Haul Post–The Face Shop

Do you like haul posts? I do! It’s exciting for me to see shopping bags and of course, the stuff inside them whenever I read blogs. I don’t think it’s yabang or showing off. I think it’s quite informative as I can see what’s out there, what’s new and more often than not, the cost of a product. Isn’t it frustrating to see something you like online and then when you get to the actual store, you’re disappointed because you can’t afford it? I’ve had my share of those.

I bought a few things from The Face Shop on Friday night. I was down on stocks and so I had to replenish them.

The Face Shop Haul

I bought my favorite cotton swabs, 3 for Php75. The original price is Php45 per pack. These are the best cotton swabs for me. I only buy them when they’re all bundled up. It helps me to be gentle when cleaning my ears. The wooden handle will break if there’s too much pressure. My friend P, a guy, used to break these things when cleaning his ears. He learned to be more careful because of these especially when he had some ear infection because of too much cleaning.

I also bought my favorite makeup base in lavender and a white nail polish for my nail stamp art. The makeup base is around Php399 and the polish is Php95

The Mung Bean Facial Foam is something new that I’m trying. I’m almost done with My Etude House facial wash (which still needs a decent review). I will post a review about this soon. It costs around Php234-Php295.

If you’re a blogger and a reader of this blog, I’d like to see some of your haul posts! You can leave a link on the comments. Happy shopping!

    The lavender make-up base looks intriguing, thanks for posting the prices as well. I'm hoping I can go hauling this payday.

Used to the Last Drop: The Ones I’d Already Told You About

  There’s something particularly satisfying about finishing a product you’ve already written about. Not testing it. Not forming first impressions. Not wondering whether I’ll still like it three weeks from now. Finished. My Molang Honey sheet masks and this body scrub both made it all the way to the end. (Finally for the Molang sheet masks, right?) I’ve reviewed both before, so I won’t review them all over again here. But perhaps using something until there is nothing left to use is its own kind of review. Beauty products come through my bathroom rather frequently. Some are lovely for a week. Some get pushed to the back of a shelf. Some simply stop working for me. And then there are the ones that quietly disappear because I kept reaching for them. Maybe an empty container is the shortest review of all. I liked it enough to finish it. If you want to read my thought about these products, just type them on my search bar. —- With elegance and quiet fire, Lady E Founder, Glow by Lady E...

The Pleasure of Leaving It Behind

  I really liked this dress. Enough that I stood there looking at it for far longer than necessary, having that familiar little debate with myself. It was black. Simple. Very me. I could already imagine how I would wear it. There was only one problem. The fabric was thick. And perhaps in another climate, or another version of my life, that wouldn’t matter very much. But I live in the Philippines. We’re going through El Niño. Heat and I are already not particularly good friends, and my histamine sensitivity has made me even less willing to wear something that might leave me uncomfortable simply because it looks good. Still, I stood there. Because sometimes walking away from something we like is strangely difficult, even when we already know it isn’t right for us. We start negotiating. Maybe I’ll only wear it indoors. Maybe the fabric isn’t that thick. Maybe I’ll regret leaving it behind. Then I realized I was trying awfully hard to convince myself to buy something my body had alrea...

Soul Notes: For Your Journal Tonight

Come sit with me for a while. I have my journal open, and tonight I’ve been thinking about something I suspect I do more often than I realize. I turn healing into another thing I need to accomplish. I want to know when I’ll be over something. When I’ll stop thinking about it. When something that hurt will finally stop hurting. When I’ll feel like myself again. And somewhere along the way, healing quietly becomes another deadline. Another invisible date on a calendar. Another thing I can somehow be late for. But maybe healing doesn’t work particularly well under project management. Maybe there are things I will understand quickly and things I’ll have to revisit again and again. Maybe I’ll feel completely fine one day and unexpectedly tender the next. That doesn’t mean I’ve gone backwards. It means I’m still moving through it. I remember one day, many years ago, when I had fibromyalgia. I lived in constant pain. I just couldn’t get a good day. And then one day, in the office...
