HAUL Yeah Baby! XII (168 Mall Adventure)

I said in my last haul blog post that I hope I can control myself from buying stuff even just until this month ends because I'm trying to save up some money and now here I am with another haul! Just so you know, this is totally okay and fine by me, with all of my heart (hahaha) because most of the stuff I'm going to show you were bought with my Mother's money! I am a one happy daughter! :-D

Yesterday, I spent the whole day with my Mother, my older sister and my boyfriend. We ate lunch at Chef Vince and then we went shopping at 168 Mall. 168 Mall is a local mall here in the Philippines and it is one of the go-to places if you want to buy cheap and affordable stuff such as clothes, bags, shoes, and pretty much everything! We went there basically to buy my sister a new pair of shoes because 2nd semester had already started. By the way, I think my sister changes shoes every freakin' semester! LOL!

I actually bought only a few stuff but the highlight of this haul is my very first train case which I only got for PHP500! Yes, you've read it correctly, PHP500. But you'll know why it's super cheap if you keep on reading so please do. ;-p

1. EARRINGS!

I bought these super cheap but edgy and sophisticated earrings. I was supposed to get only the feather earrings but the sales lady said it's two for PHP150 so I picked another pair and I chose that sophisticated brown drop earrings! May dagdag na naman sa collection ko!

2. MAYBELLINE NEW YORK COSMETICS (Blushers and Mascara)

I was checking out this toy store to find a gift for my niece because it was her birthday yesterday. Unfortunately, I didn't buy anything because the toys there are all original (so that means expensive) and I don't have enough money to buy what I really wanted for my niece. When I stepped outside the store, a certain rack of random items caught my attention. Then I saw on the second layer some Maybelline New York goodies! I immediately asked the store owner if those are authentic and she said yes and she even said that those Maybelline cosmetics were shipped to them weekly. I called my sister and we checked it and it's obviously authentic. However, they are only selling blushers and mascaras. I didn't even think twice, I started choosing which shade of blushers I'm going to buy. And oh, the mascara that they have? theColossal Volum' Express! It was only priced at PHP250. I've been dying to have theColossal mascara even though I know it's just the same with theMagnum mascara which I already have. LOL!

I bought theColossal, one blusher (Romantic Plum) and one light bronzer (Salsa Sun). My sister also bought a couple of MNY stuff. I got the blush and bronzer for only PHP200 each.

3. EARRING HOLDER

I love earrings. I've been collecting earrings for more than a year now. Before I started collecting makeup for my makeup business, I was collecting earrings and I actually became obsessed with it. It's my guilty pleasure next to makeups! ;-) I have so many earrings right now and I've been looking for an earring holder to, well, to hold them! Hahaha! I found this earring holder at 168 mall and got it for only PHP75. The earring you're seeing below are just 1/4 of my collection. ;-p

4. SILVER MEDIUM SIZED 4-LAYERED TRAIN CASE

Well, this train case have three extra layers, the fourth layer is the bottom part. Like what I've said above, I only got this for PHP500. It was originally priced at PHP600 but my Mom is so good at haggling prices. Hahaha! I bought this train case for temporary use only. For PHP600? Come on! It's very, very cheap. The quality is not that good but it's good enough to carry the things I need to bring in a makeup gig, at least for now. My Dad promised to buy me a better one soon. Every time I open the layers of this train case, I'm really, really scared that I might break it off so soon because the layers are not that durable. But so far, it's okay naman!

The reason why it's cheap? Just refer to the photo below. Natatanggal na 'yung dikit nung edges sa loob.

Another thing that I hate about this? It comes with a key but it doesn't even work at all! The key doesn't fit to the key hole! Naglolokohan ba tayo, p're?

But, overall it's still awesome. I've got exactly what I've paid for, so what do you expect pa? 'Di ba?

And that's it!

HAUL Yeah Baby! XI (SEMBREAK 2011 HAUL)

Hello my dear dudettes (and dudes?)! I'm back with another awesome haul! I call this the Sembreak Haul because I bought all of these items during this school year's semestral break but just to be clear, I'm not a student anymore. I graduated two years ago. :-)

1. Zooey Storage Solution - This is actually a spoon and fork/tootbrush storage but the reason why I bought this is to store my makeup brushes. I loveett! I got this from SM Dasmarinas Department Store. (Any SM Department Stores)

2. St. Ives Apricot Scrub Invigorating and St. Ives Body Polish Mineral Therapy

- I'm loving both of these products from St. Ives. The apricot scrub is pretty famous so no need to say much about that but the body polish is new to me. But I don't think it's their new product, maybe it was just my first time to see it. Wait for my review about this awesome product! I bought both of these at Sta.Lucia East Grand Mall Department Store. (SM Dept. Stores, Watsons, Groceries)

3. Klik Nail Polish in Black Velvet - The name is kinda weird since the color of this nail polish is brown and not black. I bought this because a few days before we went to Sta. Lucia, I had my nails done and the salon have this nail polish and it was what I chose for my nails. I loved it that's why when I saw this in the department store, I didn't even think twice, I just went ahead and grabbed it. It's only PHP16.00! (Sta.Lucia East Grand Mall Department Store)

4. Nichido Minerals / Spot Concealer Neutral - I mainly bought this concealer pencil to highlight my brow bones. I haven't tried using it to conceal any unwanted spots on my face yet but so far, I'm loving it as a highlighter for my brow bones and for helping define my brows more. I bought this also from Sta. Lucia for PHP138.00. It's a bit pricey for a pencil but it's mineral so I kinda get it. It comes in three shades: neutral, natural, and beige. (SM Dept. Stores, Watsons)

5. 4U2 Dream Girl Reflections Eye Shadow Quattro - I don't know about you but I actually love the cosmetic brand 4U2 that's why I even included it in my giveaway which by the way had just ended. I rarely know any bloggers and YT gurus who have, used or even talk about 4U2 products. Their eyeshadows and lipsticks are actually nice. I bought this eyeshadow palette for PHP194. This is smaller than you might think it is when you see the picture. It's a bit pricey for me. (SM Dept. Store, Watsons) 

See how small it is on my palm?

6. Ever Bilena Powder Blushes in Raisin and Honest - I'm currently collecting powder blushes and recently I tried my sister's Ever Bilena blush and I loved it so I bought me a couple of shades. This cost PHP150 each. (SM Department Stores, Watsons, Groceries and other Ever Bilena counters)

7. L.A. Girls Perfecting Liquid Makeup in Buff - This is a light to medium coverage which has a matte finish. I'm loving it so far and I'm actually thinking about buying other shades. This foundation comes in only 4 shades. The shade that I bought, Buff, is darker than my actual skin tone but I bought it because I thought the light shades are too light for me. Anyway, I'll still buy them soon. I can use this for my clients. I forgot the exact amount but it costs around PHP450 something. (SM Deparment Stores, Watsons, any L.A. Girls counters)

8. E.L.F. Eyelid Primer - I ran out of my E.L.F. eyelid primer so I bought another one. This is priced at PHP129.75. (SM Dept. Stores, Watsons, any E.L.F. counters)

9. Cuddles Cotton Rounds - Cotton pads are more convenient to use for applying toner or other liquid skin care on your face. This costs PHP55 from Watsons.

That's about it for my Sembreak Haul, basically my first haul this November and I really wish there would be no another haul even just until this month ends because I'm trying to save up some money for December. So, hopefully I can control myself from buying a lot of stuff! :D

Thank you for taking the time to read.

Stay awesome my dear dudettes! :)

Haul yeah baby! X (Ellana and G-Lish and Feather Earrings)

Last Saturday (October 22), we went to SM Megamall to attend the sportswear event of Baby ng Pilipinas where my boyfriend's niece is a candidate. (Read all about it HERE) After the event, I bought some stuff from Ellana Minerals and G-Lish.

Let's start first with the stuff I got from G-Lish:

The reason why I checked out g-lish's stall was because I saw a video review of this brand by Anna Tan of thecountessana in YouTube. I just like her so much that's why when I saw the g-lish's stall, it reminded me of her and decided to check out their products.

I bought the Cross the Line Eyeliner Palette which was actually included in Anna Tan's video, a lip brush with cover/cap and the Make a Wish spray mist. I love this mist. It's great for everyday use. The scent is so refreshing, kinda like a citrus smell. Actually, the mist was bought by my boyfriend. He bought one for his sister and one for me. ;-)

G-Lish Cross the Line Eyeliner Palette - PHP 100

G-Lish Lip Brush - PHP50

G-Lish Make A Wish mist - PHP 150

Let's move on to Ellana Minerals:

I originally planned to buy just three eyeshadows from Ellana. Unfortunately, I accidentally mistaken the brand new lip/cheek dot (DIVA) as a product tester! I wasn't supposed to buy it. The saleslady was actually so nice. She said it was okay and that I don't have to pay for it but I felt so embarrassed and I pity her because I know she's going to pay for that so I just bought the freakin' thing. My boyfriend was really the one who insisted to buy it since I've already touched the product! Hahaha! I guess he was embarrassed, too. Hey! It was an honest mistake! Hahaha. The good part about my mistake is that I loved the product. I've been looking for something like this to use as a highlighter for my cheeks and this one is just perfect.

Anyway, other than the lip/cheek dot DIVA copper bronze, I also bought two eyeshadows. I bought Orchid (a pretty, hot purple) and Dazzle (a very nice brown color). I chose this two shades because I'm planning to do a remake of Xteeener's Weekend Warrior Purple Eyeshadow so watch out for that! ;-)

I also bought their Eye Primer Shine-Free Matte Finish because I'm running out of my E.L.F. Eyelid Primer and also because I wanted to try out this mineral eye primer and see if it will work great on me.

 Ellana Minerals Eye Primer - PHP 150

Ellana Minerals Diva - PHP 180

Ellana Minerals Orchid and Dazzle - PHP 130 each

Ooh, I almost forgot! I also bought two pairs of feather earrings and one single feather earring from the 5th Marpe Health Expo.

Single Feather Earring - PHP 100

Pair of feather earring - PHP 50 per pair

That's it for this haul post! 'Til my next entry!

Stay awesome my dear dudettes! :)

Haul yeah baby! IX (MONDAY MALL)

MONDAY MALL!

(101711)

I just want to share with you my hauls from last Monday. I went to my favorite mall, SM North Edsa, last Monday with my Yumyum (boyfriend). I went there basically to go to BDO because my Mom asked us to do some transactions there. My boyfriend was the one who went to BDO and I just roamed around the department store's beauty section. My plan was to only buy a treatment for my hair because my hair kinda sucks these past few days. But then a few stuff caught my attention and made me spend... well, a little more. ;-p

1. SHINE MOIST KERATIN TREATMENT - This wasn't actually my first choice. I was planning to buy the henna wax from the same brand because I want something to give a little more color to my hair and the henna wax is perfect for that. But then I saw this right next to it and asked about it. It treats your hair, obviously and I really need this badly. Plus, this keratin treatment is way bigger than the henna wax but they only have small price difference. I think the henna wax costs around P220 and this keratin treatment only costs P249.

2. PURE BEAUTY SUPER BRIGHTENING EYE GEL - I learned about this product through Noe of Colorismyweapon's video. I've been depriving myself from having a good night sleep and it's really showing under and around my eyes right now, so I bought this one. I want to see if it's better than Garnier's brightening eye roll on. (P183)

SM DEPT. STORE BEAUTY SECTION, WATSONS

3. FANNY SERRANO TWO WAY CAKES in RAJAH and FANTASIA - I bought the two darkest shades of Fanny Serrano's two way cake line. The shade fantasia was my best purchase in this haul because it surprised me and I didn't know they have this shade. It's hard to find, according to the sales lady so I bought it even though I was only supposed to buy Rajah. Read my review about this powders here. (P399 each)

4. L.A. GIRL PRO.CONCEAL HD.HIGH DEFINITION CONCEALER in

CREAMY BEIGE and PURE BEIGE - I've been eyeing this concealers since the first time I saw it few months ago. I wasn't sure yet before if I should buy it but what the heck, I finally gave it a try. If I didn't, I wouldn't know how good they are! Review SOON! ;) I totally forgot how much this concealer is!

SM DEPT. STORE BEAUTY SECTION, WATSONS

5. NYX ROUGE CREAM BLUSH in BRONZE GODDESS and SLIM LIP PENCIL in PINKY -

My favorite NYX supplier had an on-hand items sale few days ago. Since I'm collecting the cream blushes and the slim lip pencils, I decided to purchase this two to add to my collections. :) If you want to order (PREORDER ONLY) and see more shades, click here.

And that's it for my Mondal Mall haul! :)

Stay awesome my dear dudettes! :)
