new lippies.new make up. new hairdo |
For the past few weeks I feel like I just wanna buy any cute make up I see online or even the ones in the stores. Maybe it is because I earn my own money now that I felt the urge to buy something for myself. I've never been this excited to surf the net and find new make up items, clothes, shoes and skin care products. That being said, last Friday, my wallet and credit card gave in to that pleasure that every girl in the world enjoys: SHOPPING.
There are a lot of things I wanted to buy online but I never really have the budget to buy them all at the same time. So what I did was prioritize which items I want to possess first. I've been really interested about the Cyleina Black Pearl Soap. It was the first product that I ordered online last week because I really want to try it. Can you believe that I bought 3 Premium Bars of that soap plus 2 soap bars of Cyleina Tomato all at once? I feel like I'm obsessed with the product even prior to using it on my skin. I don't know if the reviews are overrated in such a way that they simply make readers believe that Black Pearl can heal a lot of skin problems but I just gave the benefit of the doubt that maybe, it will work for me. I HOPE!
I got free samples too. Ms. Sheryl (Online seller) gave me samples of Orange kojic, Pink Strawberry and Carrot and Pineapple soap.

I've spent thousands of pesos for skin care and I've never really found that ultimate routine that can make my skin flawless. Yes, I don't have a flawless skin. Right now, I'm suffering from breakouts due to stress and lack of sleep.
Before, I've tried Proactiv, Egyptian Magic Cream, lotsa drugstore Skin care items but nothing really worked. I'll surely pray hard that this will work. -_- I plan to have regular derma treatments @ Flawless Clinic @ SM Markina too. I have a scheduled power peel next week so the blemishes on my forehead will diminish. ^__^ Kudos to working girls! I certainly believe that we shouldn't forget about ourselves especially when we're earning! ^__^
Last weekend, I bought few stuffs to add something in my make up kit.
Bronzer.Eyebrowpencil.Eyeshadow.Lipstick
I dropped my avon pallete last time and no, the packaging was not broken but my favorite eyeshadow(dark brown) was all gone to waste. So I have to buy another eyeshadow to replace it. I prefer dark brown because it really emphasizes my crease. It's the only color I'd never want to live without. Unfortunately, I can't find anything close to it so I just grabbed Nichido Eyeshadow shade MAROON. It's close to a dark brown color so it's as good as before.
Next thing I bought was a bronzer. I never had a bronzer before. When I dropped by the ELF station, I saw this Healthy Glow Bronzing Powder. Packaging is really nice. The powder is not dark on the skin. In fact, it is illuminating.
Next is an eyebrow Pencil. I've been using my Ever Bilena eyebrow pencil for years so I thought of buying a new one. I grabbed a Nichido Eyebrow Pencil and I got the shade dark brown. As they say, for brows, always choose the one that is two shades lighter. :)
Finally the much awaited Revlon Colorbust Lipstick in Soft Nude is in my possession. I've heard so many good things about it and aside from that I really really want to try nude lipstick.
I love the packaging. It's super chic. The lipstick is not drying on my lips although it can emphasize my lip lines if I don't add lipgloss on top of it. It's my first time to wear lipstick at work. Hehe. I love how it looks on me. It's not that pale on the lips.
Just to give you an idea on how peachy, nude-y this shade is, I have a swatch of it with my other nude lippies.
From Left to Right: REVLON (Soft Nude), NYX(Orange Soda), ETUDE HOUSE (Lip Concealer)
(Random Order)
Aside from these loots, I also received a package from DIGITALTRAINCASE. I bought 3 lippies from her again because I super love NYX Lip Products. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to buy the Round lipstick Shade I want. I initially ordered for Thalia but it's sold out. Despite that I was able to buy 2 Megashine lipglosses and a round lipstick shade: Circe.
I bought Perfect Lig Megashine Lipgloss, Smokey Look Megashine Lipgloss and Lipstick in Circe.
Here is my NYX Collection:
My collection ranges from natural to nude to pinkish shades.
I love nude-y pinkish lips. My next target is CANDY DOLL LIPGLOSS.
Have you guys heard of it?
Have you tried it?
Please, please let me know. ^__^
I love lippies! Don't we all love them?

Hi Anna~ nice hauls! would love to try the cyleina soaps too :)looking forward to your reviews on them :)
ReplyDeleteGreat haul! What a nice collection of neutral lip colors! Love it!
ReplyDelete@Locke: Thank you! I'll make a review soon! On a side note, I love how Black pearl feels on my skin. My skin feels more refreshed and it cools on my skin too. :) But I have to give it two-three weeks and see if it works in healing skin problems. :) So far so good!

ReplyDelete^_^
i've never been a fan of the cyleina black pearl for it broke me out.
T_T
i was thinking that it is pure organic so it's gotta be good, but when it made my skin feel all tingly & cool, i said to myself that this is not 100% pure black pearl soap. Then, just like what i predicted, the next morning i woke up with little zits on my chin area
>_<
this is the soap that made me broke out when i did my tomato mask review.
hope this will work on you,sis!
i'm not a nyx lippies fan, but i have tried their concealer (the one in jar) & it is good! you ought to try it if you can.
hope you'll have a great day,hun!
^_^
Thanks, Thiamere! I was actually looking for your review on Black Pearl Soap but I wasn't able to find one. Ang alam ko kasi bumili ka rin. Yup Tingly and cool siya sa face. Fortunately, I didn't make me break out. But it made me think that maybe it's all placebo effect. Every time I read a review on it, most of the users seem to be super in love with it. I don't know but it is kind of overrated. Haha I joined the bandwagon to see if this stuff works. :) I'll let you guys know!
ReplyDeleteI'll try their concealer maybe some other time. Haha! I'm out of budget. :p Time to save money again and wait for swelday!!! ^__^
Have a great day too, thiamere! :)
You're so cute ^_^ I've been viewing your NYX posts, I plan to buy the round lipsticks really soon ♥ Hope you could drop by my blog ^_^
ReplyDeleteThanks Val! Buy nyx lipstick! Would love to see the shades you're gonna pick! BTW, I wanna invite you to my first giveaway! :) Have a great day!
