What I got from IBV 1st Anniversary

I finally have an urge to post something on my blog after fifteen full moons and one total eclipse from my last post!

It used to be easy peasy to write miscellaneous things but recently I’m too busy to read others’ blogger posts which also contribute to revive my own blog. Deep thanks!

Ok now I’m going to share what I got from Indonesia Beauty Vlogger 1st Anniversary Party sponsored by Benefit on first of May 2016. I won selfie contest (yes, you’re reading it right!) and I got free ticket to attend that event.

Meeting Indonesian beauty gurus (who I never knew before) was amazing. I felt like I wanna join that community too (which I would never do because I’m too lame to be MUA -.-“)

And oh! by the way this is going to be my first post about beauty. But to make it clear, I’m not a beauty expert so I just blabbing from beauty amateur’s point of view.

Below are Benefit products that I got from IBV 1st Anniversary Party:

#1 Roller Lash

I used it once. It makes my lashes look bold from the very first stroke. Unfortunately, when I performed Salat, it was smudging my prayer cloth and it faded away under my lower lashes 😦 But on the afternoon pray, it did well without smudging or rubbing off.

#2 Benefit POREfessional

 

I believe a lot of you guys are familiar with this one. Whenever I watch makeup tutorial videos, this baby always spotted, such a high demand product! The texture is very silky and it leaves nice coverage for my blemishes since I have small pores so it can be covered up easily.

#3 They’re Real Remover

This is not as good as I expected, it barely removed my makeup. I need to rub my eyes thrice to remove my eye shadow 😦 Even my less than $1 makeup remover did a better job.

#4 The Big Easy Liquid to Powder SPF 35 Foundation

Well, I’m not a big fan of foundation but this one has a nice medium coverage and I like it because it appears dewy on my face. Also, it has SPF 35 which is perfect for tropical country or summer time.

Ok guys that’s all my review and since I got them free, I can’t decide whether it’s worth it to buy those products at certain prices.

Thank you for reading this and see you on my next beauty posts…

Bye.

Pleased with Grade C

Yesterday I was so freaked out after I saw my score on my college official website for student. For the first time in my higher education journey, I got D at final exam. UNBELIEVABLE!

Everything seemed like doomsday. The thing I scare the most has become true. Getting D in final result means I have to retake that subject after even semester end, which means I have to sacrifice my holiday for about 2 months just for that remedial. NO WAY!

Still I went to campus with wrath, pushed ahead along the street, and blamed everyone who were blocking my way on the street, indeed I lost my sense. Then I attended spiritual weekly meeting every Friday as usual. The topic brought by my lecturer was about the difference between shame and prestige. I asked my lecturer what if I had already prepared for exam, did well in every session of lectures, took notes, did my homework, etc yet I got the worst mark ever even worse than my friend’s who never pay attention in class. My lecturer wisely answered, if only I studied and learned for the sake of Allah, I could accept any result I get with sincerity. I felt shame and sensitive at that time because I knew that compared to other subjects, I was nonchalant with the material of this subject. All I wanted to achieve was just good grade without the intention of getting the knowledge. I put my prestige at the first place instead of my responsibility and I feel sorry about myself.

I was relieved and lenient when returning home. I tried to call my parents for telling them the truth. Fortunately, mom and dad didn’t mock me at all. They understand me and support me for every situation I face as long as I’m brave enough to be honest. I felt more relieved after talking to my parent, I love them to infinity and beyond!!!

Before I went bed, I rechecked my scores then I calculated it. My eyes were wide-open as I gripped the paper. I recalculated it for three times and still I got the same number. I had just realized that I forgot to sum up the theory score with the practicum score. And… voila my score soared from D to C (at least I don’t need to retake this course and of course I save IDR 750k)! Well, I don’t mind if I cannot graduate with outstanding grade or cum laude, I already have 4 courses with the grade of C since 3rd semester (I don’t know whether it’s a curse that I can’t upgrade my grade for the next two semesters). I just need to do the best I can for the sixth semester until the last. Hopefully I can get straight As for the last 2 semesters.

Being sincere at crucial things in my life is not easy at the beginning. Looking back at the purpose of doing it will give strength to do justification and self-defense. But looking deep into the heart and finding out the right intention will give serenity to dwell on the next action.

Thank Allah for my grades…

Love,

Bambina

Let’s get started!

So here’s the catch. I’m starting this new blog: basically, it’s just my old domain in which I replace with anticchi.wordpress.com

You guess it, my old contents in this blog before are moved to that domain cos one blog isn’t enough I already love this domain name and I don’t want anybody else to use it 😦 *greedyme*

I still don’t know yet what this blog is going to be filled with. Any post that will describe this domain name? Maybe yes, maybe no.

Ok for now, that’s all I want to say. Looking forward to sharing with many of you.

 

Cheers! xx
