SuperSale Bazaar Super Haul

I wasn’t planning on going to this bazaar because I didn’t have anyone to take with me. MB has a company dinner, one of my gal pals is away with her boyfriend and I had lab work scheduled for today. But when I learned that Sol of Digital Traincase will be there with a bunch of Urban Decay Naked Palettes, I just had to go. So, being the shopaholic that I am, I pushed all my labwork to a later schedule and instead went to therapy. Retail, that is.

I was there at 10:30 am. I wanted the palette so bad that I felt like hyperventilating while getting dressed, much like Becky Bloomwood when she saw the Denny & George scarf. Sometimes when I really want something, my adrenaline rushes and I go crazy.

When I got there, the first booth that I looked for was Sol’s. Too bad, she wasn’t set up yet. So I went around and got these:

Assorted dresses from Pirouette

The floral dress needs to be altered. The straps are too long for me. Geez, I’m too small…. This is a tiny dress already. The black one is a vest.

Looked around some more and got these:

I wanted the yellow bag but it was already dirty and stained and the owner said that she didn’t have any more stocks so I got the blue one which is also fab because I have a matching skirt.

Finally, I couldn’t contain it any longer so I went to Sol’s. They weren’t finished yet but I asked if I can already look around. Sol said sure but it was still quite messy. I said no problem and shyly asked for the Naked palette. And then she asked, “gusto mo na?” Hahaha! I’m too obvious! But before that, I got these:

The elf polishes are free! Thank you Sol!


Forgot to include this in the group photo as I already applied this to my fingernails:

And because I’m a sucker for sets and palettes:

The free cuff bracelet is really just an elastic lace that was sewn. I’ve outgrown light and pink nail polish. I now gravitate toward dark/bright/glittery and bold colors.

Of course, my trip wouldn’t be complete without makeup:

Got this ELF Powder Brush which is soooo soft. Review coming.

The NYX Mood Lip Gloss is similar to Smashbox’s O-Glow.


And of course, the piece de resistance:

Can I just say that I’m the very first girl to buy a Naked Palette from the Digital Traincase! I’m one proud shopaholic! Wheeeee!

(Reviews coming for all the makeup)

Because shopping for pasalubong is caring (and I love my mom and sis):

These are for my mom and sis. They both like red and pink polish. Mom also likes golds/bronze and this is the perfect combination.

This bag is for my mom. The shade is actually more of a purple/pinkish shade. Here it looks too ube. Oh, I forgot to mention that the bags can fit a lot of stuff. They’re not too flat and that makes me a happy girl as I tend to bring 1/4 of my room with me whenever I go out.


I also got mom this:

Here’s how it looks:

You twist the cap and it grinds up the blush.

Here’s a swatch:

It’s very pretty. I applied this on her and it looks really natural.

After the bazaar, I went home and dumped my stuff and rushed to get my lab work done. Then I did a little more shopping and ate lunch at Toast Box. I’m really enjoying this eating/shopping alone thing. After that, I went home again and dumped my stuff and my sister and I went to see the dentist. Turns out, I need some surgery done and I need to wear braces because my stupid impacted tooth is pushing my front tooth. Waaaah!!! But that’s a story for another day. Let’s go back to my happy place.

Yeah, the shopping bug bit me the other day but I wasn’t able to buy anything. I was sick for two days (polymyositis strikes back), I just slept and slept but today I was back with a vengeance!  This was a very fun day indeed.

Again, special thanks goes out to Sol for making my day. Check out her online store at http://digitaltraincase.multiply.com/. She also has a blog of the same name.

The SuperSale Bazaar is until Sunday at Rockwell.  What made your Friday?

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...

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...

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...
