MAC Haul
Before I start with the post, I would like to apologize for the quality of the pictures — I know the lighting is so bad! I had no place else to shoot so I decided to do it in our dining area.
Anyway, I know I told you guys before that I don’t usually buy high end makeup, but I received an SSI Purple Card for my birthday, and obviously, I decided to use it on MAC products.



Studio Finish concealer in NC30
I almost hit pan on my Boi-ing concealer, so I’m trying this out to see which one does the job better!

See Sheer lustre lipstick

Lustering lustre lipstick

I don’t know if you could see the difference, but See Sheer (left) belongs to the red family and Lustering (right) is leaning towards pink. I’ve had these shades in my wishlist for quite a while now so I’m really happy that I finally have them!

And last but definitely not the least, Immortal Flower blush from the recent Tres Cheek collection! I pre-ordered this from Carefree Shopper and it just arrived this morning. The color is absolutely gorgeous and is perfect for summer/spring!
There you have it! I hope you’re not getting tired of reading haul posts just yet cause I have a couple more to come when I arrive in the States! My flight’s this coming Friday and I am beyond excited <3
P.S. The photos are not post-processed to stay true to the actual color of the products.
Watsons, The Face Shop & Forever 21 Haul


1. Marionnaud N33 Foundation Brush & 2. Marionnaud N37 Crease Brush: I’m starting to love Marionnaud brushes!! They are really cheap and of good quality!
3. Garnier Anti-Imperfections Cooling Roll-on: I’ve been testing this product for a couple of days now and it actually dries out my pimples fast! Thanks for introducing this product to me, Issa <3
4. Fashion 21 Eyeshadow Trio (04): Scouting for neutral eyeshadows was extremely hard since almost all of the brands have their own but I’m so glad I got the one from Fashion 21. The shadows have good pigmentation and they don’t crease even after long hours of staying on your lids.
Edit: After researching about this product, I found out that it won the Cosmo 2009 Beauty Awards! :)
5. Ever Bilena Pro Flawless Finish Foundation: I was tired of my usual tinted moisturizer so I decided to purchase this one. I have yet to try it. :)
6. Garnier Lightning Peel-Off Mask

7. Forever 21 (Love & Beauty) Eyelash Curler: Okay, I admit.. I’m a bit of a slave to consumerism that’s why I bought this one. The packaging and the design caught my eye (it has little purple studs all over)!
8. The Face Shop CO-Q10 Essential Mask Sheet: I was’t really planning on buying anything from The Face Shop but I needed to break a bill so I got these. I’m trying them out tonight!
Nyx Haul

Finally got my package today! <3 I got a 10 Color Eyeshadow Palette in Caviar and Bubbles (also known as Champagne and Caviar), a skin tone eye shadow base and two round lipsticks: Fig & B52
I’d love to swatch them, but I don’t have a decent camera at the moment.
P.S. My friends and I are planning to resell Nyx products soon, so please watch out for that! :)
P.P.S. I got these products from Chic Cosmetics and The Style Quarter
SM Watsons Haul

1. E.L.F. Total Face Brush
2. E.L.F. Eyeshadow Brush
3. Maybelline Baby Lips SPF 20 Lip Balm in Smoothing Cherry - I got this cause I was tired of my usual Chapstick. I’m glad I bought it cause it’s actually very moisturizing and soothing :)
4. Maybelline The Falsies Volume Express Waterproof Mascara - I haven’t tried this yet but I heard it’s great!
5. E.L.F. Mechanical Eyelash Curler
6. Maybelline Make Up Remover
7. Benefit Cosmetics Boi-ing Concealer (01 Light) - I didn’t get this from Watsons but I included it anyway cause I got it just yesterday. This concealer does wonders!
8. Maybelline Clear Smooth Shine Free Blush in Fresh Coral
9. Olay Pink Purifying Care Bar Soap - I decided to break free from Dove so I’m giving this a try
10. Nichido Pressed Powder in Gorgeous Salmon

And just like that, I’m back to my old shopaholic self. I tried to make it a point to not splurge so much on clothes this year but clearly, I failed. That just goes to show how bad I am in controlling myself :-( However (!!!!) my purchases made me a happy banana so I guess that’s okay, lol.
Here are my recent buys: nautical knit bodycon dress from Archive Clothing, cream sleeveless polo from Thrift Queen, lace top from The Thrifty Boutique, black floral skirt and black long sleeved top from Fashion Dime Manila, orange tribal print top from Greenhills Tiangge, floral dress from Topshop, soft matte lip cream in Monte Carlo and round lipstick in Spell Bound from Nyx

Bought two new books even if I’m not yet finished reading Clockwork Prince! I started reading Before I Fall yesterday though, and I liked it so I think I’m gonna have to ditch Clockwork Prince first :p
Surprise, surprise!
A week ago, I purchased a Tiffany blue satin case and a keyboard guard for my laptop online. This morning, I got a text from Johnny Air that my package from Amazon finally arrived and I could pick it up at their branch anytime today!
After dropping by their branch, Ice texted me that he bought me Moonleaf Tea Shop’s 2012 planner! <3 I love how simple and elegant the planner is and I love the coupons that come with it!




I placed this in the palm area of my laptop to cover up the little scratches. This sticker’s made by my friend, Ina, and she told me that she dedicates this design to me and my friend Anj. Haha! You can take a peek at her other designs on her Tumblr account :-)

Came home to two lovely packages today <3

This pair of nude pumps is from Wildberry Manila! I’ve been searching for the perfect pair of nude pumps since forever and I’m glad I found it already! The thing is though, it doesn’t fit me so well so I’m thinking of giving it to my sister or selling it. Are any of you guys interested? That pair’s a size 8! :)

A peterpan collar dress from Cheapest Stuff. I’m thinking of wearing this as a top though.. like I do with most of my dresses :p

Ahhhh I think my love for online shopping is coming back!
