I've been thinking about which one that I have to post 1st as I have my own scale of priority in posting plus  I have to write a kind of sponsored review,but hey ...this topic can't wait!I know that I can't save the whole world,but at least when there're people who stumbled upon this blog,having the experience,I hope this post can change their mind.Sincerely.

Couple of months ago,one of my best friends quitted from her job.The reason,she got bullied.The verbal bully,a very common typical of bullying that some of pathetic women love to do.I,as an adult,never understand when an adult does the bully over another adult.I mean,most of bullying actions happens during childhood-teenagers age.So if there's an adult who loves to bully other adults,I'm really questioning many things.Does s/he have unhappy life so that she compensate it by bullying others?Or does s/he have so low self esteem so that s/he wants to reach it by bullying other(kind of conquest of her own little version) Or,does s/he have brain disease?We know that some psychopath literally have brain disease.That question, I think I'm literally going to personally ask to my friend who currently takes brain surgery as her MD specialization.Interesting!..

If any of you wondering why I pay attention to this topic,1st of all let me tell you that I know exactly how does it feel to be bullied.I've always been a transfer student due to my parents job back then.We moved alot,so I've always been a newcomer in the class that I attended. I don't know whether I can call it as a bullying action,but as a newcomer there're always people who alienated me,and most of them were female students!(Gosh,what's wrong with us,women??)..Seriously,I don't know what's wrong with them,at the very 1st time I stepped my feet on the class,reached out my hand to introduce my self,they just turned their back on,walked away.What an attitude,huh?I meant,I DIDN'T even know her before,what kind of possibly wrong doings that can make her angry eh?And,that lasted for months untill I had new semester,new class,new classmates.

That's a bit part of my story been alienated.Count how many times I have moved, I'm definitely an ET now!LOL....  But you know what,this is the interesting fact about those who alienated people(and for those of you who are alienating or having a plan to alienate people)you must know this: the more you alienate me,the more I become an ET,that will only means something:THAT I'm from a territory high above your territory,something that is extra ordinary.If not,why would you want to spend your precious time to deal with me and even get in my way then?.. Thank you very much!=D

I've dealt with it nicely,however there're many people out there who experienced worse than I did. Many of them were still kids.And lots of them ended up die.Some of them commited suicide,some others were killed.At that very young age.

What a waste that this our society has done?I mean,those kids who died of bullying actions,they could be one of those who invent a vaccine of dangerous viruses,could be one of those who can build a peace in war zones,and many more.But the society simply let them died,for shallow reasons.The question is,how many more kids that need to die before we act?

Bullying happens globally.In US,there're many cases that even happened to the current day celebrities like Demi Lovato,Taylor Swift,Selena Gomez,Christina Aguilera,etc.In japan,it's very common so that many students died by this(either commited suicide or been killed).Even the Crown Prince daughter,Princess Aiko wasn't immune from getting bullied!One of the bullying action in Japan that I know,and I will never forget is that what happened to Junko Furuta.The story is so scary so that it got me thinking,that is what will happen if we waive on bullying action,killed people,and breed future criminals.In korea,there's this kid that was killed by his bullies on his own home!.Especially about Korea,is this bullying actions part of the culture?..Sad to see that..

Bullying happens in many places:

1.Social bullying:

This is done by the society.The society will bully at whatever reasons they may have,and at some degrees it goes extreme so that the society will lead the victim into death. For example,the honor killings.I think the society norms and value take a part in this killing.

2.Internet/cyber bullying:

This can happen to anyone as long as s/he has internet access and an evil on his mind!The victim varies from kids to adult.Kids are,however,more prone to this kind of bully and many kids have died by that.Somehow I'm grateful that there were no internet back then on my childhood era..

3.School bullying:

This is a very common where bullying takes place.Apparently,school nowadays looks like a war zone rather than a place for education.IF the our society DOESN'T pay serious attention to this problem,what would you expect the next generation to be?A mafia?A gangster?A possible future murderer?.

Exaggeration?Oh well..look at numerous violence actions at school!What are we breeding there?a new Hitler,neo Saddam Hussein?You have the answer..

4.Workplace Bullying:

Seriously,I thought bullying was so yesterday.I mean,only kids do that.But seeing what happened to my friend,if you're adult and you bully...dude,seriously...GROW UP and GET A LIFE! -_-

5.Family Bullying:

I think family could be a part of a bullying too.Sorry for my boarden definition of bullying,but forcing someone to do kind of action outside his/her own will by a kind of power is also a part of bullying action.See forced marriages in some of arab countries.They forced little girls to marry man whom are way older than the girls'age.For example this story of a girl from Yemen,Nojud Mohammed Ali.She became an icon for forced marriage.

Basically bullying can be everywhere,anywhere,anytime,and done by anyone.If it happens to an adult,I think they have stronger survival chance than those who are kids and teens. If you're a kid and read this post,before you decide to do something stupid that you'll regret forever because you've been bullied,then these are what I'd like to suggest you:

1.Verbal bullying:

This is a very common bullying.And,at the same time this also has the same lethal impact as physical bullying.It's just the matter of time before the victim decide to do something:positive or negative thing!

I absolutely know how the power of words(if not I won't be here blogging,duh!),those who are trying to drag you down are actually somehow have less than what you have(less confidence,less happiness,less wealth,less attractive,etc.But 1 certain thing is:less brain!).If they have more than what you have now,they won't need to bring you down.It's not a win from conquering those who are weaker than you are.The true conqueror will always seek those who are stronger than they are,not those who are weaker.Power comes from conquering the stronger one,not the weaker one. Always.remember.that!

So,if you get verbal bullying,you have nothing to do but just move on!You only have 1 life,why you should fill it with negative minds and toxic people? Set your life goals now,be whatever you want to be.Sky is the limit! If you cut your wrist,hang your self,jump over the bridge,drink the poison now,you'll miss many wonderfull oportunities ahead that you may have.You can be there on the Broadway, one of the noble prize winners,someone who goes to the Jupiter,the person could be you and you don't know yet untill you try to find out your self!And,...why not try to find out?

There's only one simple step that you'll need to do each day,that is:Focus on your life goal(and don't think about anything else)!Your life and your time is precious,please..don't give it to those unprecious people who try to bring you down.By giving them a tiny space on your mind each and every day,it means you agree that they're precious people for you.Now ask your self,are they that precious for you after what they've done? Do they deserve your precious life and time?...You have your own answer.

This was also what I did(and probably what I will always do)back then during my school days. I didn't give my precious time and life to think about those trolls because they weren't worth it!I stick with my own goal,the result :I could enter every schools that I wanted to continue my study.In fact I got a highest score on National Exam for 1 of my studies.That said,I believe that if you focusing on positive things instead of negative things in your life,you can achieve good result.

2.Physical bullying:

If you get this,nothing more to say but:you need to seek a law enforcement help,immediately! Please realize,what you're dealing with is either a thug or possible future murderer! What are you waiting for,getting kidney transplantation by constant fists then you decide to report the thugs action?Or now while they only give you a bit of fist? I believe that when a boy needs to throw his fist,that will be on a martial art class only,and under adult supervision.That's all!

If you're parents and think that bullying action is a kind of action to make the kids stronger,please remember that even in war,kids are protected from"persecution, torture, punitive measures, degrading treatment and violence"under Geneve Convention.If you're parents,and are able to sip your tea,get an acces to the internet, laying down on your lazy chair,tell me..are you at a war now?And,do your childrens deserve to be treated as if they're in war zone?

In all,I dedicate this post to all people who have ever experienced"exposed, repeatedly and over time, to negative actions on the part of one or more other persons. And negative actions occur 'when a person intentionally inflicts injury or discomfort upon another person, through physical contact, through words or in other ways"-a definition of bullying by Norwegian researcher Dan Olweus.

Personally dedicated to my dearest friend Ha Mi Won(she looks like Korean Actress Ha Ji Won,but well..the name has taken :P),and for Eduardo Solis(keep up the good work!).

Thanks for reading!and...Have a wonderful day!:)

I finally got my self an android mobile phone,after quite sometimes dizzy in picking which mob should I pick.My previous phone,Nokia ,she got faint frequently.Most of the times,it happened when I was on the phone conversation so that I thought the person whom I was talking to was rude to just hang up the phone without saying a proper goodbye.Turned out it was my mob that was suddenly off,so I guess it's the time to change the mob now.I think it's been 6-8 yrs now,the mob is probably tired already ;) So this is a pic of my new mob(err...sort of :D keep your curiousity..just look at that bow earplug cap only pls :D).And another one is my"retired"phone:

After the retirement of my old mob,really...it got me thinking..where will all this electronic junks end?Of course I don't want a stupid answer such"they all will go to trash can!". Yes,trash can...but then where all of this electronic junks go after they all go to the landfill?You know,all of those electronic junks are not degradable. I remember a documenter(actually it's my fave documenter all the time)"Vu du ciel"about a city in China,Guiyu where the citizen occupation is to manually recycle electronic junks.They disassembled mainboard into pieces,dissolve some of the component with acid,mercury so that they can gain gold from it.

Pretty much the same process as what some ppl in India do to get(actually it's more to"gather"than "get")gold from city water dumpster.And for you the beauty fans,mercury can dissolve gold,even make it white.No wonder if it can also makes your skin white,or your cotton become white in just minutes.Well..with an extra health cost that you have to bear,of course!:)

Such a risky thing that those ppl do.In that city in China,the people got cancer by that.Even kids have high lead level.Interestingly is that..the electronic junks that they dissasemble actually comes from countries outside China,one of them is from US.Now that makes me really wonder,where will all of these electronic junks in my country go or end? With this hysteria of internet and all mobile communication,now with 10 USD you can even get a mobile phone!

People get excited of all new technology,and the price even gets cheaper by day.That will mean one=more electronic junks.And tragically,the coltan that is used for the main component of electronic device is mined from Congo,where there's"an almost modern day slavery"system's going on.This is the fact,some countries in Africa are good sources for rare and precious minerals like coltan,diamond,and gold.Often,the mines are owned by either rebels or landlord,and they got the workers through modern day slavery,even child ones!.If you see Leonardo's movie"Blood Diamond"(oh umm..i'm his biggest fan fyi.I watch almost all of his movies,marvin's room,basketball diaries,total eclipse,etc etc :p),that's how it works there.And sadly,it still happens untill today.So yes,there're deffy bloody coltan as well!

So really,I wish each of us will understand this and using/buying electronic devices wisely.Whatever electronic devices that we use now,it's been through many things,from the possibility of modern day slavery,and even after we throw it,there're still many people get suffers from that.As for me,I'll use my devices'till it doesn't work anymore,can't be fixed,and after years of using.This way I can minimize the electronic junks number.

Another junk that become my concern is this:plastic! Especially the plastic bags one.Couple of months ago,I declutter my home kitchen and found out this hell of plastic bags! In indonesia,sellers are very generous when it comes to giving plastic bags.It's more like a manner for them to give plastic bags for buyers.And the buyers also, don't care about the impact of plastic bags.Some of them will even considerate the seller as"stingy"if the seller didn't give plastic bag. If you buy anything in Indonesia,even if it's just 1 pc of pencil,the seller will give you smallest plastic bag for that!And suddenly,plastic now become a very common thing in every aspect of my life!I see plastic here,plastic there.All about plastic!

For me personally,I have love and hate relationship with plastic.Especially plastic bags,what I HATE the most will be the smallest size of plastic bag!For me the only thing it will be  usefull is only when someone is going to vomit on public place,there you can find it usefull.As for medium and big size plastic bags,I do need it as the bag for my trashes.Really,I don't want to add more plastic bags to the landfill so that now I've been trying my best to bring my own foldable bag to replace the plastic ones.Total I have 5 different foldable bags in different size and shape.

The problems of this foldable bag are these:

1.Foldable bags need to be as slimmest as it can so that it can fit in my tote/sling bag.

2.At the same time it has to be as strong as possible to hold heavy stuffs/groceries.

3.Sometimes I forgot to put this bag(bcoz I haven't emptied the previous content from previous purchases)on my bag.So this is the time when I need plastic bag that the store gives me.

1st time I bought unbrandred foldable bags,and the seam was ripped due to heavy carriage that I carried. Then I bought Envirosax.Envirosax is deffy better than those unbranded ones,it can carry heavier weight. However,envirosax also has its own limit.My envirosax isn't ripped off,but I'm affraid it will since I started to see a space on its seam.So,now what I can do is this:

1.Avoid the smallest plastic bag.When the items that I buy can fit in my bag,I'll just put it there.Or,if it isn't but I bring car,so I'll just carry the items with my hands and then put it on my car.Or else,I'll just put it on my

clothes pocket.

2.Ask for cartoon box when buying big groceries.

Some of plastic types there leach BPA(Bisphenol A).The most"safe"type of plastic is the one with recycling symbol no.5,which means the plastic is made of polypropylene(PP).The most obvious one that contains BPA is PolyCarbonate(PC) with recycling number 7.However,not all no.7 is PC plastic since the no.7 is identifed as"other"which means anytype of plastic other than no.1-6,will be on no.7.As for now,I've converted majority of my kitchen,food and dining utensils into non plastic ones. I converted into stainless,glass,ceramic,or aluminium.Plastic will be the least of my choice,I'll choose it when no other alternative available,and what I'll use is Polypropylene(PP),and certainly I don't heat/put it in heat condition as plastic and heating aren't a good match.When a plastic is heated,it'll release toxin. So for your own goodness,don't heat/put heated food in plastic container pls..

My reusable water bottle,what I currently have are made of : Stainless Steel,Aluminium,and PP plastic.

-Stainless steel is the best one,unfortunately it's the heaviest one to carry T_T..

-Aluminium isn't the best option here as it needs to be lined,usually with plastic resin to keep aluminium leaching into our drinks.And often,the plastic resin contain BPA.In US,Sigg had a problem with their BPA inner lining.

-PP plastic,this is the lightest one,however it is..plastic!

Knowing(and memorizing)that recycling symbol is important.There you can know how to treat plastic based on their types(especially in food handling),and from purchasing an over priced plastic products.I said this because I hardly understand,why a box of PP plastic can be priced 3x(even more) than the same other PP plastic,just because it's labeled under international MLM brand?This is absolutely ridiculous,and ppl from the MLM claimed that their PP box is either:odorless,or airless container so that the foods in it will stay fresh all the time.At the same time,I find other brands on the market with price half than that,made from the same PP,and technically designed better as it's trully airless since it uses silicone on the cap to make it sealed way better. Really,you should know what you're buying or else you become a target of stupid claims..Err..or at at least,stupid price!

I've also been trying my best to always bring water from home instead of buying bottled water when I'm traveling.Reason no.1:I don't like the PET plastic that most bottled water have.Do you notice it,if you put that PET bottled water under the sun heat,then the water in it will smell so plastic?This is my main reason why I don't like bottled water. Reason no.2:to reduce more plastic garbage on landfill. Reason no.3:check this picture by Allison Morris from Education Database Online.She e-mailed me and asked whether I'd be interested in putting this graphic on my blog,and of course I said I would!!Thank you Allison for this pic btw,it'll help readers to understand more about the topic :) Click the picture for  bigger picture and clearer view:

Right,it takes much energy and resources to make bottled water!And crazy thing is that,it'll be dumped in just hours or even minutes after that! What a waste,isn't it?While we all complaining about oil(and its number that's more decreased day by day)for our transportation,we simply waste it in another form,that is...bottled water!Bottled water is recyclable,however it's disposable which means you can only use it once then you have to throw it because it's designed to be single-serve product.

Watch this interesting video about bottled water here:

Ini adalah postingan bahasa Indonesiaku yg ke 3 sepertinya.Karena aku sangat sering sekali dapat pertanyaan ttg topik ini,maka aku putuskan untuk menulisnya.Ini topik lebih khusus buat pembaca yg muslim lebih tepatnya, tapi buat yg non muslim dan tertarik untuk membaca,silahkan..:) Sebelum itu,sejujurnya,aku sangat tidak berminat untuk membahas topik yg berhubungan dengan keyakinan agama di blogku ini.Karena apa?Dalam setiap agama,termasuk Islam itu sendiri,ada berbagai macam sekte,mahzab,aliran,dst.Satu dan yg lainnya kadang saling bertentangan walaupun sama2 satu agama.Pada akhirnya,pelaksanaan agama tergantung kepada masing2 individunya.Jika individu tersebut menghalalkan segala cara demi keinginannya,maka dia pun bahkan tidak akan segan  menggunakan agama utk melegitimasi perbuatannya tersebut.

Ok,jadi pertanyaan yg sering diajukan adalah ttg ini:kuas(brush)kosmetik yg menggunakan bulu babi. Urusan per-babian ini jelas sangat menggelisahkan para muslimah pengguna kosmetik,karena apakah? Tentu saja karena babi adalah haram untuk dimakan,dan tentu saja tidak ada 1 org muslimahpun yg mau pake kuas yg berasal dari bulu babi.Jadi,apa sajakah yg diharamkan untuk umat islam memakannya?

1.Babi

2.Binatang yg disembelih dengan tidak menyebut nama Allah

3.Binatang Buas/Karnivora

4.Binatang Berbisa/Beracun

5.Binatang yg hidup di 2 alam

6.Bangkai(disebut bangkai karena mati tidak dengan cara di sembelih.Bukan bangkai yg berarti hewan yg sudah membusuk yah!).Bangkai yg dihalalkan adalah bangkai binatang laut(ikan,udang,dsb).Artinya,jika binatang2 tsb mati tanpa dibunuh pun,dagingnya halal untuk dikonsumsi.

7.Darah

Itu sebagian besar dr makanan2 yg diharamkan.Tentu saja daftar itu masih bertambah menurut paham yg dianut masing2 muslim.Aku tidak mau membahas soal itu krn bukan tempatnya disini.

Adapun hukum penyembelihan binatang supaya binatang tersebut halal untuk dimakan(walaupun binatang tsb masuk kategori halal,tapi jika tidak disembelih sesuai syariat maka dagingnya menjadi haram),sebagai berikut:

1.Binatang tersebut disembelih dengan menyebut nama Allah pada waktu akan menyembelih

2.Dengan memutus al-wadjan, yaitu dua urat tebal yang meliputi tenggorokan. Inilah persyaratan dan batas minimal yang harus disembelih. Sebab, dengan terputusnya kedua urat tersebut, darah akan terpancar deras dan mempercepat kematian hewan tersebut.Kenapa binatang tersebut harus cepat mati ketika disembelih?supaya binatang tersebut tidak merasa tersiksa sehingga dalam hal ini syaratnya harus:

3.Alat yg digunakan harus tajam,tidak boleh tumpul(dalam artian tidak begitu tajam).Jika alat yg digunakan tumpul,itu sama saja dengan menyiksa binatang tersebut(karena binatang itu matinya lebih lama dan bayangkan penderitaan binatang tersebut digorok lehernya pelan2 dengan pisau tumpul???).Islam tidak membenarkan hal ini,karena itulah jika pisau yg digunakan untuk menyembelih binatang adalah tumpul,maka dagingnya haram.

4.Bila hewan tidak segera mati, dilarang menusuk jantung atau memotong lehernya

5.Dilarang menyiksa hewan saat disembelih

untuk penjelasan lebih detil ttg penyembelihan yg halal bisa dibaca di(sini).

Jadi,walaupun hewan tersebut termasuk kategori halal untuk dimakan sekalipun,jika proses penyembelihannya tidak benar maka hewan tersebut menjadi haram ketika dikonsumsi.Berdasarkan hukum halal haram diatas,apakah layak jika hanya bulu babi saja yg dipermasalahkan?Padahal sumber bulu yg digunakan di kosmetik sangat beragam.Sebelum itu,perlu diketahui bahwa biasanya kuas dari bulu hewan dijual dengan label"natural brush"atau"natural bristles".Iya disebut natural karena bukan terbuat dari bahan sintetis.Adapun hewan-hewan yg dipakai untuk bahan kuas tersebut antara lain:

pics below aren't my courtesy

Beberapa dari hewan-hewan yg digunakan untuk kuas tersebut adalah binatang buas.Apakah bulunya sekarang dikategorikan halal?dan untuk yg halal untuk dimakan(domba,kambing,kuda),untuk proses menjadi kuas maka pertanyaannya adalah:apakah binatang tersebut mati untuk diambil bulunya?Kalo iya,apakah mereka disembelih sesuai syarat halal penyembelihan hewan? Tentu saja jawabannya adalah:KITA TIDAK TAHU. Bahkan pada kenyataannya,binatang2 tersebut memang sengaja dibunuh untuk diambil bulunya!!Baik yg binatang liar seperti badger,mink,sable,squirrel.Maupun yg binatang ternak.Karena ini adalah perkara abu2/ragu2,jadi sekarang semua tergantung kepada kita sendiri. Seperti yg aku bilang diatas,pelaksanaan agama tergantung kepada masing2 individunya.Jika individu tersebut menghalalkan segala cara demi keinginannya,maka dia pun bahkan akan menggunakan agama utk melegitimasi perbuatannya tersebut.

Islam mendefinisikan dirinya sebagai "Rahmatan'lil alamin",bahkan hanya untuk sekedar menikmati daging tidaklah mudah bagi muslim karena dari situlah tercermin usahanya sebagai"rahmatan'lil alamin". Islam bahkan tidak memudahkan bagi pemeluknya untuk begitu saja mengambil nyawa makhluk lain demi kepentingan dan urusan perut pemeluk agama itu sendiri.Ada banyak syarat yg harus dilalui.Dan itu semua dilakukan untuk"menjaga"hak hewan tersebut yg sudah kita bunuh demi urusan perut kita. Jadi,halal haram bukan sekedar soal babi atau bukan babi saja...

Jadi,apakah layak jika babi saja yg dipermasalahkan disini?Kalaupun iya dan kita ngga tau itu kuas dari bulu apa,kenapa ngga pakai kuas sintetis saja?Untuk urusan kuas make up ini,kuas sintetis jelas merupakan solusi terbaik karena tidak ada hewan yg digunakan dalam kuas ini.Berikut beberapa jenis kuas sintetis yg ada di pasaran:

1.Nylon

Ini yg paling umum digunakan sbg kuas.Sebenarnya di pasaran banyak sekali yg pake kuas nylon.Salah satunya merk yang pake adalah ini:

Furless

Furless memakai nylon untuk beberapa kuasnya,beberapa jenis lainnya menggunakan taklon.Sudah aku review yah,baca di(sini). Atau klik di banner sebelah kanan->.Itu bukan refferal link kok,jadi sekalipun kalian klik itu 1000x,aku ga bakal dapat sepeserpun dari situ,LOL...yg ahli e-commerce pasti tau bedanya!XD

2.Recycled PET

Dibuat dari bekas botol PET yg sudah didaur ulang.Keren banget ya konsepnya!Ini jarang dipakai,setauku baru Urban Decay yang pakai bahan ini dengan kuas mereka"Good Karma".Model kuasnya juga keren2 pula!Cek di web mereka di sini.

3.Taklon

Pertama dikembangkan oleh Du-Pont,kemudian perusahaan Toray Jepang membeli hak paten utk membuat taklon.Rata2 kuas make up sintetis sekarang memakai serat jenis ini.Merk2 yg banyak dikenal yg memakai serat ini:

-Ecotools(review di sini)

-Real Techniques by Samantha Chapman(review di sini)
Komentarku cuma satu:ini benar2 brush faveku.Banget!! Benutk kuasnya itu loh yg benar2 keren,kalo yg hobi sama kuas,pasti ngerti deh gimana kuas yg enak dipakai itu.Real techniques ini benar2 keren..

-ELF 

Merk ini juga sudah pasti pada kenal.ELF punya beberapa seri kuas.Untuk seri studio & bambu  mereka,semua kuasnya terbuat dari serat sintetis.Klik di sini.

4.Syntho

Merupakan serat sintetis high grade dari Jepang.Merk2 yg memakai serat ini:

-Crown brush

-Looks

-Morphese

5.Natrafil

Ini merupakan serat terbaik diantara semua jenis diatas.Dikembangkan oleh Du-Pont,dibuat semirip mungkin dengan tekstur bulu binatang.Hanya beberapa merk saja yg pake serat ini krn masih sangat baru.Merk2 yg pake:

-Adesign

-Revolution

-Studio Tannaz

Merk2 berikut memiliki koleksi kuas sintetis juga:

1.Sigma

Dengan koleksi mereka yg terkenal"Mrs.Bunny".Klik ini untuk melihat koleksi brush sintetis mereka.

2.Bdellium

Sebenarnya bdellium juga sama terkenalnya dengan sigma di amerika/eropa,tapi di Indonesia blm begitu terdengar ketimbang sigma.Koleksi kuas sintetis mereka adalah"green bamboo"dan"yellow bamboo".Aku punya beberapa kuas dari bdelllium ini,kapan2 aku review yah!^^

3.Too Faced

Too faced memakai serat yg mereka sebut sebagai"teddy bear hair"karena seratnya benar2 lembut,seperti buluteddy bear!Cute banget yah namanya^^ Too faced ini model kuasnya juga cantik2:

Aku blm pernah beli sih,lumayan mahal juga soalnya^^.Naomi yg sudah pernah beli,bisa lihat reviewnya di sini.

4.Sedona Lace

Yg ini merk dari Amerika.Bisa dilihat dari web mereka di sini.

5.Everyday Minerals

Yang ini pasti para pecinta make up di Indonesia sudah ga asing lagi dong ya.Semua kuas everyday minerals adalah kuas sintetis.Cek web mereka di sini.

6.The Body Shop
Yang ini tidak usah dijelaskan lagi.Silahkan kunjungi counter2 TBS terdekat untuk mendapatkan koleksi kuas sintetisnya ^^

....dst yg bisa kalian temui dengan mudah baik di toko2 kosmetik,online maupun offline.

Kuas sintetis juga jauh lebih higenis karena struktur seratnya yg teratur(dicetaknya sama)sehingga kotoran,sel2 kulit mati,bakteri dan kuman tidak ter"perangkap"di antara serat2nya.Lain dengan kuas dari bulu hewan yg stuktur seratnya tidak teratur.Hal ini juga memudahkan kuas sintetis untuk dibersihkan ketimbang kuas dari bulu hewan(natural bristles/natural brushes).Selain itu,kuas dari bulu hewan memerlukan pencucian dengan desinfektan dan bahan2 kimia anti bakterial yg kuat sebelum dibuat kuas mengingat,yah...tau sendiri kan gimana hewan.Mereka suka guling2 ditanah,buang air besar,kencing,korengan,berdarah,bernanah,dst.Jadi sebelum bulu mereka dibuat sebagai kuas yg notabene nantinya bakal untuk memulas bibir,mata,wajah,dan pipi kita itu,bulu2 itu perlu di kasih bahan2 kimia anti bakteri sebanyak2nya dulu.Tentu saja,kalo ngga'gitu tar kuas bulunya bau pup,masak kuas buat bibir bau pup atau nanah,sapa yg mau beli dong??...Coba liat gambar di bawah ini:

Di pasaran Indonesia,sebenarnya banyaakk sekali kuas sintetik.Aku sering ke toko kosmetik iseng2 liat.Memang sih merknya bukan merk2 diatas.Tapi yg pasti banyak banget kok kuas sintetik,baik yg dijual online maupun offline.

Sekarang bagaimana membedakan kuas dari bulu binatang(natural bristles) dengan kuas sintetis?Sebenarnya dilihat dari tampilannya sudah kelihatan,karena kuas dari bulu binatang biasanya lebih kasar.Seratnya tidak teratur,walau itu dari bulu binatang yg halus sekalipun.Ini contohnya dari kuas yg aku punya:

Ini adalah kuas make up pertamaku.Dibelikan mamaku dulu waktu pertama kali pakai lipstik,maksudnya sih karena masih amatir gitu jadi biar ga belepotan pake kuas ini aja. Dilihat dari penampakannya,kayanya ini dari bulu mink atau sable....*pingsan*   T_T

Ini dari face powder di reviewku PF organic wear(yg kiri,ijo.Dapet gratisan dr sananya-_- .Yg kanan pink,sintetis).Terbuat dari bulu domba.Keliatan jelas kan betapa kasarnya..Aku ngga pakai lagi 2 kuas bulu hewan diatas skrg,cuma disimpen aja.Yang pasti sih skrg aku slalu pilih kuas sintetis,dan misal aku ragu pasti aku tanyain ke penjualnya itu kuas bahannya dari apa.

Sekian dulu ya postingan ttg kuas ini.Semoga bisa cukup menjelaskan.Tentu saja setelah ini ada yg tidak setuju dan tetap berhasrat memakai kuas dari bulu binatang,serta berusaha mencari ayat maupun hadist untuk itu.Silahkan saja,itu hak masing2 individu.Seperti yg sudah aku bilang sebelumnya: pelaksanaan agama tergantung kepada masing2 individunya.Jika individu tersebut menghalalkan segala cara demi keinginannya,maka dia pun bahkan akan menggunakan agama utk melegitimasi perbuatannya tersebut. Semua berpulang kepada diri kita sendiri utk melakukan keputusan yg bijak bukan hanya bagi pribadi,tapi juga bagi lingkungan.Halal dan haram saja sudah merupakan satu pertanyaan,belum lagi kenyataan yg sangat kejam bahwa hewan2 tersebut sengaja dibunuh untuk diambil bulunya,bahkan beberapa diantaranya disiksa dahulu sebelum mati. Benarkah?Coba klik link ini jika ada sedikit saja rasa kemanusiaan di hati kita:
http://www.mercyforanimals.org/calves/

http://www.furkills.org/furfarming.shtml

Dan coba lihat lagi kuas2 kosmetik yg sudah kita punya,atau yg rencana mau kita beli.Itu berasal darimana bulunya??masihkah kita berpikir ini cuma sebatas si babi atau bukan babi saja?...   

Karena ini adalah beauty blog dan bukan forum keagamaan,dan aku sendiri malas untuk "perang"ayat disini,maka bagi yg berhasrat utk berkomentar demi pemakaian bulu binatang di postingan ini dan menggunakan ayat2 suci disini untuk berargumen,aku sarankan untuk melakukannya di forum2 keagamaan sajalah karena aku jamin 100%,komentar2 seperti itu tidak akan aku approve sama sekali :). Aku ngga mau ada perang ayat atau hadist disini,maksudku..masa'jeruk minum jeruk?:p Yah,teserah apapun namanya udah males aku liat sesama  umat beragama  ribut2.Ngga ada manfaatnya.Dan juga,aku anti kekejaman terhadap binatang,kasian banget mereka.Masak mereka harus disiksa dan mati cuman buat dijadikan....kuas make up??#!&^%$#**&  Oh iya,ada yg berargumen bahwa tu hewan dipotong bulunya dan  ga dibunuh.Yah bolehlah kalo itu perusahaan kecil yg omsetnya dikit sehingga mau susah2 gundulin hewan kaya gitu.Lah kalo perusahaan besar yg omset perharinya ribuan??Apalagi rata2 kuas sekarang buatan RRC,padahal RRC dikenal dengan kebijakannya yg mewajibkan animal testing sebelum suatu produk masuk ke pasar Cina.Intinya,RRC tidak begitu animal friendly.

Ok,segitu dulu dari aku.Semoga bermanfaat yaa..^^
