This Week's Haul! Real Techniques, Artist Studio, E.L.F., L.A. Colors, and Ever Bilena.

Hey Guys! :)

I'm back once again to share with you my makeup haul for this week. Instead me doing this every time I buy something, I realized that I should just do it every end of the week. Less hassle for me and more time for product reviews. So, let's get it started! :)


These are the things I bought for this week:

Lol! :) May humabol.

I'm already using all of the products so I'm really excited to share what I think and what I encountered while using them. Btw, to those bloggers or vloggers out there, are you having this dilemma that you already want to use the product that you just bought but unfortunately you can't because you need to get home first to take pictures of it? I'm always encountering this and it's really hard to fight that urge. Specially for blind buys like the two L.A. Colors eyeshadow palette that I bought. They don't have a tester, kaloka! :)

Here are the prices ladies:

• Real Techniques Core Collection - Php1,260 w/ shipping (approx.$27) >> Online
• Artist Studio Cream Eyeshadow Brush - Php 49.75 (approx. $1) >> Landmark Makati
• Artist Studio Shadow Blender Brush - Php59.75 (approx. $2) >> Landmark Makati
• E.L.F. Eyelid Primer - Php129.75 (approx. $3) >> Landmark Makati
• L.A. Colors 6 Colors Eyeshadow Palette - Php149 ($4) >> Landmark Makati
• L.A. Colors 12 Colors Eyeshadow Palette - Php149 ($4) >> Landmark Makati
• Ever Bilena Matte Lipstick - Php165 (approx. $4) >> SM Megamall

Thank you so much for checking this week's haul.

Up next, Maybelline New York The Rocket Volum' Express Mascara.

Tata for now! :)

This Week's Haul! Round 2.. :) San San, Ever Bilena, Paganini, Gatsby, and More..

Hey Guys! :)

I told you this week wouldn't end without me buying something for the sake of vanity. Me and my partner went to Landmark Trinoma last Tuesday. She needed new clothes and I needed a new mouse. I told myself I wouldn't buy anything kikay related. But the impulse is hard to fight. Warning! This will be kinda long. :)

So here they are.

There are so many good finds in Landmark. We also bought laundry bins and a round pedal trash bin. Lol! :) I know they are irrelevant but I will post them anyway. I'm just so happy with the bargain that we got so I'm sharing it to you guys at the end of the blog.

These are the makeup that I bought. I got the San San HD Concealer in Beige which I heard is really nice for the price. Trust me, it was really good. :) I'll make a review about it later on. Also from San San, I bought their Single Eyeshadow in White Frost. Lastly, the Cheek Blush from Ever Bilena in Shy. I'll make a review of them too.

Moving on to some basic necessities. Honestly, I get dandruff when the weather is cold that's why I bought a small container of Clear Men. I know it's for men but I really love the smell and I find the men's formulation more effective than the regular one.

I also bought a small Lewi's & Pearl Cologne in Paris. I need it because I love smelling good even if I'm just at home. I really don't want to use any of my perfumes because it's a waste of money.

I got a Loofah Pad for my face. Sometimes facial scrub is not enough. Just be careful scrubbing you're face with a loofah since we all know the texture of it is rough. It's really not advisable to use it everyday.

For the nails, I bought a Chic Caramelicious polish in small size. It's really nice to wear barely there nail polishes. They are one of the most flexible colors that you can wear on your nails.

To control the oiliness on my face, i bought the E.Saline Vogue Facial Oil Blotting Paper. I was suppose to get the one from Clean & Clear but the packaging of this one caught my attention. It's very cute, very girly, and very cheap as well.

See how big it is.

I've been collecting anything panda since I was in High School. I find them really cute and the Hello Panda Biscuits from Meiji has been my favorite ever since. Maybe that's the reason behind my panda craze. My collection ranges from puzzles to pillows and this is the first time I'm owning a Panda Eye Mask w/ Cooling Gel. It's really cute and very useful. I sometimes use the gel as an ice pack alternative.

 Just chill or freeze the gel and you're ready to go.

Speaking of gel, I bought a Gatsby Water Gloss/Wet Look in Hyper Solid. I used to work in a Casino in Pasay City. We are required to always have our hair up and away from our face. For me to achieve that sleek ponytail hairdo, I use this. Though it gives you a stiff outcome, it's a good alternative for a hairspray.

I've been looking for a big but still handy mirror. I was suppose to get one of those metal vanity ones when I came across the Paganini Standing Mirror. Actually I just invented that because it doesn't have a name, just a model number. Though it's a little bulky, the frame is about an inch thick and as big as an iPad, I really love it! You can see your whole face. As for the price, it's 60% cheaper than the metal vanity mirror that I first wanted. The only downside of it are the colors available. I was kinda hoping they had a black or brown color but they don't so i just got the pink one.

Last but not the least, Mega Ware Licol Multi-Purpose Drawer. Every makeup enthusiast must have. Though I should have bought 3 more. Lol! :) I love this because some of my makeup are now organized. Though it looks cheap, it serves its purpose. It's only now I realize that there are better looking drawers in Japan Home Center, and more cheaper. Oh well, I'm still happy with my buy.

Here are the other things we bought: (Not so relevant!)

Havit Optical Mouse

This Week's Haul! Nichido, Ever Bilena, and Caronia..

Hey Guys! :)

So this is my local brand haul for the week. I hope I won't buy anything else this coming weekend or any of the coming weeks. I need to control my urge on buying new makeup since I have a lot already.

I went to Watsons just this February 1 to buy the Ever Bilena BB Cream and the Nichido Final Powder because I've read and I've seen good reviews about those products. So I checked it out. See! If you read my very first post here, you'll know what I'm saying. Those vlogs and blogs are very powerful. :)

Anyhoo, I'm already familiar with the Nichido loose powder because I used that 6 or 7 years ago. Yes, Nichido has been here for quite some time now. I've been seeing their makeup counter in Megamall ever since. As I remember, they call it loose powder before. Now it's final powder. The packaging is still the same but for the product itself, I really don't remember if the consistency is the same with what they had before. But I do remember having that product for a month or two, considering that I use it everyday. I never bought it again because of the mentality that it's cheap, I don't want people seeing me use it. I was like that before but now, I value every peso. So enough with the social climbing.. :P

For the Ever Bilena BB Cream, I'm pretty much impressed with the color of the one with the whitening formula because it has yellow undertone which is suitable for my skintone. I already tried the bb cream together with the final powder yesterday so my next post will be about it.

I also bought a nail polish which is "Pussy Red" from Caronia because I'm kinda fed up already with the Bobbie Kaleidoscope Polish (Cherie Red) that I'm wearing. I have other red nail polishes here but I want deeper or a darker red color, that's why I bought it. Though I already have the Caronia Fast-Dry Top Coat, I want to try the Kwik-Dry & Cuticle Conditioner from the same brand out of curiosity. I'm going to review that as well later on.

Lastly, I bought a brown eyeliner from Ever Bilena which is called "Kleopatra". Lol! :) Yes, with a letter 'K'. But hey, don't knock it till you try it. I'll make a review on it later. I usually use powder on my brows but I bought anyway.

So ladies, here are the prices:

• EB Advance BB Cream - Php220 (approx. $5) >> Watsons
• Nichido Final Powder - Php150 (approx. $4) >> Watsons
• Caronia Nail Polish - Php37 (approx. $1) >> Watsons
• Caronia Kwik Dry - Php49 (approx. $2) >> Watsons
• Ever Bilena Kleopatra - Php60 (approx. $2) >> Watsons

That's about it. Thank you so much for reading. Up next, my honest feedback on Ever Bilena BB Cream.

Tata for now! :)
