Hai! Recently I really been into Indonesian's local product because I just realize that so many product that I didn't know yet. And gosh, those local product has so good quality! And this make me doubt to buy any korean product because I feel they kind of overpriced when I can get just a same quality with a cheaper price (minus they cute packaging of course ;P).
So here it is..
La Tulipe Pro Powder Brush (i got the refill one)
Price : Rp37.500 / $4
I bought this at local store in Bandung called Toko Mahmud. Usually you can get much cheaper price there because they kind of distributor or first seller of so many makeup brand in bandung so they can give a cheaper price. But you can also get this brand in department store like Matahari Department Store, etc.

If you live in Indonesia, you might have heard about La Tulipe Cosmetics and this La Tulipe Pro (which usually have a black packaging one - this is how we can differentiate them) is the proffesional line of La Tulipe cosmetics which usually used by make up artist or proffessional purpose. So this line has a better quality than the original La Tulipe one.
I bought this blush because I am in searching for a highlighter and countour powder so I get this in number 1 & 8 (which is the first & the last number in this powder blush).

They also have another blush colour like pink, peach, or rose.
I don't really like the packaging design though.. haha I would like if they came more cuter or even more elegant. But this one not really bad anyway..
It's made in Indonesia ^_^ *proud*
No. 1 for the highlighter
No. 8 for the countour powder (or bronzer)
They sealed pretty neat to prevent it from cracked.
Size of the real blush. Not really big nor small.
This one has a pink undertone to it. And it will leaves a white cast something like that if you put it too much. Usually I just dab my finger into this blush pan gently to take some colour & spread it out onto my nose or part where i need to highlight. I don't think I would use brush because it might be hard to control or get too much product. But look at the positive side, this will make our product much last longer as well because you just need a tiny bit of this product :)
I guess this one more suit for someone who has a fair skin under NC/NW 30 (in MAC shades) because more tan your skin to be, more bold whitecast you will get from this blush. You need to blend it really well to diminish the white cast.
For the shimmer, I seen that the particle of the shimmer is fine. Not as fine as ELF healty glow bronzer in Luminance, but i hasn't chunky glitter neither. Again, you need to blend it well if you want to get just a sheen finish.
They both has a same size.
This one has a matte finish which good for oily skin people like me.
This not look too orangey or greyish taupe yet it look like a tan/dark shade of compact powder. So it will look natural if you use it as a countour powder.
Honestly, this one didn't really work on my skin shade which is about NC30. I need to use so many product to build up the colour to showed up in my skin. I guess this will work for people who have shade under NC30.
I wonder why Indonesian product lack of dark shade for medium-dark skin people which most of Indonesian people have a medium-dark skintone like me.
Overall, for $4 of each product, we get a pretty good quality of product. I didn't expect to much from both of this. They have no fatal flaw, they shade just not really suit my skintone.
