December 2015 Haul & Mini Review

It's that time of the year again, when people would always find an excuse to shop and buy everything they want. Hi Bonus! I mean, Christmas Season! 

It's been quite sometime since I did a haul or even post a blog, but I am here now. I'm still a cheapskate, i'll still go for an affordable price but def not for a cheap quality. 

I'll start off with my 2016 Planner, I bought from National Bookstore. I used to buy planners from Papelmerotti. The one that's in a brown paper and cute front covers, but it's too small. I dont think I can properly write down schedules and to do list with those. 

I was gonna purchase one from 168 Mall, but the maroon/deep red color of this planner caught my eye. 😍

This is my first time to have this kind of.. Wait how do I describe this... this kind of adult-ish / professional planner. 

Here are what the planner has inside

Of course, personal information:

Special Dates to remember plus 2017 calendar

The planner itself.

And bigger boxes just in case you cant fit your schedule on the small boxes from the prior page. 

( I DONT KNOW WTH HAPPENED AND THE REST OF MY POST ARE MISSING OR HAS BEEN CUT. :(( i hope you guys can also view the pictures now.. )) 

But, I'll be sharing with you two of my holygrails when it comes to skincare. 

First one is from Dickinson's Witch Hazel. It's their Pore Perfecting Toner. Actually they have two variants the other one is an astringent which I think, made my skin dry, so I decided to use the pore perfecting one again and just stick with it forever. Lol

I got this for Php79 at Healthy Options, Sm Mla. I dont have any cons about this! It does it job and claims well! 

I am inlove with Human Heart Nature's products. In fact, if you guys read my blog you'll know I did try their shampoos and moisturizer. I'm still using them up to now.  the next one is their Human Heart Nature's Hand and Foot Salve in Eucalyptus. 

I'll rave about this! It does great for moisturizing and it also has this relaxing scent! Just be sure to get the Eucalyptus variant. That's 2-in-1!!!! I really suggest you guys try this! 

On to the makeups!

I was only going to buy an eyeshadow base but because matte eyeshadows are my thing right now, I bought this Catrice eyeshadow. I'm eyeing on Make Up Revolution's Ultra flawless matte eyeshadows. Saving up for that! 

Here is Essence I Love Stage Eyeshadow Base:

Php 229, Sm Dept Store.

And Catrice Absolute eyeshadow in Go, Charlie Brown! Php 150. Reg price of: Php249

Oh I did a mini review/first impression about these two:

Eyeshadow base: creamy consistency, a little goes a long way

Eyeshadow: creamy, smooth and matte! 

With primer: It made it look more of a warm brown rather than just a ashy brown comparing to the swatch under it. 

I did this at 12am of Dec 13. I woke up at 9am. You can still see a hint of brown on my wrist. Longevity is great and it made the eyeshadow more opaque. I would suggest these two for you girls to try out. If you're on a budget, nagkukuripot or just wanna be a wise buyer. Who doesnt right?! 

Oh and a disclaimer: Just because these products work for me, it wont mean it would always and also work for you. Just keep in mind that we all have different skin types. I suggest to ALWAYS search for reviews about the product you'll be buying and testing out. 😉

Until next post,

thy! 

Certified Make-up Hoarder Me x February Haul x First Time Winner

First Time Winner

I am more of a Lipstick kind of girl.  I own lipsticks more than I own eyeshadow pallettes and face makeups.  I dont know why, but maybe because they are more attractive and affordable.  I will be showing you my February Mini Haul! :)

Last January 18, (yes I still remember the date because it’s my firstime pre-ordering lipsticks) I pre-ordered (redundant much?!) Wet N Wild Megalast Lipsticks for me and for my friends and I received it last Thursday! 02/20/14.

.  

 I have been in the search of that perfect peachy pink lipstick that Heart Evangelista wore in her Teleserye “The Legacy”.  Wow, I am amazed with my memory ! :p  So i started searching for it, then i found the just peachy shade of the line then searched for a good online shop that sells it on a reasonable price. and by reasonable i mean, affordable!  In the US, it cos for a dollar or two and I wont buy it here with a 50% or more mark up, no, that is not ME! :P

I came across these trusted online stores that sell it for less than 150! Wew! 

• theprimppad.com which sells it for 148!
• nyxwholesaleph.comsells it for 115. YES, you read it right! the downside is, it is for pre-order, so you have to wait for A MONTH to receive your order.  But for me, that is fine since first, I am on the “tipidity”mode and I dont really need to use the lippies immediately.

Thank you, nyxwholesaleph! I’ll surely be back to buy more! <3

I have tried and bought in these online stores. They are LEGIT, TRUSTED, VALID, what else? lol.  

The shades that I bought for me are:

Just Peachy, 2 Ravin Raisin (The other one is for Aleli Jean! <3 ) and Pinkerbelle.  I will be posting the shades swatches nextime I blog.

My friends bought Cherry Bomb and red velvet.  I’ll try to ask them to take a picture of them wearing the lippies. lol :)) 

Second, Essence Lip Liner in In the Nude.  I have read somewhere that a lipliner is a must in your beauty kit.  It helps in outlining your natural lips and also helps your lipstick last longer.  It costed me for only Php79! :) 

  My Elf Cream Eyeliner has dried out for awhile now and I revived it by putting baby oil but because of that it made it smudgy and not water proof.  As usual, before buying a product, I searched for reviews about good gel eyeliners with reasonable price again. lol.  San-San’s gel eyeliner was recommended by most bloggers so i gave it a try.  I tried it and i am satisfied that it didn’t smudged!  We really have good makeups in the country! <3  

So goodbye, Elf that i bought for like almost 300 and lasted for like 3 months only and hello san san! :)  Eversince, it dried out, that is when I started buying my make ups online! :p Don’t let the mall prices fool you! :p but ofcourse, make sure the online shop you are buying is legit! okay? okay.

Then, I also bought a hand cream. It’s not really just for the hands.  I bought this to try out because my hands are dry. Truth be told.  and I just thought that I should start taking care of my hands, since I may be shaking many hands in the very near future! ;) Hopefully! 

Oh, and I won a contest on IG featuring PAC Philippines and Ms.Say Tioco! I just posted a photo inspired by one of Say’s make up tutorials.  The prizes are a Lip Color Palette Sample and a Make over Gift Cheque worth 1,500! I haven’t received them yet and I am excited!  PAC is medium-high end cosmetic and that will be my very first time to have that kind of line. :”“”> 

I am in a happy mood right now and that’s because of this ice cream. lol. cheers! till next blog! <3
