Lenovo A6010

Biasanya saya selalu menulis tentang beauty products, beauty routine, atau fashion style dan info diskon di blog saya ini, tapi sekali-sekali saya ingin menulis yang sedikit berbeda ya. Sebetulnya masih berhubungan dengan post saya sebelumnya yaitu tentang Online Revolution event di Lazada Indonesia. Disitu saya menulis tentang promo diskon yang sedang berlangsung di Lazada, dan hari ini saya mau menulis tentang handphone Lenovo A6010 yang juga sedang di diskon di website Lazada.

Adapun spesifikasi dari handphone ini adalah sebagai berikut :

Layar 5" IPS Kapasitif
Android OS, v5.1 (Lollipop)
Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8916 64-bit 1.2GHz Quad Core
ROM 16GB + RAM 2GB
Dual Camera 13 MP & 5 MP

Dengan tampilan yang stylish dan performa yang menunjang aktifitas, handphone Lenovo A6010 ini dilengkapi dengan kamera 13 MP dan 5 MP untuk kamera belakang dan depan. Dengan prosesor inti empat seri Qualcomm MSM8916 Snapdragon 410 dan ditunjang dengan kapasitas RAM sebesar 2GB kita dapat mengakses beragam aplikasi, mulai dari aplikasi ringan sampai aplikasi yang lebih berat sekalipun.

Nah kalau untuk makhluk visual seperti saya yang senang melihat gambar dan warna terang dan jernih, display layar handphone itu cukup penting sifatnya. Karena rasanya kurang puas kalau handphone-nya sudah canggih tapi display layar-nya kurang menunjang. Di handphone Lenovo A6010 ini display layar-nya cukup oke. Apalagi dengan screen sebesar 5" dan resolusi layar 720 x 1280 p dengan kerapatan ~294 ppi ini mampu menampilkan jutaan warna yang terlihat nyata dan jernih.

Satu lagi poin yang penting untuk para wanita biasanya adalah : faktor kamera. "Kamera-nya bagus nggak?" Pasti pertanyaan itu sering dilontarkan oleh para wanita yang ingin membeli handphone baru, ya kan? hehe.. Lenovo A6010 dilengkapi dengan 2 kamera dan pada kamera belakang dilengkapi juga dengan auto focus sehingga memudahkan kita untuk mengambil gambar yang lebih jernih dan jelas.

Kelebihan lainnya, handphone ini juga dilengkapi dengan konektivitas GPRS, EDGE, 3G, HSDPA, Bluetooth dan Wi-Fi. Juga tersedia fitur Wi-Fi hotspot yang memungkinkan kita untuk share koneksi internet ke gadget lain di sekitar kita. Selain itu handphone ini pun memiliki port micro USB dan jack audio 3.5 mm.

Untuk operating system Lenovo A6010 ini menggunakan sistem Android dengan seri Lollipop. Untuk keterangan lebih detail kamu bisa lihat langsung di website Lazada Indonesia ya. Disitu ditulis cukup jelas semua kelebihan dari handphone satu ini. Jangan lupa lihat promo diskon yang lain kalau kamu mampir ke website Lazada.co.id karena saat ini sedang berlangsung "Online Revolution" yang merupakan ajang promo terbesar akhir tahun ini :)

Happy Shopping!

[Outfit Diary] - Featuring : Dress-In

It's been a long time since I last posted my [Outfit Diary] posts, but if you remember last month I wrote about my current wish list which is : Rompers. In that post I mention about Dress-In website which is an online fashion store that serves Internationally.

I had the opportunity to try out their service and it has been a successful one. I had a smooth ordering process and the delivery time was within normal time for International shipment to my country. I only had a little problem when trying to figure out which ones to get because there are so MANY choices on their website, Lol ! (^_^)

I wanted to try a lot of them including a cute little pineapple-print shorts and a gorgeous sheer maxi gown with red floral embellishment - that I saw on their website. But finally I made my choice. I chose some items that I know I'll wear and I needed for the time being. My choice was a white plain blouse which I can mix n match, and a stripe maxi dress with hi-lo cutting.

I realized that I don't own a plain white blouse so I thought I needed one to mix n match with the rest of my wardrobe. A white plain blouse is a must-have basic item in your wardrobe because it's very versatile and you can dress it up or dress it down. Even if I already have a white buttoned shirt I still need a plain white blouse like this because it's more casual than a white buttoned shirt.

I can already imagine that I can pair this blouse with a lot of items in my wardrobe. Maybe with jeans and a statement necklace, or with leggings for a super laidback look. This blouse is made from a thicker chiffon material and it's a little bit see-through so I need to layer it with tanktop. You can see all the details here on DressIn website. They have a few color options from red to black, but I chose white because I needed a white blouse ;)

Here I'm trying it on for the first time with my rose-printed pants and a pink/white necklace. I also wore a black tank inside and carry my kate spade black bag. It's perfect for a day at the mall with my loved one :)

Meanwhile the stripe maxi dress is something that I really really like. There are so many things that I love about this dress. I am a big fan of maxi dresses, I love stripes, I love hi-lo cuts, and I also love ruffles. And this dress has everything I want!

The irregular hem (hi-lo cut) with ruffles on the edge is what really sold me. It is made of polyester material and this dress looks very legit in real life. Looks like something that you'd paid more than $9 for! But the truth is this dress is only less than $9 at DressIn website. You can see more of the details here.

This dress comes in different sizes and I ordered the smallest size which is size S. It fits me just fine on the bodice but it's a tiny bit too long for my short leg (because I'm very petite). But no worries, I can always wear heels with this dress :) - problem solved!

This is actually a sleeveless dress but here I'm layering it with a white lace cardigan to add the feminine effect even more. I also wore heels, added some black & white accessories for an elegant monochrome look.

I think this dress can also be dressed up or down. Just add a different kind of accessories and jewelries to dress it up or down. Anyway, this might be my favorite maxi dress in my wardrobe right now :)

[skincare] : Garnier Light Complete White Speed Series

Beberapa waktu lalu saya mendapatkan bingkisan cantik dari Garnier Indonesia, berupa satu box besar berisi rangkaian Garnier Light Complete White Series dengan extra notebook dan pashmina cantik warna hijau :)

Kebetulan saya belum pernah mencoba rangkaian Light Complete White Series ini, yang merupakan rangkaian skincare dari Garnier yang dapat menyamarkan bintik hitam dan bekas jerawat, serta membuat kulit lebih cerah.

Di dalam box yang saya terima terdapat beberapa produk yaitu :

- Multi-Action Whitening Serum Cream for Day,

- Multi-Action Whitening Serum Cream for Day - dengan SPF,

- Multi-Action Whitening Serum Cream for Night,

- Multi-Action Brightening Scrub.

Dari awal saya terima paket sampai dengan hari ini saya rutin memakai ke-empat produk tersebut. Kurang lebih sudah 3 minggu-an saya pakai rangkaian Garnier ini. Hasilnya: saya merasa sekarang tiap foto selfie kalau saya perhatikan kulit saya jadi terlihat lebih cerah dibanding sebelumnya. Jadi nggak perlu pakai aplikasi filter berlapis hihihi Kulit juga terasa lebih kenyal, dan yang pasti jadi jarang banget berminyak di siang hari! Bahkan kalau saya tidak pakai bedak pun kulit tetap hydrated dan tidak berminyak. Score!

Oke, saya break-down satu-satu ya...

Dimulai dari Garnier Multi Action Brightening Scrub.

Face scrub ini dipakai ketika mencuci muka. Bisa dipakai setelah mencuci muka atau dipakai sebagai pengganti sabun muka juga boleh, karena face scrub ini mengandung butiran soft scrub yang halus banget - jadi aman untuk dipakai sehari-hari. Wanginya lembut dan sedikit segar, enak banget pokoknya hehe Setelah pakai scrub wajah ini biasanya muka saya jadi langsung terlihat bersih dan segar, apalagi kalau dipakainya pagi hari setelah bangun tidur :)

Setelah membersihkan muka dengan face scrub ini biasanya saya langsung pakai toner atau langsung pakai pelembab. Nah pelembab yang saya pilih biasanya bergantian. Kalau hendak keluar rumah apalagi ke tempat outdoor siang hari biasanya saya pilih pakai Garnier Multi Action Whitening Serum Cream "Day" with SPF - yang dilengkapi SPF 19 dan extra UV Protection. Serum Cream ini berfungsi sebagai pelembab untuk melembabkan kulit sekaligus memberikan proteksi terhadap sinar matahari yang merugikan kulit. Pelembab Garnier seri ini enak banget dipakai di kulit terutama untuk yang kulitnya normal cenderung berminyak seperti saya. Tekstur-nya cepat sekali meresap dan yang paling penting: nggak lengket sama sekali! Wanginya pun enak, segar gitu :)

Nah kalau kebetulan hari itu saya hanya akan stay at home atau hanya stay di dalam ruangan, biasanya pilihan pelembab saya adalah Garnier Multi Action Whitening Serum Cream "Day" yang juga dilengkapi UVA/UVB Filter. Menurut Garnier, serum cream ini membuat kulit kita mampu bertahan sampai dengan 12 jam tanpa kilap. Biasanya kalau saya perlu makeup yang tahan lama saya akan pakai pelembab ini sebelum memakai makeup. Hasilnya, makeup dan foundie menempel dengan baik serta nggak cepat luntur dan lumayan bebas kilap seharian :)

Terakhir, setelah sampai rumah dan membersihkan makeup dengan makeup remover biasanya saya langsung double cleanse dengan mencuci muka lagi. Kegiatan ini biasanya saya lakukan tepat sebelum tidur. Jadi setelah mencuci muka sebelum tidur saya langsung menambahkan Garnier Multi Action Whitening Serum Cream "Night" sebagai pelembab malam hari saya. Fungsi night cream ini selain sebagai pelembab juga sebagai exfoliator karena dilengkapi dengan natural peeling fruit extracts yang dapat membantu mempercepat proses regenerasi kulit di malam hari. Tekstur dan wangi-nya sama dengan serum cream yang lain, terasa nyaman dan cepat meresap di kulit. Semalaman kulit wajah saya tidak akan kering walaupun di ruangan ber-AC. Pagi-nya tinggal cuci muka dan kulit wajah pun jadi kenyal dan lembab :)

Sejauh ini saya sangat enjoy memakai rangkaian Light Complete White Speed series dari Garnier ini (sumpah bukan iklan loh saya ngomong gini hehe). Formula-nya terasa ringan dan nyaman di kulit saya. Mudah didapat di supermarket, dan affordable pula!

Intinya, saya merasa cocok banget pakai rangkaian ini. Kalau kamu punya kulit kombinasi, normal-berminyak atau berminyak sekalipun, saya sarankan coba pakai rangkaian ini deh. Enak dan nyaman di kulit, bikin kulit bebas kilap dan nggak bikin iritasi. Dengan pemakaian rutin rangkaian ini secara lengkap selama minimal 3 minggu kulit akan terlihat lebih cerah dan fresh. Extra point: wanginya yang lembut segar :)

Selamat mencoba!

Hugs and Kissies,

[Shopping Diary]: Anniversary Gift Haul + {Bag Review}: Rebecca Minkoff Mini M.A.C

Did you remember my Bag Edit post where I listed all my bags in my wardrobe and sort them out one by one so I can have a clear view of them all ? On that post I have decided on which bags to keep and which bags are for sale or to be given to someone else / charity. One of the bags that I decided to let go is my old fuchsia pink crossbody bag from Roxy that I got a while ago when I had a project with Roxy Indonesia. I have worn that sling bag numerous times and it was my go-to bag for those casual days when I don't want to be bothered holding a bag in my hand. Crossbody bags are the easiest to wear. It hangs on your body so both of your hands would be free to do anything else.

After many years of wear and tear the overall look of that Roxy bag is still very nice and the color is still very vibrant, but I found out that one of the corner has been chipped, and a small part of the leather at the front is peeled a little bit too. So I think the bag needs to be retired. And that means I need a new bag to replace that one ;)

Luckily I found a similar bag not long after I decided to put away the Roxy bag. After using the Roxy bag for many years I found out that I need at least one bag like that in my life. Small crossbody is always a good idea for days when I want to go carefree such as when I go to amusement parks, concerts, or any active / outdoor activities where you don't want to hold your bag all the time in your hands. So for me a small crossbody bag is a must-have in any girl's closet.

One of the small crossbody bags that has always been on my wish list is the Rebecca Minkoff Mini M.A.C. This bag was a big hype in youtube and I think any western bloggers has at least one of these mini macs in their closet. These little babies come in many colors, from pastels to neutrals and electric. They also come in different hardware, from silver to gold to black, etc.

Mine is in Purple with Gold Hardware. The M.A.C stands for Morning After Clutch. Rebecca Minkoff has 3 different sizes of the M.A.C bags which are: the mini mac, the regular mac, and the mac daddy (the biggest of all three). They are all crossbody type and they are very very popular amongst the fashionista.

Here in Indonesia we don't have Rebecca Minkoff store yet but you can find them on Reebonz just like I did. Like I mentioned before in this blog, Reebonz is my go-to place for designer labels, especially for designer brands that are not widely available here in Indonesia yet. Rebecca Minkoff is one of the brand that you can find often in Reebonz. And the mini mac is one of the most sought-after bag from Rebecca Minkoff so it's no wonder that these babies sold out quickly at Reebonz.

Anyway, I was lucky to have found this fuchsia purple mini mac which I think is perfect to replace my Roxy bag. The color is similar, although the Roxy one is more towards fuchsia pink while the RM mini mac is more towards purple. But nonetheless, both are beautiful vibrant colors. I love to wear bright fun colors on smaller items like this bag. It adds a little bit of fun without screaming much attention to your outfit.

It was on sale and I couldn't passed up this opportunity. Luckily our wedding anniversary was coming and I sneakily passed this up as an anniversary gift from le hubby (;p). I'm glad I can finally ticked off one of my dream bag from the Bags-I-Want-To-Buy list. And I'm quite lucky to be able to get it with discount price.

At first I was confused to choose between this purple one and a blue one with silver hardware. I haven't owned a silver hardware bag so I was hesitating a bit to buy the blue one instead. But I wanted a bright fun color to replace my Roxy bag. In the end I chose the purple one with gold hardware because it's more vibrant.

The RM Mini Mac is made of a very good leather material. The leather is buttery soft and it makes the bag very lithe and not stiff at all. It has long tassels also made from leather that hangs around for decoration (which is like the signature look of this bag).

It also has a top zipper and a front flap with a hidden zippered pocket beneath the flap. But I rarely use the hidden front pocket because you have to lock/unlock the hook at the front before you can reach the hidden pocket. But if you're traveling, the hidden pocket would be perfect to store your extra money.

The size of the mini mac is small yet it can fit all the necessities, such as wallet, phone, lipstick, mints, tissue, and keys. It cannot fit a long wallet unless it's a thin long wallet, but it would fit a small wallet nicely.

The interior inside is very simple with two small pockets on one side to put your small items. Another thing that I love about this bag is it's interior pattern. I believe there are a few different interior patterns on the RM mini mac. Mine has a black & white graphic pattern. Other Mini Macs might have a totally different interior pattern, but one thing for sure, the interior pattern would always match the dust bag. How cute is that?!

(matching the dust bag!)

REVIEW for PETITES :
The chain strap of the bag is very long but it would fit a tall girl nicely. For petites like me who is just around 155 cm - the chain strap would be a bit too long. But I found a way of wearing it without looking like it's too long for my petite frame.

What I do is I shorten up the strap a little bit. The original chain strap is not adjustable but you can still shorten it by looping the chain into the D-ring and attach it to the top D-ring. Here I'll show you how to do that :

The original strap would look like this pic above.

A lobster claw attached to a D-ring on the bag.

Un-attached the lobster claw and pull it through the D-ring instead

Loop the chain and Re-attached the lobster claw into the D-ring on the top

Here's a numbered step-by-step

on how to do that :

1. Loop the chain through the D-ring

2. And then attach it to the other D-ring at the top (see arrows on above pic)

If you do the steps above you will have a shorter chain strap. What I usually do is to shorten only one side of the chain, because that's my favorite length for a crossbody. You can of course shorten both of the chains to make it even shorter and turned it into a shoulder bag.

So this bag can be worn in several ways:
- the crossbody style,
- over the shoulder style,
- as a shoulder bag,
- and if you take off the chain it becomes a clutch!

Below is how the bag would look like on a petite/short body frame ... I worn it in two different styles (crossbody and over the shoulder). I also worn it in two different lengths : the original chain length, and with only one strap shorten.

(original chain length)

(only one strap shorten - worn over the shoulder)

(only one strap shorten - worn crossbody)

(only one strap shorten - worn over the shoulder)

Although the bag is small but I can fit all my necessities in there. At first it took me a while to adjust to the small bag because I have been carrying big bags for so many years. But now that I'm using this bag for a couple months I realized that I actually didn't really need all that crap that I put in my big bags. I can survive a day with a small bag and everything in it. So here is an example of what I can bring with me inside the bag :

As you can see, I can put my phone, my key pouch, my Starbucks card, a tissue, a BBW handbac gel, a fisherman's friends mints, and a little pouch that I use to store my money, credit cards, and ID card. I don't have a small wallet yet so I'm using this LV mini pochette to bring my money and important cards instead.

Right now I am looking for a small wallet so I can put it inside my mini mac. All I have now is long big wallet which wouldn't fit inside this bag.

Overall, this bag has quickly become my favorite. I wore this bag for 2 weeks in a row when I first got it, lol. I have so many people compliment my mini mac especially because of the fun color. And it makes me want to buy another one in different color (maybe the blue one with silver hardware?). But those are just wish list. I'll just keep it on my wish list for next time ;)
