2016 is already over! I did a lot of things during this year including being active again in this blog. I also really got into beauty and make up this year! My collection has grew and these are some of the top picks that i would like to recommend ! I tested them during the year and it's time for you to get to know them! HAPPY NEW YEAR !!

fashion blogger best of 2016
best cleanser
 Kose Softymo Deep Cleansing Oil
I've been using this oil all the time for the first step of my double cleansing routine. It gets all waterproof make up off and you don't even need to rub hard. This cleansing oil is also very affordable ( 7, 82 Eur for 230 ml ) !

Origins Checks and Balances Frothy Face Wash
I stumbled upon this product in Douglas Frankfurt Zeil and decided to try it out!
A little goes a long way and it's very mild yet effective. It doesn't leave the skin dry yet cleanses all the grimes and dirts inside the pores.

best skincare products

Garnier Hydra Bomb Tuchmaske / Sheet mask
I'm a big sheet mask mania and i've been testing out different sheet masks from a lot of brands. This one is available in DM and Rossmann in Germany and is the best sheet mask i've ever tested so far. It really moisturizes the skin and the effect lasts for days. I have to admit that it is kind of pricey (2 Euro pro sheet) but it's up to par to high end korean brands.
Origins GinZing Energy-boosting Moisturizer
The GinZing line is enriched with caffeine and vitamins to give your skin an energy boost. My skin always look replenished and glows after i apply this in the morning. The texture is light and gel-like but is very moisturizing. This product suits oily skin types really well because it doesn't contain any oils.
COSRX Advanced Snail 92 All in One Cream
i mostly use this cream at night or as a sleeping mask. This has been my gateway to loving COSRX Products ! Read my full review on this cream here 

best make up
Pony Effect Everlasting Cushion Foundation
This is my go to winter cushion ! The formula is really thin so it applies really naturally with a dewy finish. The puff is also invented by Pony herself and it's called the dough puff. It lasts all day and even better when you put a primer underneath! This is a certain must buy for korean cushion lovers.

Aprilskin Magic Snow Fixing Cushion Foundation
I discovered this cushion from beauty vloggers and this was my summer cushion. The coverage is amazing and it lasts the whole day as well. It has a natural matte finish which is perfect!
Take a look at my full review here. 

Benefit Porefessional
This primer is one of the holy grails of beauty bloggers all over the world. It refines pores and makes your skin super smooth. This is perfect for people with oily skin like me.

 Anna Sui Rose Cheek Color N 301
I got this as a gift and it's a really beautiful blush! you can mix the colors together and it gives you a very nice flush. The pigmentation is really strong so be sure to use it with a light hand.

Aritaum Color Lasting Tint in No. 6 Cranberry Shower
I always wear this if i'm going out for a long time. The color is a very flattering dark pink / cranberry which is amazing on yellow toned skin. The name is not only a promise, it really lasts a long time even after drinking and eating snacks!

best hair products

John Frieda Frizz Ease Wunderkur
This is the ultimate treatment for your hair. It's not oily yet nourishes every hair strands. I've been using this once a week and have seen immediate results. The hair is smooth and easy to style for days after you use this product.

Schwarzkopf Glisskur Tägliches Öl-Elixier
This is the reason my hair is really soft and nourished even though i wash my hair everyday. I usually apply it when my hair is still wet and it just smooths all the frizz and adds shine. I would recommend this to everyone who has dry and unruly hair!

best lotion

L'occitane Hand Cream
These are until now my favorite series of hand cream. I tried 3 or 4 variants of it already and it always smells wonderful. They are never sticky so it's comfortable to use it during studying or going outside. The size is perfect to carry around!

Rituals Honey Touch Body Cream
Jacqueline introduced me to this body cream and got me this for my birthday. The texture is very creamy yet light. You can easily apply it on and the scent is also very relaxing.
You get a nice amount of product for the price and you only need a little bit every time.
7
Baseball / Snapback Caps
This year i've been known as the girl who wears caps all the time. This is a life saviour when i'm having a bad hair day. It also elevates a simple outfit to a swag kind of style. 
Minimalist Jewellery
less is more. That's the style look i aimed for in 2016. Adding minimalist jewellery to your outfit of the day adds more accent points without doing too much. 

best life
 Kpop , K Hip Hop, and K R&B
These are the things that i've started loving in 2016. My favorite artists have been Dean, Zico, Blackpink, Big Bang, and the whole AOMG crew. 

Family & Friends
They're the ones that make my life merrier ! The stars of my instagram and snapchat stories :D
Cheers to great memorable moments in 2017!

Hey people what's up? This week in Marburg is so dark. The weather is getting colder, it rains everyday, and the streets are all wet. I've caught up with a large portion of uni work so i can relax next week.

I took these photos when i was in Hannover , exploring the Herrenhäuser Gardens and hanging out with some friends.

Leather jacket is a must have for fall season. It is versatile to pair with a lot of other fall staples and gives enough warmth to go through the fall season. I definitely have been wearing this jacket a lot this fall because it is so practical. This jacket in particular has a lot of zipped pockets that is safe for keeping your precious good such as keys. It even fits my Iphone 6S!

Now, on to some good news! I've started dancing again in The Movement Dance School in Marburg and am now a part of the team!

Please support us via Instagram (@themovementdanceschool ) and Facebook as well!

I'm sad to say this but Uni is now in full swing. All the Lectures already started, Übung, and Tutorium as well. It seems like there's not enough hours in a day.

I took a lot of photos when i met Tamara in Plaza Senayan last summer. She has been my good friend since the early days of blogging. We took time to sit down, have some sushi, and coffee, and cake afterwards and caught up with a lot of things.
And here is my take on white dress street style ;)

Do you have this feeling when you just want to leave everything and go travel? I know it's too soon but i kind of feeling like it. It's really hard to juggle between doing uni stuffs, and blog, and socialize and do so much other things that is required to live a good life. 
All i wanna do is :
- Go travel to South Korea/Japan/UK/USA/Denmark
- See AOMG live (i know, it's silly)
- Kick it with you (play the video below and you'll understand what i mean ;)
Btw, if you know my love of hip hop dancing and korean hip hop / R&B, then you'll know that i have been obsessed with 1 Million Dance Studio x Jay Park 's All I Wanna Do MV (hence the title)
Hope you'll love it as much as i do :)

I'm officially back in Marburg! Just got back on Friday morning and did a lot of stuffs already. I cleaned like the whole Apartment and unpacked all my things. Things seems to be the same here in Marburg, except like now it's so cold. It's like winter already. 

I went to Grand Indonesia to meet up with Diras who i haven't like seen since 2013 or 2014. We had lunch and talked about our lives as bloggers. She's a really great blogger with a nice sense of style as well! Don't forget to check out her blog!

I was flying alone and got lucky because the seats next to me are all free (yay to sleeping flat!).
This guy was kind and funny and made the long flight more bearable. 
Thank you and thanks for the picture.
Auf Wiedersehen F
Hope you enjoy your flights :)

Hello again after four months without a new post :) I'm so happy to finally get the time to write and post something in Pudding Monster. Studienkolleg ate my life in the second semester. I absolutely did nothing except studying to the point that i know most of the people that go in the Uni Zentralbibliothek on a regular basis. Now i already have written my Festellungsprüfung and finally am enjoying the time off! This post is kind of late because i was travelling all around Hessen with Meryl and visited almost all Weihnachtsmarkt in Hessen. HA. We practically drank Glühwein everyday, oh the good life. We took these pictures in Wiesbaden, in front of Kochbrunnen. Such a lovely city to be in.

Now i'm already back in Marburg and enjoying some down time at home. Be prepared for some food / recipe posts in the future!

Hello! As some of you guys might know, i'm in Jakarta for one month :D Finally home after 10 months in Germany. Aside from studying, i usually travel quite a lot and go visit my friends in another cities. I took this photo in Stuttgart as i was visiting my friend Jacqueline . The natural lighting was beautiful and i decided to dress up that day. Take a look and say what you think about it :)

It's finally time to share a piece of my personal life here in Pudding Monster. As you all know, i'm currently studying in a Studienkolleg in Germany. It's not a University, but somekind of a pre-Uni course. I will share with you all a few tips about studying here in Germany that will certainly be useful, especially when you just graduated from high school and interested in studying abroad. Let's go!

Hello Internet! The weather these days in Germany (esp Marburg an der Lahn, where i live at the moment ) is starting to get warmer. I'm really really happy to see more sunny days because it's a sign that spring / summer is coming. Talking about spring and summer, it's time to revamp our wardrobe to something lighter. I've compiled some of my ideas to what a perfect spring look would be. Don't forget to add your favorite leather jacket, jeans jacket, or even a snuggly long cardigan to the look! I've been switching between my Zara leather jacket and Cooperative varsity jacket these days. I can just throw any of them to my OOTD and they complete them perfectly! Enjoy!

LOOK 1
this look is perfect for a casual-hanging out with friends day
Zara Printed Cut-Out Dress (similar here)
i love the prints on this dress because it's not too flashy yet a little bit fancy at the same time. The side cut-outs are flattering!

Topshop Glass ball Necklace (similar here)
To compliment the fancy dress, a dainty necklace is a must. It's so versatile to mix and match with other outfits as well.

3.1 Phillip Lim black Pashli backpack (similar here)
Who doesn't need a stylish backpack? The classic Phillip Lim Pashli in backpack form is a way to go.

Baublebar Khaleesi Bracelet (similar here)
Something fierce on the arms. Be the mother of the dragons just like Game Of Thrones' Khaleesi :p

Steve Madden Ecentric - Q Slip on sneakers (similar here)
They're comfy yet adds texture to the outfit. Black doesn't have to be plain no?

LOOK 2
for days when you want to dress up for a night out or party
Topshop Off Shoulder Basic White Top (similar here)
Something basic to set off the base of the outfit. 
McQ Alexander McQueen Metallic crinkled-leather mini skirt (similar here)
In contrast to the plain white top, this silver metallic mini skirt is the point of the outfit; making a bold statement
Givenchy Mini Pandora Box in silver mirrored leather (similar here)
This sling bag is the perfect size for a night out and still a match to the silver skirt!
Baublebar Athena Grid Cuff (similar here)
Adding some edgy touch on the arm without making it too much
Baublebar Bamm-Bamm Collar Necklace (similar here)
Another statement piece to complement the basic top. The blue crystals will look amazing under lightings.
Iggy Azalea x Steve Madden Get-It Platform Sandals (similar here)
This collaboration pair is genius. Iggy Azalea successfully combined something fancy yet wearable for those spring days

SPRING WISH LIST
Kate Spade Make A Splash Lenticular Case (similar here)
Why it's awesome? It's lenticular! It changes from Make A Splash to water reflections from time to time. I just WISH they made an iphone 5 version for it.

JBL Charge 2 White Bluetooth Speaker (similar here)
I'm still looking for the perfect speaker because grill and picnic season is coming and i think this is the one. It's on the expensive side but who knows? I might get it some time

Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette (similar here)
I only own one Sephora Bling Make Up palette and it's now time to step up my eyeshadow game. I've heard great reviews about it and tried it once in Sephora Jakarta and loved it.

NARS Dual-Intensity Blush in Adoration (similar here)
NARS just released this blush and the idea of it is genius. Two blushes are better than one right?

Origins  GinZing Energy Boosting Moisturizer (similar here)
I know i've been wanting this product for such a long time and it appeared on previous Wishlists but man.. i want one so bad and i haven't got the chance to have one

Nike Air Max Thea Jacquard in Black (similar here)
Oh yes, since i've started Studienkolleg i've been wearing nothing but sneakers everyday. I own another version of Nike Air Max Thea but in Turquoise and now craving for this black baby!

That's all for now, have a great week ahead people!
Don't forget to catch me in more of daily basis on Instagram in @veenation ! :D

Hello world! Sorry for abandoning you guys for a really long time. I've been really busy here in Germany since my Studienkolleg days already started. I moved from Mannheim to Marburg on 2nd of March and it's been really fun exploring the new city. Busy finding rooms, finding friends, and keeping up with all the lectures because everything was in German. Nevertheless i still have a lot of fun studying. I took the last weekend "vacationing" in Mannheim and finally visited Luisen Park. Something that is unbelievable to hear from someone who lived in Mannheim for more than 5 Months. But the weather was really nice to go out and take a walk with friends. And i hope that spring really does come soon, i MISS warm weather.

Hello hello! Happy new year 2015 ! I'm welcoming the first day of 2015 by posting this outfit idea / OOTD that i shot with Jacqueline in Munich Botanischer Garten. We went there at 10 in the morning and it looked like a winter wonderland. As an Indonesian girl who hasn't properly experienced snow, i went crazy. Snow looks amazing in photos! But since it's cold, i couldn't properly take pictures as planned. The temperature was -2 and for me it's impossible not to get bundled up and take off my coat. Hope you all enjoy your holidays!

Hallo hallo ! Do you guys miss me? I haven't written much since i just moved to Germany two weeks ago. This is my first ever outfit post to fit the autumn/winter season here in Mannheim. I brought just one dress from Indonesia and came across this simple black dress from Hollister in Rhein Galerie Ludwigshafen. To make it better, it was 70% off. So i tried to style this outfit to suit the punk mod style i've been into these days. Enjoy!

Friday was the highlight of my week, i hung out with fellow fashion bloggers Nadya, Milkha, Bella, and Sonya in Kota Kasablanka Mall. It's been a while since i've gone out with them and i had a great time catching up! We had lunch in the new Bakerzin Kota Kasablanka. The place is really lovely to hang out in and take pictures!

It's one of my life goals to visit a cat cafe since i've seen it all over the internet and people keep saying how cute it is. So when my family decided to go to Japan for holiday, i immediately searched for the best cat cafe. I stayed in Shindaita, which is in walking distance to Shimokitazawa neighborhood so Cateriam is certainly the best choice. One word for this review : FLUFFY KITTEHSS :3

As i told you in the last post, my wardrobe is mostly black or white. When Rookie Bloggers or The bulu dadas :P (blogger group) made pastel colors as the dress code of the meet up, i was DEAD. After days of searching around, i finally found the perfect pastel top in Topshop for discounted price. You can't possibly imagine how relieved i was. The piece is perfect to add some color to my black&white wardrobe no?

I have to say that March flew by so fast! I spent a lot of time lurking around the house and literally... STUDYING. The exams are coming and i did Goethe Zertfikat B1 which i passed (Gott sei dank!) . So cheers to pieces of my life captured in instagram pictures which you're about to see now ;) enjoy!
What I've Been Posting Lately :
1. Quotes
Nothing better than an inspiration to start the day right?
2. Selfie (?)
Have to admit that taking pics of your OOTD via mirror is quite addictive. We also took a picture of the senior cheer squad for our yearbook. Hope it turned out well!
3. Food, Drinks, Noms
Taking a picture of my food or drink before actually eating them has become a habit. I feel happy by making other people hungry, food porn alert :p
4. Favorite Things
H&M has opened a branch in Grand Indonesia and got a pair of printed pants, success! The second pic is my camera, and then the last pic is my current favorite beauty product : The Odbo 's Aqua Soothing Silky Essence. It's a miracle product which smooths your face instantly. PS: It's not meant to be sold outside South Korea but i'm selling it for you! contact me via line : puddingmonster ;) Or should i have a giveaway for it? tell me in the comments!
5. Ellen Ang x LINF Giveaway
My dear friend Ellen is hosting a giveaway for one LINF choker! Click click HERE !

Wait! There's more! 
I'm very happy to announce that i'm now one of STYLIFT 's Trendsetter! Check out my favorite items in my Stylift profile & join the wonderful site :D 

Have a great weekend everybody! Don't forget to follow me on Instagram !

Living in a tropical country can be so sad sometimes. When people who live in 4 seasons countries often say that having sunshine all the time is nicer than having super cold weather. Sometimes that statement is true, sometimes NOT AT ALL. I'm in rage sometimes when the Fall/Winter collections are coming in, and fashion weeks are showcasing wonderful coats and thick sweaters and amazing warm things. I want to wear them, like all of them. But the weather is too hot here to wear them and to go rocking coats on the streets seem weird. My favorite runway collection for this winter is Marc by Marc Jacobs Fall/Winter 2014 which was held on 11th February in New York Fashion Week. Check the amazing collection out!

2014 is going too fast for me. January will come to an end next week as we are all still in some kind of holiday mood. As a senior high school student, i will face the exams really really soon (NOOOOO) and now i'm doing a lot of try-outs for the exams. Staying up late to study and waking up feeling like corpse. Anywayy, January has very very lovable things! In this post i compile what i'm obsessed with this January. Beauty, books, music, fashion, i got all that recommendations covered! ;)

The finals week in my school is finally going to begin tomorrow, yikes! It's the time of the year when everything, literally EVERYTHING is going to be tested. I have to say that i really hate the schedule they made because civics and geography is in one day. Anyway before the exams officially begin, me and my family went to Grand Indonesia for lunch and got the time to take quick ootd photos. Isn't the chicken sweater from Persunmall i'm wearing just so cute?
