4. Fang Tatis
Entertainer & Entrepreneur
What are you doing lately?
Been busy in the “kitchen” cooking for new products from our cosmetics line @nood.cosmetics. If you haven’t known, we just launched our very first lip collection called #LipWarPaint and it comes in six different shades. And now we’re creating new products for the whole face. Alongside that, I’m starting to do workshops for my second single, which is exciting!
Who’s your all-time favorite Indonesian IG account(s) and why?
All time fav Indonesian IG: @Tahilalats. Why? COS THEY’RE GENIUS and I could scroll their feeds up and down for hours. Yes, I like to laugh and laughter is my instant getaway for happiness. I’m “Receh” like that (we feel you, sis).
What’s your favorite place(s)?
My current favorite place in Indonesia beside when I’m on stage is Sanctuary Wellness Center (Menteng, Central Jakarta) I am pretty much obsessed with their treatment, because I live in Jakarta where traffic is insane and sometimes you get tense easily just by having to get to one destination to another. So, on my free time I like to spoil myself rotten! And Sanctuary has it all, from their natural method, essential oils (Young & Living), because I’m down for anything for my well-being and personal holistic things.
What’s your favorite Indonesian local brand(s)?
Fav local brand is Nood Cosmetics and not because I’m one of the founder, but seriously up until now I’m still surprised of how good the formula is on your lips! And anything from Studio Moral, I love love how bold their design is!
Do you have a second account on your social media? If yes, what’s the use?
I dont have second account for social media but I have the access for @nood.cosmetics Instagram. I like to check on that on a daily basis because it’s fun to engage and to understand your customers.
