September-October Haul!


Hi everyone! This is actually a collection of the items that I've purchased last September and this month of October. Just want to share it with you! :)

I bought this compact hair dryer last month. And would you believe, I got this for only 150php ($4)? Yes! 150 Pesos! First of all, this caught my eye since it's purple and I instantly fell in love with it.. not taking into consideration about the durability. Lo and behold, the first time I've used it, I was amazed coz it performs really well. This has cool setting too! Yeah, I don't need a "heavy duty" one to dry my hair! LOL This is such a steal! Love it! :) Note: This is my first time to own a hair dryer. LOL!

I got this ceramic compact straightener from Vidal Sassoon. This costs around 1,500php but since they're on sale, I got this for only 1,300php ($30). At first, I was hesitant about the price coz I'm not looking for a "heavy duty" pricey curling iron. Yes, curling iron! LOL I decided to try this out since this is a 2-in-1 straightener/ curler plus this is the most affordable in the mall. LOL! Hmmm.. if only they have this in purple, it would be perfect! :( Anyway, this works really great, it has an on and off switch and a light indicator. And it has a 2-year warranty too! :)

I got this anti-tangle comb from Landmark last week for only 49.75php ($1).At first glance, this one looks like a straightener but the comb is actually noticeable so it caught my attention. It looks nice and pretty cool. Hmm..it works great as well! :)

 I purchased this c-lium fiber in capsules from Watson's. The box contains 50 capsules for around 100php ($2). This is not my first time to take this product. Last year, I have tried this in the husk form but I just couldn't take the texture and taste, so I've stopped. This is actually way convenient since it's in the capsule form. The downside is actually the recommended dosage, 5 capsules twice a day? seriously?! That's too much! When I've tried the husk form, one sachet is enough per day. Uggghhh. I decided to take 2 capsules per day, LOL!

 This water-based facial moisturizer from Celeteque works great. I've consumed a 50mL already. I've decided to get this in 100mL this time since it's on sale! I got this for only 188php($4) from the regular price of 209php. Yeah, not much difference. LOL

 I got this San San BB cream from HBC for only 149.75php ($3) Actually, I've been waiting for this for the longest time. Every time I visit HBC outlets, this product is out of stock. So, I was totally excited when I got this especially that it's in the shade Natural, not the Beige which is too dark.

I got this San San concealer from HBC as well for only 80php (around $2). I also have this in Natural but that's too light so, I decided to get another one in Beige. The shade is perfect on my skin. This one works great as long as you use it minimally, it tends to crease up if you apply a lot on your under eyes.


YAY! Artist Studio brushes!!! I can say that these brushes are amazing! I own a couple of brushes and I was impressed so I've decided to add more to my collection. They works really great, super soft and non- shedding plus they're sooo affordable! love them! It was perfect, they're on sale when I purchased these. :)

From left to right: liner brush @ 36.75php (80cents), concealer brush @45.75php ($1), slanted eyeliner brush @45.75php ($1)

From left to right: slanted fluffy brush @ 27.75php (64 cents) , soft dome brush @ 54.75php ($1)

I got this Essence long lasting eye pencil for 150php($3). I was originally looking for a white auto eye liner from L.A. colors  however it was out of stock that time so I just decided to pick up this one from Essence instead in the shade,silver. The shade is pretty as well. Long lasting indeed! :)

I got this lip pencil from Nichido in the shade Rosette for only 90php($2). This is my first time to own one and based on the reviews online, I must try this one! The shade is pretty neutral and the pencil glides well on the lips, make sure to exfoliate beforehand.


I got this pretty false eyelashes from Landmark for only 19.75php (45 cents). It contains the lash glue already! So excited to try these out!

I got these hair velcros for only 19.75php (45 cents) from Landmark. This packet contains 8 pieces, 2 pieces per color (blue,white,black and pink). These are important whenever I am doing my makeup to prevent my hair from disturbing it.


I got this facial sponge from Landmark for only 14.75php (30 cents). This is just for basic retouching.

I got this eyebrow tweezers for 113php (around $3). It has a container which makes it super cute,right? if only they have this in purple..I would be so happy! :) It works great, too!

This neon yellow nail polish from Caress is super cute! I got this for only 22.75php (50 cents).

I just recently discovered that I can use this NYX powder blush in taupe as a contour powder so I've ordered this online for 260php ($6). I'm so excited to try this out! :)

I also ordered this NYX jumbo eye pencil in Milk online for 180php ($4). This would be perfect in brightening the eyes. So excited to use this!:)

Last but not the least, I got this ELF cream eyeliner in black for 160php (around $4) online. I've read so many raves about this product so I've decided to give it a try.

So, these are the latest addition to my makeup collection. Share your thoughts on the comment box below.:)

mini haul part 2

Hi everyone! It's been a while, I knowww... So sorry! :(

Anyway, just wanna share with you these stuff that I got recently. :) So excited for these, actually! *wink


Let's start with the ones that I've purchased...
YES! This is the K-Palette Zero Kuma Cover Control Concealer in 03 that is worth a whopping Php895 at Beauty Bar, hoping that this is really what I need for my under eyes! This is actually a birthday gift to myself. And to tell you honestly, I somehow regret purchasing this. Yeah, it really makes a difference but it just won't stop creasing! Ugghh, quite disappointing..plus, it doesn't stay on even for 8 hours! I don't understand why I got this for Php895 while when I've checked on their website, this is only for Php795, I don't know if it's because of the additional shipping fee when you order it online.

Yup, the tube only contains 13g of the product. The fact that the tube is not filled completely really pisses me off. The tube is so tiny and yet it's not full! *sigh

Forgive me for the rant. LOL Anyway, let's talk about the other stuff that I've got.

Yes, it's the Monistat Anti-Chafing Gel that I use as a foundation primer. *wink I 've ordered this from The Vanity Zone for Php400.This product may be from Monistat but it is definitely NOT FOR YEAST INFECTIONS, so STOP saying it's GROSS to apply it on your face! :D The tube contains 42g of product and this really goes a loooong way since I just need a pea-size for the entire face already. :)

See? It's not intended to treat Yeast Infections. Are you convinced now? LOL

Let's now go to the fun part. YAY I won the third prize in The Vanity Zone's Grand Anniversary Giveaway!!!

Well, honestly I would be happier if I won the first or second prize. LOL


Kidding aside, these stuff are great. Thank you so much The Vanity Zone for these! I love them! :)

New Addition to my Collection

Hi everyone! Sorry for being MIA, I'm a night shift worker so, probably you can imagine the haggardness in me! lol

And yeah, 2 more days before my birthday! hmmm..I'll be out of town so, I'm not sure yet if I can post an entry this weekend.

I just wanna share with you the new stuff  I got this week from an auction in facebook. *wink


Honestly, I'm really excited for these... well, yeah...because of the raves that I've read about them! haha

Covergirl LashBlast Luxe (Mega Volume Shimmering) Mascara in Black Platinum 

It's kinda weird (unusual)  for a mascara to have shimmers (glitters) on it and this one doesn't have a lot! I mean, the shimmer is barely noticeable and that's what I love about it plus this really volumizes my lashes! I'm totally in love with this! Take note, I got this for only Php225, such a steal! :D I saw one online shop selling this for Php350.

Loreal Magic Perfecting Base

At first, I was hesitant to get this since based on my research, this one just provides a smooth finish & hide pores; not considered as a primer so, It won't help your makeup lasts longer. This one is good enough for me. Honestly, the first time I've tried this, it made my T-zone oil up faster but when I tried to apply just a small amount of it and blended thoroughly, it solved the issue! A little goes a long way with this product. I got this for only Php350. Other shops sell this for Php500.

Revlon Grow Luscious Eye liner in Onyx

I got this because I need a black eye liner and this one also promises to enhance the lashes! It's very creamy which is a good thing however I guess that's the reason why the lead wears down pretty quickly. I love its staying power and how black it is. I got this for only Php175,such a steal! :)

I'm thinking of getting the Dolly Wink liquid eye liner next...Hmm and still waiting for the delivery of  Monistat Anti-chafing Gel <3

ELF HD Blush & Small Stipple Brush


Hi everyone! How was your day? Hope you had a good one...:)

I just received the ELF products that I've ordered from The Vanity Zone. I'm quite excited for this, actually. *wink

I got these for Php200 ($4) each , fair enough coz I heard they cost around Php 300+ in malls. Plus, The Vanity Zone is one of my trusted online shops. If you are looking for a hassle-free transaction and wants to ensure the authenticity of cosmetics and in search for competitive prices, you better check them out! :) I also got my ELF 32-piece eyeshadow palette in everyday and ELF eyelid primer in sheer from them.

SMALL Stipple Brush it is! LOL I was kinda surprised when I saw this, honestly. :) But this is totally a good brush! Later,you'll find out.. *wink



This one is also surprisingly SMALL. LOL A lot says the size is quite reasonable coz this product is very pigmented and would definitely goes a looonnggg wayy! Hmm..Let's see.

I almost got crazy when I tried swatching this hd blush. The pump wasn't able to dispense the product!!! Ugh! I almost contacted the seller thinking of maybe, I just got a defective product. I almost pumped 30 times! I just got relieved when a tiny amount came out, finally! It's good that I didn't give up pumping, huh? or else I'll be returning this and would wait for the replacement in the mail *sigh.

I should get over it, I know! haha Anyway, this ELF HD Blush is absolutely pigmented and needs a really good blending or else you'll look like a clown? I don't even want to imagine! :) And the Small Stipple Brush really helps to blend the product thoroughly! It just makes the application easier and not messy compared when you use your fingers. 

I'm in love with this shade, Headliner. This one is the lightest shade and actally I was confused whether to choose Superstar or this one. But I decided to try this one first since I just want a sheer application.

Would definitely try this on tonight and let's see about its lasting power. *wink

Ladies, have you tried this ELF HD Blush yet? Which shade did you get? How's it working for you? Feel free to post your comments :)

My First REVLON LIP PRODUCTS

Hi everyone! How's your day?

Today, I'll be showing you my first ever lip products from Revlon. *wink


It was just delivered this morning. By the way, I got these from an auction in facebook, and of course before bidding I verified first if these products are US authentic, and they are for sure.


I got these for only Php225.00 each. Such a steal, right? coz from what I've read, these cost like Php300+ in the market right now. :)

Let's now check out each of these, shall we?


Lovely color, I must say. And take a look at the cap's design, so cute!

Take a look at the swatch:


From left to right: one swipe, three swipes. The picture on the left was taken under a normal light while the picture on the right was taken using flash. The pigmentation is I think, just right for me, I want it to appear as sheer as possible, hmm.. it still depends on the event/occasion of course! :)

Let's now take a look at the other product.

Looking at the color, made me say, "It's just a usual red lipstick".

But, let's take a look at the swatch:

This just made me say, "Oh, it's not a usual red after all, it's somewhat coral-ly pink-y red!" Very interesting color! :)

I'll try these out for sure! Will give you an update the soonest. *wink
