Victoria's Secret - Love Me Eau De Parfum

Victoria's Secret - Love Me Eau De Parfum

Posted by Monica L on 3:31 AM in Eau De Parfum, Love Me, Perfume, Review, Victorias Secret,

Several months ago I went to a local mall near my living place where I saw an 'up to 50% discount' banner in front of Victoria's Secret store. I had never bought anything from Victoria's Secret before so when I saw that banner I thought 'why not?'. So after browsing for a while, I decided to buy their Love Me perfume. The original price was around 1.2 million IDR (around 90 USD when this blog is written) for 100ml, I have to pay around 670k IDR after discount.

The bottle is really cute, it has a vintage style pump and black large lettering around it. I love the scent that is combination of sweet and floral, and it's also long last. My husband said he could still smell the perfume after I got back from work.

Cute, right!

BUT, the quality of the bottle was quite a shocker. After I used it for a month, the pump was broke! When I tried to spray it nothing came out but air. Really not the quality that I expected from something that costs 1.2M (even though I bought it when it was on discount, still, it's not like someone had used it right?). I was really disappointed. Fortunately the bottle can be opened so at least I can use the perfume with my finger (but it's really troublesome...).

I've read some reviews and many people complained about the same problem on various models that used vintage pump. I think Victoria's Secret really need to work on the quality on that specific type of pump.

In summary, I really really like their perfume. The quality of the perfume it self is not bad. But if I'm going to ever buy a Victoria's Secret perfume again in the future, I'll definitely stay away from the vintage style pump.

Beberapa bulan yang lalu pas gue lagi jalan-jalan di salah satu mall di dekat kost, gue melihat sebuah banner bertuliskan 'diskon hingga 50%' di depan tokonya Victoria's Secret. Gue sebelumnya belum pernah beli apapun dari brand mereka jadi pas lihat banner itu gue pikir 'kenapa ga?'.Akhirnya setelah melihat-lihat gue memutuskan buat beli Love Me Eau De Parfum. Harga aslinya sekitaran 1.2 juta untuk 100ml, tapi setelah diskon gue harus bayar hanya sekitar 670ribu.

Botolnya lucu banget, dia pakai pump yang model vintage terus ada huruf besar-besar disekitar botolnya. Gue juga suka banget sama baunya, perpaduan antara bau manis dan bau bunga. Dan wanginya juga tahan lama, suami gue bilang dia masih bisa cium baunya bahkan setelah gue pulang kerja.

TAPI, kualitas botolnya mengecewakan banget. Setelah 1 bulan gue pake pumpnya rusak! Pas ditekan-tekan cuma udara aja yang keluar, parfumnya ga.. Bener-bener bukan kualitas yang gue harapkan dari barang yang harganya 1.2juta sih (walaupun gue beli pas diskon tapi tetep aja kan itu barang baru, bukan bekaaas). Gue kecewa banget. Tapi untung botolnya bisa dibuka jadi paling ga gue bisa pake parfumnya dengan jari (walaupun nyusahin..).

Gue baca cukup banyak sih orang-orang yang komplain mengenai hal yang sama di web-web belanja luar negeri. Walaupun model botolnya ga sama tapi sama-sama pakai vintage pump. Kayaknya Victoria's Secret harus memberi perhatian lebih sih buat bikin kualitas pump yang lebih bagus, terutama buat yang model vintagenya.

Kesimpulannya, gue suka banget sama parfumnya, ga ada masalah dengan kulitas parfum mereka. Tapi kalo di lain waktu gue mau beli parfum lagi dari Victoria's Secret kayaknya gue bakal jauh-jauh sih dari botol yang pake vintage pump.

Hidden cozy place in Bali - Lok Lok

Hidden cozy place in Bali - Lok Lok

Posted by Monica L on 5:17 AM in Bali, Cozy, Lok-lok, Restaurant, Review,

Several days ago, my husband said that he found a small food court next to his gym. Well, he has been going to that gym for a month and he found that place just now. I know, his ability to observe is really bad.

So, the next day we decided to go to that place after work. It's located in an alley at Sunset Road. Actually, I've went past that place for like hundreds of times, yet I never knew there's this interesting place.. I was so surprised when I got there because it looks like common housing alley from the main road.

The food court is inside Harris Hotel's area. When I entered, Lok-lok was the first place that caught my eyes. It's really cozy with fake grass flooring and colorful bean bag chairs.

The price's also cheap. Everything cost 7k IDR. It's a self service resto so you can pick whatever you want and you can choose either to boil or grill or deep fried it. I suggest to try to deep-fried their mushroom and tofu skin, and eat them with their spicy soup.. oh yuum!

The food is halal, so for Muslim fellows, don't worry! ;)

You can also buy foods from the other merchant and bring it to Lok-lok's area. For more info, follow their Facebook page here.

Bon appetit!

Ceritanya beberapa hari yang lalu suami gue menemukan pujasera kecil di dekat tempat dia biasa nge-gym. Sebenernya dia udah pergi ke gym itu selama sebulan sih, tapi dia baru menemukan tempat itu sekarang. Iya, kemampuan observasinya memang buruk 

Jadi besoknya kami langsung mencoba kesana sepulang kerja. letaknya ada di gang di Sunset Road. Gue sebenernya sudah melewati gang itu beratus-ratus kali tapi ga pernah tau ada tempat makan seru gitu. Agak terkejut juga waktu kesana karena dari depan kelihatannya kayak gang perumahan biasa.

Pujasera ini letaknya ada di kawasa hotel Harris. Waktu gue masuk, si Lok-lok ini yang pertama menarik perhatian gue . Tempatnya nyaman banget dengan lantai fake grass dan kursi-kursi bean bag.

Harga makanannya pun terjangkau. Semuanya seharga 7ribu rupiah. Kalian bisa pilih sendiri mau makan apa aja, terus bisa pilih mau di rebus, goreng atau bakar. Gue saranin cobain buat goreng jamur dan kulit tahunya, terus dimakan pake kuah pedas yang mereka sediakan... aduh enaknya!

Disini makanannya juga halal, jadi buat yang muslim ga perlu khawatir ya! ;)

Kalian juga bisa beli makanan dari stand-stand lain disana terus makan di area Lok-lok, diperbolehkan kok :) Untuk info lebih lanjut kalian bisa follow facebook pagenya disini.

Selamat makan!
