Haul-over Wednesday

Watsons is definitely my favorite “drugstore” but now First Aid is coming in closely at second place. I was looking for a mirror to use in my bazaars last Sunday. MB and I spotted one at Forever21. It was heart-shaped. I’m not a huge fan of hearts so I was feeling so-so about it and it was Php306. I think it was too expensive for a mirror. But it was also the perfect size. MB said to look for more as he knows that I don’t like hearts. So we went to First Aid at Greenbelt and found these mirrors. The Maybelline stuff, I got yesterday.

The mirrors are, are you ready for this? Php149 each! So affordable! You can adjust the mirror to 45 and 180 degree angles. I saw two kinds of mirrors. One was taller. I asked the SA about it and she said that the mirrors are adjustable. When I asked MB to assemble them, turns out, the tall mirrors are a different model. Oh, well. These will suffice.

On the other hand, I thought I was over my Maybelline phase but I guess first love never dies when it comes to makeup. I was intrigued with the Eyestudio Crayon Liner so I got one in black and one in brown. I was impressed with the Maybelline gel liner so I’m thinking that this will not disappoint me. Fingers crossed. Then, I went on to the Clear Smooth blushes. I love the texture! And I love the color even more! It’s so unique! This is Fresh Apricot. There are 4 variants including this – Fresh Rose, Fresh Coral and Fresh Berry. I want to buy Coral and Berry. Rose was too blah for me. It was too normal. If this turns out better than my Angelfit blush then I would really be impressed as this only costs Php189 while the Angelfit Blush is Php429.

Next on my list are the other blush shades and the Stiletto Mascara. I was feeling blah yesterday and a bit stressed out. This haul made me feel better.

    Great haul! I've never seen the Eye Studio Crayon Liner before. The Clear Smooth blush is very pigmented. :) Maybelline has lots of new makeup launched this July! Saw it on their FB page. :)

    The good thing about buying Maybelline at First Aid is, you get double points if you have a Bench Loyalty Card and a Maybelline Empire Card. Woot!

All About Eyes

Lately I’m finding myself obsessed with skin care products, prevention in particular. I'm not getting younger and nobody likes lines and wrinkles, right? I should have done this in my early twenties but those were hard times and we didn’t have enough to support our daily lives, let alone vanity splurges. So now, I’m on hyper mode. I did not place any expectations on this product. I’ve had it with products claiming they can do this and that. I just tried the product thinking that if it works then great, if not then I’ll just find a new one. I wasn’t expecting a dramatic change but 2 weeks into using this product, I noticed that my under eye area has become lighter. The lines are also not as deep as they were before I used this product. I stopped using the Garnier eye products because I’m allergic to them so that means I’m not using any whitening products for that area. I am truly impressed with this product. I didn’t take a before and after photo as I wasn’t expecting this at ...

Alone Time

My good friend Kitten and I were supposed to go out yesterday but she had some unexpected things come up. I needed to buy some stuff as I am packing for a trip and so I went alone. I actually enjoy going out alone as much as going out with girlfriends or MB. It gives me a chance to eat whatever I like to eat and explore new restos. It’s also nice to take my time when shopping. After paying my bills, I had a late lunch at Toast Box: I love Hainanese Chicken. I sometimes cook this dish but it’s too tedious so I settle for eating out. I’m so happy that there are now restaurants that serve proper Hainanese Chicken. Well, except that one above was sooooo bloody. It was swimming in blood when I pulled the meat apart so I had it changed. You know what Gordon Ramsay says, bloody chicken is poisonous. This is the second time I ate at Toast Box and in both times, the chicken was so bloody. After lunch, I started shopping. First stop was Beabi where I bought these: The Sakura thermos on...
