Laneige BB Cushion Pore Control No.21 Natural Beige (refill)
Price: Rp165.000,-

At first I thought that my journey to find my favorite BB was over when I found this one but it's not yet 😂 the pore control is okay, it does last long since it is a water resistant BB cream however it doesn't really cover and the finish is semi-matte which is still dewy for my skin. It's better for me to still wear loose powder for everyday/two way cake for formal on the top of this BB Cushion. I will rate this 7,5/10 (while dr.jart and etude 8/10 for their coverage).

Missha Under Eye Brightener
Price: Rp43.500,-

For acne scars/hyperpigmentation It does not cover well, you have to make three layers to cover them. But as under eye brightener, it works well. And for the price, the slim-easy to carry and apply packaging, I will rate this 9/10 hahaha!

Wardah Exclusive Matte Lip Cream
Price: Rp49.000,-

Yes I know there are a lot better lip creams than this... But eventually I keep coming back to wardah because they have the shade that I want and the price that I can afford lol. If I want some gradient lips I usually wear Wardah Long Lasting no1 and no8 for warm peach result or no2 and no7 for nude pink. Anyway, this lip cream stays all day without eating or drinking but fade only a little after eating (I ate Nasi Padang and they're still there, just fade a little) and drinking. But yes it's still drying (although not as drying as Wardah Long Lasting) and leaving powdery feeling.
Recently, I read an outstanding review about Make Over Intense Matte Lip Cream, a reviewer even said that the quality is like Girlactic/Sleek, so I get curious to try one (esp the shade Secret).

Elf High Definition Powder
Price: Rp148.000,-

As an HD Powder, this powder definitely has no coverage, but instead it gives you blur effect on fine lines and results a smooth skin texture. Many people said that it is a dupe of MUFE HD Powder. Oil control is good enough for a normal day. However the packaging is bulky.

This very basic make up is quite good for daily, I normally touch up 1-2 times depending on how long I stay outside. If I want to feel lighter, I replace the BB cushion with Sunblock SPF 50. And of course with moisturizer under the BB/sunblock.
