Mail Time! My first bareMinerals Order

Published by

I haven’t been perusing makeup counters in a while. Physically, anyway. I’ve rather been click-happy when it comes to cosmetics post-Christmas, because I had some extra money from gifts and such. I tucked most of it in the bank, but of course, I couldn’t help shopping for some items for myself, too. The trouble with shopping online is that it always feels like I have to go through hoops and needle eyes before I get my things. Two weeks into the new year and I’ve “acquired” a lot of items but haven’t gotten any of them. It’s a rather odd feeling to have less money but nothing in my hands. I suppose that’s a test of patience, which I wasn’t particularly good at to begin with, anyway. I was about to give in and run to the nearest mall to just buy something to get rid of this makeup itch, when a package arrived at my doorstep! Yay, bareMinerals! You have saved the day. I ordered these when a bunch of items I was looking …

Christmas Tag & Post-Christmas Loot

Published by

Hello, everyone! I didn’t plan on taking a holiday break, but it seems that I may have needed the break anyway. Here’s a bunch of items I picked up on a post-Christmas trip to Beauty Bar. 🙂 Most of them are things I “need”—if you notice, I don’t have many “color” picks. Clockwise from top left: K-Palette 24H Real Lasting Eyebrow Liner (01), K-Palette 24H Real Lasting Eyeliner (Waterproof, Super Black), Smashbox The Nude Lip Liner (Light), K-Palette 0 Kuma Cover Control Concealer (02 Yellow Beige) since I keep borrowing my sister’s, Bloom Secret Weapon Concealer Kit (Fair/Medium), Smashbox Image Factory Air Blush Whipped Cheek Color (Dusty Rose). For the record, I am in love with 4/6 items. The other two, I haven’t tested yet, so I’m pretty happy with my loot. Here’s a late Christmas tag by Shari of The Misty Mom! What’s your favourite thing about Christmas? Like I said above, my favorite has got to be the reunions, get-togethers, dinners and parties with friends and family members whom I haven’t seen in …

December Partial Haul: Shiseido, Maybelline & Snoe Beauty.

Published by

In case you didn’t know, there has been a weird sale going on at Watson’s and the Health and Beauty section at SM Megamall. I say weird because it’s been going on for quite a while now, and also because I have no idea what the mechanics are. Just that they all have promos and that I have found it very hard to resist said sales. Last Sunday, I took home a couple of products from Shiseido, which is a brand I’d been meaning to try, and also a mascara from Maybelline, which I have reviewed here. From Shiseido, I treated myself to a “Smoothing Lip Pencil,” a “Luminizing Satin Face Color,” and a “Lacquer Rouge,” which I feel like is similar to Revlon’s Liquid Lipsticks and Guerlain’s Rouge G L’Extraits. I got these products at 30% off (20% + 10% off if I reach Php 1,500). I believe the sale will last until the end of the month, so get on it! From Snoe Beauty, a local brand, I ordered the Poudre Phenomenon, which …
