, a big fan of boots but never go further than ankle boots ^^)
  • Eyeshadows is Maybelline New York Eye Studio Colour Explosion Shadow in Blue Blowout

What do you think??  Would this kind of style fit you too? Share your thoughts with me ^^
