Lazy Girl's Beauty Diary

Hello Beauties,

As the weather is not very friendly, around 39 Celsius in the afternoon.It's not good for the skin. If you don't treat your skin well it can be damaged. Here's some what I do to make me feel better through the day. There is going to be part 2 about beauty bits during hotter months.

After washing my face and use moisturiser, don't forget to use sunscreen. I don't suggest to put same sunblock for face and body if you wear make up. The formulation is different and it can be quite oily for the face. Use face and body sunblock every day before go out. Not only it helps to prevent damage of the sun but also make sure the skin not getting dull. If you have sensitive skin, sunblock for kid can be your choice, like what I use. Don't forget the lips, I use Sebamed Lip Defense. Any lip balm will do, just don't forget to moisturise your lips.

 For refresher I use rose water, you can use facial spray like Evian Mineral Water Spray or just regular water spray. It's good to use it during the day or as a setting spray. I like to switch up fragrance based on season, in hotter days I like fresher fragrance like The Body Shop Dreams Unlimited Sun Fresh.

I know my hair is getting oily and ugly if I go out in the sun. Washing my hair everyday is not an option. So, I always use baby powder as dry shampoo to absorb the oil. Dry shampoo will do the same job, but I prefer baby powder. As my hair will getting crazy through out the day, I always bring bobby pins and hair tie.

What you do to survive hot weather

Hello Beauties,
Holiday is the perfect time to get back into reading. I love to read a good book when I'm home and relaxing at terrace with my cats. A wonderful feeling hit me when I smell a new book and can't stop read it because it is so good. Here's my book picks for the holiday. 

1. Message in a Bottle -Nicolas Sparks
This is not another Nicolas Sparks romantic typical novel. The story is more grown up and mature. The story is about romance after grief. Theresa Osborne, a divorced columnist finds a message in a bottle when she go jogging. The letter is for Catherine and signed by Garret. Theresa try to find Garret hope that she find someone special. The journey change her life.

2. The Tale of Desperaux - Kate DiCamillo
The main plot is about a house mouse named Desperaux. Desperaux is a house mouse  who lives in the castle.His family considered as abnormal, he has uncommon body and he loves a princess. But the unique thing about this novel is that it is not only from Desperaux point of view.It is also tells story about Miggery Sow, a girl that sold by her father and later become a maid in the castle where Desperaux lives and Chiaroscuro, a rat that lives in the dungeon of the castle. It is a light story that's suitable for children.

3. Life of Pi - Yann Martel
Life of Pi is not the easiest thing to read in my opinion. I don't know maybe because English is not my native language. Mainly the story is about Pi, when he travelled to Canada from India by boat the ship is begin to sink. Pi clings to a lifeboat and encourages a tiger Richard Parker to join him.Crew of the boat throw him into a life boat he finally leave with Zebra, Orangutan and a hyena. The story is mainly about how Pi manage to survive.

4. Of Bee and Mist - Erick Setiawan
This is a story that took place in unknown town. About Meridia, a daughter of Revanna. Being kept from the world, she met Daniel, a man who latter offer her marriage. It seems a sweet escape from her family. What Meridia don't know is that her mother in law has a secret. The story is written beautifully, not focus on the drama but the fantasy, there are ghost, spells,& magic that will take you from the real world.

5. Inferno - Dan Brown
To be honest, Inferno is the first Dan Brown book I read. I like it a lot. The story is about Robert Langdon, a Harvard professor who lost his memory for the last few days. Later he found out about what happened to himself.Against this backdrop, Langdon battles a chilling adversary and grapples with an ingenious riddle that pulls him into a landscape of classic art, secret passageways, and futuristic science. Drawing from Dante’s dark epic poem, Langdon races to find answers and decide whom to trust.


Do you have any book recommendations for me?

Hello Beauties,
Sorry for not posting for the past two weeks, I was very busy with final project. But now I finally got time to take care of this blog again :)

I usually hate face sunscreen because of the sticky feeling. I rarely wear sunscreen in my face and use foundation that have spf instead. I kind want sunscreen because I'll go to Lombok and live there for a while. Of course, I don't want to burn my face.I just sat in waiting room at Erha Clinic and start swatch things. I'm instantly in love for the texture. It is not gel like as it in the description, but more watery like usual moisturiser. I use it after moisturiser before foundation. I'm quite surprise that it's look great under make up. It feels like adding another layer of moisturiser. The downside of this product is that there's no description about spf. 

It comes with 2 variants, for normal-dry and normal-oily. It's great to find sunscreen that can suit your skin type. Since most of sunscreen in the market don't do that. The price is Rp 66,000. You can buy erha products in Erha Clinic or erha apothecary near you.

What's your favourite sunscreen?
