Mini toiletries loot

Posted by makeupjunkie | Labels: , , , , , ,
//

Hello my lovelies! I havent really completely disappeared. Im just in a hiatus of sorts. ( it feels like i always am) anywho, iwas at SM Southmall yesterday and picked up a few things.

1. Ponds loot - my mom wanted the free rhet eala bag that came with every 300 peso purchase so we got those. Not sure if she'll use itas we're both completely happy with the gold radiance line. I think the gold radiance line is a little to "old" for me so i'm looking into getting the flawless white line again. :)

2. Lulur asian secrets - since im into scrubs lately, i decided to check this one out as ive been hearing lotsa good stuff about the brand

3. Garnier light bb - i know the concealer-type under-eye roll sold in the states was a big hit so i wanna see if this variant of the same brand can deliver.

4. Schick intuition razor - (repurchase) i love this razor!

5. Rexona skinlight - normally, i go for the spray on deo but as it is too bulky for travel i decided to get this instead.

Im so excited to try the eye-roll and the scrub! :)

January 2011 lootbag

Posted by makeupjunkie | Labels: , , ,
//


as i've mentioned a while back, i'm trying to budget my money and allot just 1500 per week or 6,000 per month on cosmetics/fashion. since i went a little above budget, i'm cutting it down to 4,500 for the month of February, as a self-imposed punishment. 

items bought:


1. balmbini palette by the balm cosmetics - 1695
 i've always wanted to try the balm products because they have such a cute packaging and the colors seem to just pop. i decided to get the palette cuz it showcases some of their bestsellers and i am pretty much in love with it! :D review soon.
i cant wait to get the time balm foundation and concealer and see how it works on my not-so-perfect skin. am also itching to get the stainiac and the balms away tinted moisturizer.

2. O.P.I. nailpolish - 395 each
quarter of a cent-cherry - a deep red shade
lincoln park after dark - darkest purple i've seen. almost black but not quite.
i've just recently found a love for nailpolishes and other nail implements and i decided to start getting my nailpolishes from OPI cuz i've been hearing and reading lotsa goodstuff about it. :D i cannot get over how fast this nailpolish dries! seriously.

3. NARS
a. blush in amour - 1350
i love my orgasm blush to the hilt. i'm still reserving judgment on amour.

b. greek holiday lipgloss - 1350
i have the roman holiday lip laquer (i think that's how it's spelt. i'm tamad to google it) from my bridal palette and i love it. i wanted to give this a try. and imma be honest here. the name shade was my sole basis for buying it. XD

c. single cream shadow in corfu - 1150
i wanted to see how it pits against my Rubenesque paint pot from mac.  the mac paintpot has been my go-to neutral base for so long and it's never failed me. Corfu is in a deeper and completely different shade than Rubenesque, but it works perfect to pull the no-make up look, especially as i top it off with the All That Glitters eyeshadow from mac. :D

d. Firming Foundation - priced at 2750, i think
i got this one as a freebie from nars. i originally wanted to get the sheer matte foundation from nars, priced at 2450 but when the Nars lady at Rustans told me that they give the full-sized bottle of the firming foundation as a freebie for every 3500, i didnt think twice. i decided to choose other products from nars to be able to get the freebie. as you can prolly tell am a prime target for all those marketing strategies. lol.

if you did your math, you'll know that i'm a couple of hundreds over my budget and that's why i've clamped my february budget as "punishment"

Last Loot for 2010

Posted by makeupjunkie | Labels: , ,
//

this is the last (hopefully) makeup haul for the year. it is also an impulsive one. i was just at my local watsons here in the province (not even inside an actual mall, just a stand alone Watsons near the plaza) and i got the following:


1. James Cooper 7-piece Travel Brush Set - i love this brush set! it seems like James Cooper really placed a lot of thought into this one. you can actually do a full face with this set and make it look professionally done!
- large brush: for setting liquid foundation. i actually just apply my liquid foundation in the car with my fingers and use this brush to set my foundation with my pressed powder.
- blush brush
- eyeshadow paddle brush
- crease brush
- slanted eyeliner brush
- concealer brush: which i've miststaken for a lip brush at first, lol
- spoolie: extremely useful
it sucks tho that it doesnt come with a lip brush but i dont mind at all, i can easily get the ever bilena retractable one, with cap, for less than 50 bucks, i think. i also love that the brushroll comes with a pocket. i've stored my Fanny Serrano Eyelash curler in it, along with my cookiie-shaped mirror. in a pinch, i can even easily stick a wedge sponge in it. :D
2. Nichido eyebrow powder - prolly the best eyebrow kit i ever bought, second only to the highly expensive ModelCo one.
3. 13 shades of the Niichido Girls Night Out Liners - i've read somewhere that it is even better than the urban decay 24/7 liners. can't confirm tho cuz i dont own a single one of the 24/7 liners but it got me intrigued. i think i already have at least 4 shades, but since i'm buying the complete set, i might as well pick up the rest right? for 80 bucks a pop. it aint so bad. i love that all of these are waterline safe as well, so it's all good. will post swatches after the new year, and that's a promise! :D
Shades:
- *Bronze Glow
- 24K
- *Green Smokes
- Nice Gal
- *Pink Diamond
- *Thin Mints
- Blackest Black
- Deep Bloinde
- Cool Blue
- Metal Blue
- Vivid Turqiose
- Deep Plum
- Thin Mints
(* - the ones i already have from before)

there you have it, my impulse haul. i actually cheated a bit for including the james cooper brush set as ive bought it several days earlier, but IAG!

how was your christmases? i hope it was a lot better than mine. :D don't get me wrong, i spent it with my family and it was all good, but i am bloody missing somebody. i can't wait for May, when i get to see the brit again.. too long i know. thank god for skype and fb. lol. :P

LOOT: Etude House Haul

Posted by makeupjunkie | Labels: , , ,
//

I was kinda late in joining the Etude House bandwagon but their flagship store in Megamall is simply too far from me. Then Etude House opened in Festival Mall, which is perfect for me as it is a mere 10-15 minute drive from me, 7-if I'm driving. LOL. They also opened another branch at SM Manila which is also very convenient for me, as it is very near my Manila address. At first I was not crazy about them because i find the packaging a little too plasticky and cheap looking, and I feel that for an Asian brand, it is a tad too expensive. I still feel that their prices are a little expensive but now that i have been introduced to them, I think the prices are somewhat reasonable for the quality of the actual products.

i bought a bunch of stuff and got a bunch of freebies. :D

The stuff I bought:
1. Pink Travel Pouch
2. Secret Beam Highlighter #02
3. Petit Darling Eyes - Nude
4. Precious Mineral BB Cream Sheer Glowing Skin SPF30
5. Speedy Total Mineral Base SPF41
6. Pack Brush
7. Peach Skin Pact
8. Color Me Nude Lip Concealer

oh, and i got several freebies:
1. 3 Pink Pens - gave the other one to my cousin and the other one to my grandma
2. cute planner with some Korean actor dude

I actually made two separate trips. one last weekend where i got the makeup base and the pack brush. i got one freebie pen then. My purchase did not qualify for a free pen but they gave me one anyway. They also signed me up for the membership card that they give out for a single receipt worth PhP500.  Then i went back today to buy the rest. I officially just qualified for a free planner but they gave me two more free pens. I love my Etude House SAs!

It is also pretty convenient to avail of the membership card as it is a rebate-system type where you earn 2pts for every 100peso purchase. 2pts = 2 pesos. Not bad eh?

I want to hoard the Speedy Total Mineral Base! Seriously!

Next time I'm there imma get the FF:
1. Eyebrow Kit - the one with the wax
2. Several Brushes
3. The BB Balm that comes with a mini brush
4. the Petroleum Jelly-like product that claims to be a fix-all.
5. tear duct liner/powder not sure which one to get yet
6. a mattifier
7. the pink bottle with a pump dispenser

yep. i think i listed it all.

How about you? How did you find your Etude House Experience?

Loot: Youngblood Artiste Palette & Nars Bridal Palette

Posted by makeupjunkie | Labels: , , , ,
//

Two new palettes came in for me this past month! :D





1. The Youngblood Artiste Palette in Romanticism
Eyes: Alabaster, Golden Beryl, Penny
Lips: Brilliance, Glorious, Mesmerize
Cheeks: Sherbet, Blossom

2. NARS Artist Palette: Bridal Palette
Eyes: Edie, Nepal, Night Fever
Cheeks: Albatross, Orgasm
Lips: Mitzi, Baby Doll, Sexual Healing, Roman Holiday

I haven't really played around with it. I just love looking at them. lol. They're both supposed to be Neutral/earth shades perfect for the prime or bridal Look, but i don't know. the Youngblood palette seems to be the one with the nude shades while the Nars palette seems to be more catered for nightouts.

I know I've been AWOL the past few weeks but I've been busy with school work, plus, lately, I'm more obsessed with the new Kindle3 than beauty blogging! Geekgirl showing thru! lol. :D

Reviews/comparisons coming soon! :D

Another Watson's Haul

Posted by makeupjunkie | Labels: , , , , ,
//



I was feeling a little down lately so i decided to amp up my makeup collection! As Samantha Jones would say, "break ups are bad for the heart, but good for the economy." and what better way to bolster up the economy than to buy local brands, right? also, i am gearing up for another asian trip and i prefer to bring fanny serrano cosmetics than my high end ones because i simply don't trust the stevedores and baggage dudes to handle up my fragiles.

These are what i bought:

the boring stuff first

essentials:
1. contact lens (monthlies)
2. contact lens case - my old one was getting dirty already
3. small lens solution - something that would fit my bag
4. packets of disposable teeth cleaner - i got curious, and with 15pesos a pop, i decided to buy several.

okay. 'nuff of boring non-makeup stuff! lol

The Good Stuff:
Marionnaud brushes
I originally bought the travel set, pointed eyeshadow brush, and the slanted eyeline and eyebrows double side brush but i left it in Waterfront Lahug in Cebu. :( so I had to re-buy them. within the span of 1 week, i was able to buy most of the ones in watson's. i am just missing the retractable brush which i plan to pick up tomorrow. :D i have the following now (L-R in photos)

1. Travel Set
2. Large Powder Brush
3. Fluid Foundation Brush
4. Slanted Blusher Brush
5. Concealer Brush
6. Pointed Eyeshadow Brush
7. Eyeshadow Brush
8. Slanted Eyeline & Eyebrows Double Side Brush

I will go into detail about this brushes when i do the formal review next! :D

Fanny Serrano Cosmetics
I fell in love with Fanny Serrano Cosmetics since last year, and unlike boyfriends, i have never fallen out of love with FS yet. lol!

1. Two-Way Cake in Rajah - for contour
2. Two-Way Cake in Orleans - to warm up my face, so i don't look too pale.
3. Eyebrow Powder - self-explanatory. lol
4. Two-Way Cake in Organza - my natural shade
5. Two-Way Cake in Silk - for highlight

paired with the FS concealers and used with the Marionnaud brushes, it creates a fantastic no-make up look, yet it covers blemishes, dark spots and under-eye circles!

Ever Bilena
I came across Ever Bilena's new line, the Mousse Cosmetics, and i have been curious enough to test it out in the counters. i loved what i saw so i got the ones i wanted. haven't roadtested them much tho as i've just gotten them yesterday. :D

Top:
1. Mousse Matte Foundation in Hazelnut - with pinkish undertone for under-eye.
2. Mousse Matte Foundation in Acorn - my natural shade
3. Mousse Concealer in Pure Beige - to conceal blemishes.

Bottom:
1. Mousse Blush in Dusty Mauve - a peach colored blush
2. Mousse Blush in Rose Pink - reddish-pink colored blush, more on the pink side tho.
3. Mousse Eyeshadow in Amber - copper-nude mousse shadow (think paintpots)
4. Mousse Blush in Aster - Pink. no other way to describe it. amazing color tho.
5. Mousse Blush in Scarlet - Reddish-Orange blush.

expect swatches, especially of the blushes on my next posts. :D

there you have it. i hoped you enjoyed viewing these as much as i have enjoyed buying them! lol. a truly hope this "inspires" you into looking into the treasures of our local makeup brands. :D

new Watsons haul

Posted by makeupjunkie | Labels: , , , , ,
//

1. Garnier Light Brightening Eye Roll-On - i have been putting off buying this stuff coz i know i have a discount coupon from my BDJ planner, and i didnt realize i missed the coupon period. i was supposed to buy it in hong kong, but it was more expensive pala there. it's 99hkd in hongkong. roughly 500 pesos. talk about expensive! granted, it was a bit different than the one sold here, but still! lol.

2. neutrogena wave - so i wanted to get this for a long time but i read some not so stellar reviews so i removed it from my must-haves. then a couple of weeks back, i was able to try it thru my friend roxy and i kinda liked it. i was supposed to buy right there and then at MOA, but they didnt have the free refill promo so i didnt. it was lucky that my local Watsons still has the promo!

3. Garnier LightComplete Multi-Action Whitening Cream - it was actually Cammille(SHOBE) of LittleBeautyBlog 's review that convinced me to get one. i'm not into whitening, but it is the promised 6-hour shine-free look that i'm after!

4. Marionnaud Pointed Eyeshadow Brush - i've been looking for a good but inexpensive pencil brush, and at 89 pesos at your local Watsons', it can't get any better than that! lol

Went toiletries shopping at watsons. i have been dying to buy this stuff for a long time, but i have pushed it off my must-have everytime.

i am quite happy with my purchase!

My Hong Kong Haul

Posted by makeupjunkie | Labels: , , , ,
//

hi lovelies! i'm back! :D been outta the loop for sooo long as ive been battling some personal demons, but i'm back now. will try to update as often as possible.

was also outta the loop cuz ive spent the past month or so travelling round the country and asia.

am on a really tight student budget, not to mention that it's vay-kay, hence my allowance has been on vay-kay too! lol. also, i refused to be sucked in with all the campaigning hullaballoo my family has been obssessed with so am having none of it. suffice to say, am not very popular with my kin at the moment. no worries tho, am always public enemy no.1 during elections. this year tho i'm keeping it smart by staying outta everybody's way and jetting out every chance i get.

my HK makeup haul is not much due to said budget constraints, and ive been busy flirting with one very hot, half-british-half pinoy. My efforts have been in vain tho, he has too much of that so-called "European arrogance" to take me seriously. ts all good tho. he's been good for my ego while it lasted. :D downside tho was that i spent more time flirting than shopping.

the stuff i bought:







1. shu uemura eyelash curler
2. shu uemura mini eyelash curler
3. shu uemura glow-on in M RED 15
4. Nars Bronzer in Laguna (lost mine after all the travelling i did so i had to replace it)
5. MAC E/S in All that Glitters
6. MAC E/S in Tempting
7. MAC L/S in Creme D' Nude
8. H&M hello kitty body splash set
9. H&M L/G in Waterlily (clear)
10. H&M L/G in Bella Bellina (shimmery peach)
11. H&M L/G in Irresistible Irene (nude)
12. H&M E/S set in Gold Digger (nudes)

i'm loving it!

i just wanted to post these items cuz i cant contain my excitement over them. i can't believe that the shu curlers cost half the price in hk than in manila so i bought several for my friends who asked me to. wont be posting reviews tho, cuz most items are not available here (especially the h&m ones).

i am sad to report tho that i was not able to visit the sephora branch in mongkok as it was closed. ive no idea why tho. i felt soo disappointed by that fact as i was looking forward to it for months on end that i lost the urge to visit sasa, bonjour and facess as well. sorry.

also, i have heard that my good friend A, has shown my blog to her boss (which i happened to be such a huge fan of) and i cannot contain my *kilig* that her boss loved my humble blog! grabe, i am super kilig talaga! i'll have to talk to A first to confirm tho, and ask her permission to divulge who her boss is.

will talk to you again soon! will be leaving again in a few days.

yea, am loving the jet-set life! :D

Massive 4u2 Haul!

Posted by makeupjunkie | Labels: , , , ,
//


i know, i went really crazy in the 4u2 stand at SM manila. but can you blame me? they are just soo pretty!

the haul as follows:
1. 4u2 I-pro Eye Makeup Modern Palette
2. 4u2 I-pro Eye Makeup Classic Palette
3. 4u2 I-pro Eye Makeup Impressionist Palette
4. 4u2 I-pro Eye Makeup Contemporary Palette
5. 4u2 DreamGirl Color EyeShadow in No. 03
6. 4u2 DreamGirl Color EyeShadow in No. 13
7. 4u2 DreamGirl Color EyeShadow in No. 09
8. 4u2 DreamGirl Color EyeShadow in No. 06
9. 4u2 Chic Couple 2-Color Silky Blush in No. 01
10. 4u2 Chic Couple 2-Color Silky Blush in No. 10
11. 4u2 Wave Three Color Blush On

i originally bought the neutrals palette, which they call the Modern palette, along with the single eyeshadows, and i was able to get the i-pro palette for free. when i went home, i cannot get over how pigmented and nice the shadows are that i just have to have the rest of the palette. when i went back, two days later, i was supposed to get the Contemporary and Impressionist palettes, but the SA showed me the Classic palette which is the matte palette and i just had to have the matte ones! so i bought the Classic and Impressionist palettes, along with 3 blushes. again i was able to take home 2 of the ipro freebie palettes. then finally, i went back to get the Contemporary Palette so i could have all 4 palettes.

the freebies

technically, they arent free cuz you have to pay 1 peso for each once you've reached a minimum single receipt purchase.

to get the i-pro palette (which looks like the Nars' Bridal Palette, but more on that on future posts) you have to get a minimum of 1,500PhP single receipt purchase. i was able to get 3. imma give away one or two, so stay tuned for the details! :D

also, for a minimum of 300 peso purchase each, i was able to get:
1. 2 pcs freebie foundation
2. Glitz Mirror



L-R no. 03, no. 13, no. 09, no. 06

no. 3 is a beautiful silver white, my favorite of the bunch, no. 13 is a deep copper brown, no. 09 is a pretty old rose color, which would be spectacular as a highlighter/blush as well, and no. 06 is a beautiful yellow-gold color.

i already posted swatches cuz i've no intention of posting separate reviews/swatches for each.

i love:
-highly pigmented
-lotsa colors available
- does not crease
- long lasting

i hate:
- cheap packaging
- breaks easily (as you can see, i just salvaged my no. 03 shadow)


L-R Chic blush in no. 10, Wave blush in no. 05 and chic blush in no. 01

i realized i don't have enough blushes, so i bought some fantastic yet affordable ones.

top L-R Impressionist palette, Classic palette
bottom L-R Modern palette, Contemporary palette


there you have it, my massive 4u2 haul. will post swatches and initial review of the palettes soon! :P

a very merry estee lauder christmas haul!

Posted by makeupjunkie | Labels: , ,
//




for christmas and my birthday, i decided to give myself some estee lovin'!

i bought the Color Spectacular giftset, a 20 thousand worth of products that you can avail for just 3,500, if you buy any estee lauder product worth 4thousand pesos. insane right? each year, estee lauder comes out with a makeup giftset that you can avail with a product purchase.

to get the promo, i decided to get myself a perfume giftset and an estee lauder Double Wear foundation which is guaranteed to stay in place for 8-9 hours. it's a little over the 4,000 minimum, but that's okay because i am definitely happy with my purchases!




Collection includes:
- Deluxe Eyeshadow Compact with 15 coordinating shades (Sugar Cube, Ivory Box, Honey Drop, Lavender, Chocolate, Tea Biscuit, Copper Penny, Petal, Mulberry, Pale Moon, Cinnamon, Apricot and Mocha Cup in Pure Color Eyeshadow, plus Sage Duo in Estée Lauder Signature Eyeshadow).
- Deluxe Face Compact (Estée Lauder Signature Silky Powder Blush in Rosewood and Nude Rose, and Bronze Goddess Soft Matte Bronzer).
- Four Pure Color Long Lasting Lipsticks (full-size, in Candy, Rose Tea, Fig and Tiger Eye).
- Three Artist’s Eye Pencils (great for smoky eyes, in SoftSmudge Black, SoftSmudge Brown and Slate Writer).
- Projectionist High Definition Volume Mascara (10-day supply, in Black).
- Lash Primer Plus (10-day supply).
- Gentle Eye Makeup Remover (3.4 oz.).
- Four deluxe makeup brushes (powder, blush, lip and eye).
- Golden standup mirror.
- Cosmetic traveler case.
- Companion makeup case. A $340 value.


the perfume giftset includes the toiletries case, Estee Lauder Pleasures perfume and Pleasures body lotion.

the foundation is very promising and i will make a review about it once i have played around with it.

i say this haul is one of my most expensive hauls. this is me in dire need of some retail therapy. i'm just thankful i am not binging on dazs' famouse ice creams.

hi dolls! :P
i went ballistic at watson's today.

i had a gym date with the girls so i picked up a few gym things before actually going to the gym and then i picked out a few other things after hitting the gym. :P

1. facial massager - ever since i saw the clarisonic, i've been wanting it but i just don't wanna spend 149-229 usd for a face toothbrush. i am not that crazy yet. luckily our trusty watson's have a reasonably priced alternative. ive used it once already and i'm in love!!
2. body treats moisturizing body scrub in lavander - for the sauna after workout
3. hair treats hair spa in lavander - also for the sauna. i just love matching things
4. active firming stretchable mask - again for the sauna
5. johnson's melt away stress daily calming lotion
6 johnson's melt away stress daily calming wash
since i fell in love with the 24-hour moisture, i wanted to try this set as well. if you remember from previous haul, i bought the powder to go with this set already.

7. eskinol oxygen skin renew facial wash/gentle mask
8. eskinol oxygen skin renew facial toner
9. eskinol oxygen skin renew cream
now this one came highly recommended by my friend roxy. i wanted to try something new too so i bought the whole set!
10. nichido sheer lipstick in tender lips
11. fanny serrano true light liquid lipstick in light petal - love love love
12. fashion21 fruit gloss

okay. that's my kikay haul. hopefully my next haul would be in november na cuz imma be broke soon. no classes = no allowance.

14. closee up toothpaste
15. 4 packs of modess all nights

other misc junkfood.

yea. you mightve noticed that majority of what i bought were j&j prods. ive just been hearing lotsa goodstuff bout it and rox convinced me to get them so i did. :P

i used to date this dude who once told me that you could learn a lot from a person's grocery purchases. we used to go grocery shopping together. i dunno how to explain it, but yea. you could totally get to know a person by the way he/she picks out grocery items.

so, what can you tell about my partial list of grocery picks? :P

my cheat haul.

yea. i know i told you guys i would not be hauling for about 8 weeks cuz im actually saving money for a new netbook with at least a bigger screen, but i can justify my haul, i promise!

first, i bought a MAC Mineralize Skin Finish cuz i really really am lemming for one for so long now and everytime i try to buy one, it's always out of stock. well, now that i really am trying not to buy, like a devil's temptation, there it was selling like pancakes.. so i had to get one before it gets out of stock again.... and i love love love it! no regrets at all!

second, i bought another fanny serrano concealer in walnut cuz i lost mine. i travel back and forth between manila and laguna weekly and with all the packing and traveling, you just lose stuff. i really am dependent on this concealer so dont sue me! :D

finally, ive been wanting to get this nichido palette cuz it's so cheap and i could just put it in my travel case or my kikay kit and forget about it, then when emergency strikes, it's there! :D i like the neutral/earth colors too!

so there you have it, my cheat haul. :D

my july gawang pinoy haul

Posted by makeupjunkie | Labels: , , , ,

i will be embarking on an 8week no buy mode cuz i am saving up for this uber cute mini netbook that i sooo want! i know, i already have Shia(my eeepc) but then again i can't really do much on a 4gig netbook and Chuck is too bulky to be carried around so imma get a little something that's more efficient for my pics, games, and blogging needs. now on with the good stuff.

it'll be a while before you see yet another haul, but i really tried to get as littlest as possible so here it is:
i know, i know it's not a lot, but as ive mentioned, i am really trying to save. i got:
1. Fanny Serrano sponge - best gawang pinoy sponge IMHO
2. Nichido lipstick - rose shimmer - been hearing lotsa goodstuff about this
3. Fashion21 sharpener - for eye/lip pencils
4. Nichido GNO eye pencil - pink diamond
5. Fashion21 white eyeliner - i broke the last one i had in half.. *sniff*
6. Fashion21 clear gloss - a clear gloss is a must have in every kikay kit IMHO

i honestly dont want to put a non-makeup/beauty item here, but this one is soo beautiful, and is the main culprit anyway why im broke this week. i got myself a sturdy bag to lug heavy law books around and shia too to boot! :D i bought an uber cute jansport bag! and before you ask, no.. pink is not my favorite color.. green is... the animo lives on!
