Review: Trilogy Rosehip Multishield Moisturizer SPF 15

Review: Trilogy Rosehip Multishield Moisturizer SPF 15

Monday, October 12, 2020

Udah lama juga ya nggak bikin review produk skin care... Mumpung lagi gabut dan sebelum 'pamitan' sama Trilogy Rosehip Multishield Moisturizer SPF 15, sekalian dibikin review-nya dulu, deh! Without further ado, langsung aja simak ulasannya berikut ini, ya!

Ini produk apa, ya?

Trilogy Rosehip Multishield Moisturizer SPF 15 adalah pelembap wajah keluaran Trilogy, brand asal Australia, yang masih masuk ke dalam lini Rosehip-nya. Brand Trilogy sendiri memang populer karena produk Rosehip Oil-nya.

Nah, Rosehip Oil yang jadi kandungan andalan mereka ini pun diinkorporasi dalam beberapa produk skin care lainnya, seperti Cleansing Oil, Cream Cleanser, dan moisturizer seperti produk yang gue mau review ini.

Nggak sekadar moisturizer biasa, produk ini punya embel-embel "multishield moisturizer". Apa nih maksudnya? Jadi, pelembap ini tuh mengandung Rosehip, PEPHA-AGE, Marula Oil, dan SPF 15––yang membuatnya punya kemampuan untuk:

• Melembapkan kulit,
• Melindungi kulit dari sinar UV,
• Melindungi kulit dari blue blight atau pancaran sinar biru dari gadget, dan...
• Membantu menyamarkan tampilan garis halus atau kerutan.

Setelah baca manfaatnya, langsung kepikir nggak sih kalau pelembap ini pas banget buat yang lagi WFH dan sehari-hari liat layar? Gue sih kepikiran gitu, ya, haha. Makanya akhirnya gue cobain pelembap ini pas pertengahan WFH. By the way, ini gue nggak beli, ya. Temen editorial ada yang dapet dari liputan, terus dikasih hehe.

Tekstur dan formulanya kayak gimana?

Dibaca dari kemasan dusnya, ada tulisan kalau pelembap ini "non-greasy". Makin pas buat gue yang punya kulit kombinasi, dong? Sadly, meskipun bener produknya nggak greasy, menurut gue Trilogy Rosehip Multishield Moisturizer ini punya tekstur yang relatif thick. Bahkan, kalau gue ambil kebanyakan, jadi agak susah diratain dan ninggalin whitecast.

Tekstur sebelum diratakan

Tekstur setelah diratakan beberapa kali usap (see that whitecast I'm talking about?)

Sebenernya, kalau kalian cukup sabar, bisa banget ini dipake sedikit-sedikit aja terus diratain pelan-pelan. Karena kalau gue coba swatch di tangan, teksturnya masih nyaman banget, lho! Begitu rata, pelembap ini pun nggak ninggalin rasa lengket. Tapi kebetulan gue orangnya agak nggak sabaran kalo buat skin care. Jadi akhirnya gue stop pake setelah beberapa kali pemakaian. Buat pemakaian di bawah makeup nggak ada masalah.

Terus, gimana efeknya ke kulit?

Sepanjang pemakaian, gue nggak ada komplain sama sekali buat efeknya ke kulit. Yes, emang pakenya harus sabar. Tapi efeknya fine-fine aja. Cukup melembapkan, nggak bikin makin berminyak, atau nyumbat pori-pori. 

I think this would be a great product for those with dry skin. I can also imagine dilluting this with 1-2 drops of rosehip oil for better texture and extra moisture. Buat efek perlindungan atau garis halus, I can't say much, karena gue juga belum pakai untuk jangka waktu yang lama.

Jadi, suka nggak sama produknya?

Yes! I like it but I know that it's not meant for my skin right now. Agak sad sih haha, soalnya gue cocok banget sama Rosehip Oil dari Trilogy. Mungkin nanti kalau gue berencana traveling ke tempat dingin, I would probably reach back to this product. In the meantime, gue berencana buat ngoper pelembap ini ke temen gue yang punya kulit kering.

Kesimpulan:

(+) Great ingredients. Rosehip, Marula, Anti-aging, what more could you ask for?

(+) No side effects. Nggak clog pores atau bikin kulit makin berminyak

(+) Great packaging. Simpel dan travel-friendly.

(+) Lumayan environmentally friendly. Kemasannya recycleable dan nggak melakukan animal-testing. 

(-) Thick texture. Butuh waktu lebih untuk diratain secara sempurna untuk kulit kombinasi / berminyak.

(-) Pricey. Ya, tapi ini relatif, sih... kalau kalian sehari-hari skin carenya La Mer, ini jatohnya affordable, kok...

Belinya di mana? Terus harganya berapa?

Harga: Rp650.000

Bisa dibeli di: C&F atau Sociolla (click to buy!)

 The Isolation Continues  Even though I have tested negative for Covid-19, I had close contact with W, who's positive, so we isolated together for a good 2 weeks. We stayed on Facetime so, so, so much that even Facetime itself can't keep up. It kept on closing itself or just showing black screen even though the camera's on.

One of the package W sent me during our quarantine period ;)

 More Allergy  Remember how I told you that my skin's showing signs of allergy? Well, now it is clearly an allergic reaction to something because my face is full of whiteheads out of nowhere. After a couple of consults at Halodoc, my skin is now back to normal. I might do a separate post dedicated to this allergy drama.

 Buttermilk Chicken from Dapur Ruben  After seeing the amazing reviews for these buttermilk chicken for a while, I decided to place an order. I even ordered extra sauce because that's what everyone's suggesting on the reviews. The verdict? It was pretty underwhelming. The chicken wasn't as tasty nor as flavorful as I expected, some even only tasted good because of the batter (I mean, the seasoning hasn't really seeped in into the meat). You'll know why I ordered if you saw the reviews. Here's the link to the acc.

 Carlino Bakes  If there's anything this'll tell you, it is that I never learn. Again, because I saw so many people raving about their Goguma Pang or Korean Sweet Potato Bread, I ordered one box. I also ordered their best selling Sea Salt Brownies. Well, turns out I don't really like sweet potato so it's a no for me. The brownies is fine. But, I do really like their packaging. Order yours here.

 The Complete Kane Chronicles  I FINALLY FINISHED A BOOK! It's actually a 3 books cramped into one. This is a series from Rick Riordan, the author of Percy Jackson, but instead of Greek Mythology, The Kane Chronicles revolves around the Egypt Mythology. Aside from the history lessons about the Egyptians and their Gods, this is also a very light and entertaining book.

August 2020 Roundup: The Good, The Bad, and The Worst

Borrowing By Ruthie's template, here's what happened in my August:

L I F E

---

 Weekly Dates Part II  Let's just list down the places W and I visited this month:

• MRCCC Siloam because I have some insurance errands to do.
• Gordi for work, also met R for a quick chat.
• Groovy Pet Care to groom my furbabies.
• Sushi Hiro for a quick brunch.
• Konro Karebosi at Kelapa Gading.
• Selah Coffee & Kitchen (newfound love at Puri area!).
• Senayan City & Plaza Senayan.
• Bersih Sehat for 60 minutes reflexology.

As much as this dates bring me joy, let me just remind you once again, that we strongly advise you to stay home. Us going out was 100% foolish and reckless.

 First Sangjit  In the beginning of August, my cousin just got engaged and this is the first time ever me and my sister went for a Chinese engagement / Sangjit. We also got to wear cheongsam for this event. Oh, my sister also cut my hair literally an hour before the event and she obviously just had to cut it too short.

 Signs of Allergy  On one visit to Selah, I decided to take a picture for work, which required me to wear a makup. Soon after the makeup's on, I noticed that bumps are appearing on my skin. But I just let it slide. Bad move. You'll know why on my September's roundup lol.

 Meeting the Family  If you go back to my date list, you'll see that I visited Senayan City with W. What I didn't tell you before is that I did not only meet W that day, I met his whole family. Again, it was pretty scary at first but I think it went pretty well (for me).

 Getting Tested  When my house assistant is back from her hometown, I immediately booked for a test at RSPI Puri Indah on Monday. Since I'm gonna be accompanying her, I thought I might as well get tested as well. So we went. Couple hours later, our results came back negative. On the very same day, W also did his PCR Swab test for his flight requirement. Afterwards, W and I went for a massage at Bersih Sehat and coffee at Selah.

 The Positive News  The very next day (Tuesday), W and I planned to meet again after lunch. So, when he called at 12ish after I finished my makeup, I asked did he arrived yet, to which he replied, that his test came back positive. What?

At times like this, I would love to give myself a pat on my back because I did not freaked out (I have plenty reasons why I should be freaking out for example like how we were together all day literally the day before?). Weirdly, I'm not scared like, at all, but I did immediately book another Immunoassay test for Thursday.

That day, W and I Facetimed all day while he called his friends, cancelled his flights, and so on. Then, he self quarantined for two weeks before finally tested negative :)

 A Day at the Hospital  I have a bump on my right eyelid. It's hard, it's not red, it's not painful, but it definitely isn't going away. Plus, my tooth's been aching on and off. So, I take a day off from work on July 31 and went back to RSPI Puri Indah. 

After a quick consult with the GP, I was referred to take a blood test for thyroid, a consult with ophthalmologist, and a consult with a dentist. Here's how the day went:

10.00 – Consult with the GP

10.30 – Blood test (which was done in a room with a Finding Nemo wallpaper)

11.00 – Eye consult. The doctor said my eye need a surgery and it'll only took 15 minutes. She first stabbed my eyelid with a needle to numb it down. Afterwards she flipped my eyelid, told me to press it to keep it flipped, then I can literally feel her cutting my eyelid and scraping the insides of it. 

11.45 – Consult with the dentist. Instead of fixing my wisdom tooth, the doctor said that the hole on my teeth is the one we need to focus first, so she fixed my holes and referred me to a mouth surgeon (?).

12.30 – My eyes started to feel painful and I can see blood on the corner of my eye, so I went back to the ophthalmologist and asked for a bandage to keep it clean in case I'm going to rub my eyes.

13.00 – went to see the tooth doctor, he looked at my eye and immediately said that I should do the surgery on another day. He did told me to get a panoramic picture first, though.

13.10 – Took my panoramic dental x-ray.

13.30 – Getting the meds, then went home.

You know... I'm just really, really, glad that August is finally over.

 Satjaning Guru Book  Bought this from @kekekania, hasn't finished it till now, lol.

 Nintendo Switch Lite  This is a very impulsive purchase. I feel like my sister is persuading me so much that I finally gave in and bought one. Well, it is fun to play animal crossing. I read a tweet that says playing animal crossing is fun because it give you a sense of control which you do not have in life and I couldn't agree more.

 Mentai by Me  Bought this for Kak I's birthday.

 The Milky Things  Honestly... the Mint Chocolate Chip milk tasted more like a banana milk. It was tasty, but not the mint chocolate chip taste I was expecting.

 Sociolla's Internal Sale  Aside from getting things for my friends, on this session of internal sale I bought myself a DHC Eyelash Serum because I can see that my eyelashes have been getting more and more sparse.

 Salty Belly  Since the owner's my mutual on Instagram, I've been eyeing their truffle dimsum for a while so I finally bought one for W and he loved it!

July 2020 Roundup: Picnic & Poor Financial Decisions

Borrowing By Ruthie's template, here's what happened in my July:

L I F E

 Weekly Dates  Since I am back in relationship with W, we met on weekly basis. Yes, we know that we should've stayed home. But we went anyway. Let's see... we visited Ikkudo Ichi, Say Something Coffee, Three Folks (for 5 minutes before we left because it's way too crowded). Also went for dinner at his place with his family (did I freaked out? obviously. did it turned out fine? yes).

 Back on Set  I went on a long hiatus from work, shooting included, from April to June. Finally, in July, I've had my shoots scheduled. Shoot(s) with 's' because I had 3 shoots within 2 weeks. I thought that the hiatus would make me all rusty. Apparently & luckily, I was wrong. It went really well that one of the production team commented how quick the shoot with me was :')

 Going on a Picnic  With the pandemic going on, it's becoming harder and harder for W and I to date. I've been pretty careful by avoiding crowded and enclosed space, especially if we're going to spent a long time sitting. So, when he proposed the idea of going to a picnic, I agreed immediately.

From the planning (getting a gingham picnic mat–while accidentally finding bizzare home decor), to the day of the picnic, it was all fun. Although we planned something else for the food, we ended up getting noodles takeaway. 

Fun stuff #1: there was other picnic group nearby. As soon as they are seated, they actually pray ashar on the picnic mat. Fun stuff #2: After we went home, a mutual of W's friend posted a picture of us from afar, captioned, "this could be us but you playing" 😂

 ADILS/LINNMON Desk from IKEA  I worked terribly from home. So, I thought a proper desk would help. It did not. It worked well to put all my work stuff, eat, and play games, though. Get yours here.

 Picnic Mat from Tokopedia  W and I settled on yellow gingham mat because we thought that red gingham mat just screams too much picnic lol. 

 Face Mask from YouRock!  When I saw the seafood and pecel stall illustration, I just knew I had to have it for W. Here's the link to the store: @medusa.yourock

 Mini Painting Kit from Studio San Junipero  At this point of purchase, I’m convinced that staying in quarantine releases some kind of hormone that makes you spend more and more as the time goes. I mean, was the purchase really necessary? A painting kit? 100% no. Did I buy it anyway with no remorse? Yup. Either way, it’s gonna be a fun date idea to paint together, I guess. Here's the store name: @studiosanjunipero

 Pink Pencil Pants & Pink Short  By the time I’m making this purchase, I don’t even have enough money on my active account that I had to take it from my savings. BUT–in my defense, a pink outfit is something that I’ve needed for a long time for work and this should make it okay. Where to get yours: @monrue_ind

 Gluten Free Chocolate Cake from Mood.Butter  W and I bought this for R's birthday on July 5th. Since he's on a gluten-free diet, I browsed Instagram and found @mood.butter. I've got to admit that the taste is pretty bland, but then again it might be because of its gluten free formulations...?

 Carrot Cake from Art of Being Health  This Art of Being Health cake is for my brand acquaintances, the ladyboss behind Carl & Claire Perfumery, who is also a vegan.

 MangkokKu  I ordered Brisket Onion Sauce with Onsen Egg and it was pretty tasty that I actually ordered it again for lunch a couple times. If you’re a fan of fatty beef slices with savory marinade that leans more to the sweet side, and a hint of smoky flavor, this one’s for you. I also liked how the egg was perfectly soft and runny.

 Hainampol  W and I ordered Nasi Hainam Signature from Hainampol for lunch. It’s not bad, but I’m missing the garlic oil from the usual chicken rice. W said that the chilli was pretty good, tho.

 Akoen Noodle  Before we went to picnic, W and I stopped by Akoen to take away noodles for lunch. Tasty but not as savory and ‘MSG-y’ as I would’ve liked. Why am I such a picky eater...

 Janji Jiwa  The first time I tried their Caramel Latte, I stayed up all night and managed to write 2 whole articles. The second and third time I ordered it, I went to nap 20 minutes after. Oh, well. 

 Dessert by Dare  I got two of their mini dessert boxes: Belgium Chocolate and Milky Cheese. It did the job fulfilling my sweet craving during PMS. 

 Pochajjang Korean BBQ  Um. Nope. That's all.

 Dark  As the name suggest, the series was pretty dark–the set, the cast, the conversation–basically everything that I stopped after watching 3 episodes.

 Into the Night  If you fancy a post-apocalyptic movie with classic arrays of cast–the brave, the stupid, the lover, the pain in the ass–this would be perfect for you. I liked the plot, but the dialogue definitely has room for improvement.

 Avatar: The Last Airbender  Rewatched this and watching this as a grown up now, I feel even more amazed of how good this series was.

 Japan Sinks 2020  I am not a fan of this series 🙂. It started out promising, but with each scene passes, this series just left an uncomfortable feeling, so I stopped after the fifth or sixth episode.

Cheers,
