Haul: Kamiseta, Aldo, B&BW and More

Mind you, I am a busy bee as ever! I am longing for some "me-time" for a while now. I guess it's also the right time to visit a mall since year-end inventory sales are going on. Pretty good finds are still there among the piles of clothes scattered all over. So last weekend, I pushed my tired soul to the mall and cheered myself up a bit. And that means... retail therapy!

First stop, Kamiseta! I know they are having this crazy sale but I had to warn myself not to be over-excited. Sales could mean not all sizes are available. Though lucky me, I chanced upon 8 tops to boot. If only my wallet would permit, I'll definitely bagged them all. :) But, oh well, I had to choose my top three.

Aren't they lovely? I'm actually spying both whites when they were still on regular price. And now, they are slashed to half the price. I saved up to PhP 1650. Who's to complain? Haha. The buttoned white blouse can be played to a more serious look while the brown stripes and strappy top are best for laid-back moments.

I'm also looking for another white flats so next stop Aldo! This caught my eye instantly.

I already used it once and it didn't leave my feet feeling sore. A little bit pricey but I'm sure it's the kind that will last!

And of course, never go home without any beauty supply!

Been lemming for Garnier Brightening Eye Roll-On (PhP 199) and finally decided to get one. I'll try it for my horridous eyebags for a month and let you know my take on it.

I'm disappointed with my TFS nail polish, RD301, because it is a little pinkish more like a red fuchsia. So I bought another red. A local nail polish, Bobbie in Exactly Red (PhP 27.75), which is my first nail color from them. Probably painting my nails with it today.

And lastly, I gave in to B&BW PocketBacs I mentioned here. It's Lemon Glaze (PhP 99.75), part of Cupcake Collection, and has glitters on it. Scent is a mix of lemon and strong vanilla.

That's it! I might be a little broke but I'm now recharged (err, excuses☺). How about you, what are your recent purchases? I love spending time at a mall especially when it's bargain time. But don't take me as a mallrat okay!

'Til then,

PS. Please help me pray for my lola for her fast recovery. That would mean a lot to me. Thanks!

Mini Watsons Haul

I really want to do a review today but I don't have the extra time to do it. So I'll just post my Watsons haul last weekend. Mini as I am just restocking my bath stuff. And I love reading this kind of post. I find it therapeutic haha. How about you?

And here it is from upper left:

1. Myra Vita Firm at PhP 99

My current lotion is Myra Vita Quench (review on it soon) and I guess this is a new variant which as it claims can help tighten skin so I need to have it. Plus I badly need it right now to keep my ever present cellulite at bay. I'll report if it works!

2. L'oreal Total Repair 5 Shampoo and Conditioner at PhP 139 and Php189 respectively
Again, I am so in love with this product! These two are just backups in case I run out of it! If it will happen eeek ;)

3. Sunsilk Smooth and Manageable at PhP 89

This is a household shampoo and whenever I want to deeply cleanse my hair, I either use this or H&S. There's a free Creamsilk too. Who wouldn't love that? I think the promo is still ongoing so if you're a Sunsilk and Creamsilk fan too, go grab yours now!

4. L'oreal Total Repair 5 Deep Repairing Mask sachet at PhP 20

I lost the other one I bought last month so I repurchase! Love, love this line from L'oreal.

5. Lewis & Pearl Dewdrops Cologne at around PhP 30
If you like D&G Light Blue, then this is a good alternative which you can splash to your body anytime without the guilt! Just for the cheap price you can smell like your favorite perfume! My fave too.

6. Skin White PowerWhitening Facial Cleanser at PhP 39

Okay, this is just a random buy because I run out of my Clinique Clarifying Lotion and I don't know what toner to get. Hopefully, it will not cause any breakouts as I am still on the process of erasing pimple marks from the past month. Aaargh!

:D

And that was my mini haul, wish you had fun reading it as I am typing it. Let me know your current haul too. Have a happy Friday everyone! Just one day before the week ends, are you excited? ;)

Another Watsons Haul

I went to Watsons yesterday to refill my stash. Nothing much to purchase because I still have new things to try at home.

1. Marionnaud N 35 Eyeshadow Brush PhP 69.75
Made of synthetic fibers - angled to contour, accent and shape. It's also soft like the Marionnaud Blusher Brush. I haven't used it yet so I can't comment if it's that good. I heard good feedbacks nonetheless.

2. L'oreal Paris TR5 Deep Repairing Mask 15 mL PhP 19
1 Minute Mask - Deep repairing for strong and healthy hair. You know how much I love L'oreal TR5 (review here) but I don't have their mask yet. I bought just sachet to try and the price quite surprised me. Cheapo!

3. L'oreal Paris TR5 Shampoo 80 mL PhP 54
I'm running low on my fave shampoo and this is the only one left from this variant so I need to get it! This is their smallest size which is perfect for travelers and those who are on budget.

Btw, sachets for shampoo and conditioner will be available soon at PhP 4.50!

4. Nichido Multiple Stick in South Beach PhP 94
I got it at 50% off. Creamy peachy-pink with gold shimmer blush. Goes well with my skin tone but doesn't stay long. For its price, I guess it's worth it.

5. Fashion 21 Eyeliner in Black PhP 85
I'm planning to use this for making the eyes look chinita. Not for me but for my sister who will be Ms. Korea on her school's UN week. Is this a good one? Or do you have other recommendations? The other end is a smudge tool.

Further reviews on each soon. Happy Monday everyone. Let us all have that positive energy!

Weekend Loot - 05.15.10

Hello my bloggie readers! It's time again for another weekend loot!

1. Parisian Jr. Wedge PhP 699.75

The last time I bought a pair on Parisian was years, years ago, prolly my highschool days. And hey, they have improved a lot! They've got great styles specially those with heels. For a fact, they always run out of the usual sizes -- 7 and 8. Not sure though of their quality or how long this pair would lasted me but with the price and style, it's a steal already!

2. Avon Naturals Energizing 2-in-1 Shampoo and Conditioner Php 99

This is on a discounted price, originally at PhP 130. What captured me to buy this is the smell.. mango and ginger! I rarely find a mango scent shampoo so with no doubt I order this. Promise to do a review about it soon.

3. Paganini Hair Comb around Php 65

I know I have a lot of good combs already but I love the color of it!!!

4. Love The One You're With PhP 299

Bought another one at Bestsellers, a book by Emily Giffin. I'm actually trying to grow my book compilation by at least buying once a month. My Sophie Kinsella collection is already completed. Hopefully, I can have my own dream library! :)

5. Pink Stuff

Hello Kitty notebook and Pink pens bought at Bestsellers too!

Wishing you guys a great weekend ahead! :)

Weekend Loot - 04.11.10

I burn again some of my cash. Though this may not be expensive at all but yeah, I still have many products on my room for me to finish. Aaaahh! But I'm in love with beauty stuff. Especially hair care prods. I'm so into them and I love taking care of my hair. Errr, I'm frustrated in taking care of my frizzy-so-far-from-perfect hair! I have my HG shampoo and conditioner already (HG as of now haha) but it's summer and my fave prods can't fight the heat that makes my hair smells...nasty! Sorry but it's true :) I know I don't have to tell you how growse it is. So I'd like to try other shampoo readily available in our market.

You take a peek...

I never realize that one side is blue and the other side is green

until I uploaded it here..haha cute!

J&J Baby Cologne Regular PhP 63

My scent since birth! I like this very much specially when it's summer because it gives you the fresh after bath feeling and "amoy baby."

Creamsilk Conditioner Damage Control PhP 103

This is my exchange conditioner when I feel that my hair's tired with L'oreal.

Sunsilk Strong & Long PhP 94

New version of Sunsilk green. They replace all variants of their shampoo and made their bottles colorful and captivating. Also Sunsilk's shampoos are now co-created with top hair stylists around the world. For me, it's still the same :)

Eskinol Calamansi Facial Cleanser PhP 31.75

For my elbows and knees.

'Til next weekend loot ladies!

Weekend Loot - 03.27.10

Showing hauls for some is thought of as bragging but hey, I love these kind of posts. It's a bit therapeutic and inspiring to see where your hard-earned money was spent..err on beauty stuff :). That's why I also love seeing your stuff. Here's mine this week:

Paper bag is from Jellybean, Watsons stuff, Hello Kitty watch for my sis, Hardware Mag (HWM) for Hubby and a book for me.

A trip to the mall won't be complete without buying some stuff in wherelse? Watsons :) (Our boys don't really get it, ayt?)

My visit wasn't really intended to buy my monthly stock of beauty stuff but I am going to an event this coming week so I need to prep my skin.

~ Garnier Light Perfect Fit & Relax Whitening Mask PhP 89

The whitening mask claims to make you look like you've used their whitening care for 14 days in just 10 minutes of wrapping. Let's test that.

~ Garnier Light Face Powder in Ivory PhP 199

This is their lightest shade and I find this product effective to me. Well, I'm a long-time Garnier user and I swear by them..no breakouts.  Other shades available. Neutral and Beige.

~ Nichido Powder Blush in Sunkissed PhP 88

My first time to buy a Nichido blush. I'm actually eyeing for their South Beach blush.

I adore Sophie Kinsella. I have the complete set of her Shopaholic series. This is her latest, Twenties Girl Php 275, about a working girl named Lara who was mysteriously visited by her great-aunt Sadie's spirit and asked her for one request -- She must find Sadie's missing necklace because she cannot rest without it. Her mission together with her aunt make a hilarious sparring duo. :)

I started reading the book and as usual, Kinsella's wit is still there. It will make you laugh and laugh. Btw, I love getting our books and mags at Bestsellers. It's actually NBS but with an upgrade-style.

Lastly, this is what's inside of the Jellybean paperbag...

An aquamarine dress that I'll use for a special event this Monday. I kinda looked like Alice in this. :) Won't be able to tell you the event yet but I'm sure you'll be surprised. Tihee I'm excited!

Wish me luck for the event. Have a great weekend!

Snapshot of Where I Am Yesterday + Hauls

Here's a preview where I am yesterday. Do you know this place and the long line? 

Full report tomorrow!

We went to the mall after the event and here's what I got:

Sunsilk Damage Repair Conditioner PhP 84 - Mom and I like the Sunsilk Damage Repair Promo Kit so we repurchase another set.

pH Care Cool Wind PhP 46 - My fave variant for my you-know-what :)

L'oreal Elseve Smooth Intense Conditioner PhP 165 - I'm a long-time user of their Royal Jelly variant but I feel like my hair really needs something new.

What do you think ladies? I'm quite a hair-care product fanatic :)

Weekend Loot - 03.05.10

Just a quick post on my loot last weekend.

It is the beginning of the month, meaning it is time to grab those March issues! My fave mags are mostly from Summit Media.. Cosmo and Women's Health specifically. They are now present in bookstores. Better grab them!

March issue of Women's Health with cover girl Ms. Judy Ann Santos. See how her figure and aura changed? I am fascinated with her and how she managed to be like that. Must be good to have someone like Ryan Agoncillo, huh? :)

Anyway, I chose this over Cosmo because it features a lot of tips on losing weight and how to be summer-ready. It's time to show some skin. Hmmmm, I ain't just sure if I can follow their tips seriously. Haha.

I also sported some Tomato accessories on the way to the Cinema and I got this!

Its original price is PhP 200. But hey it is 50% off, and I bought it for PhP 100 only. :) Available in different colors like blue, green, red and violet but the yellow one is the best for me! Cute, right?

'Til the next weekend loot post ladies!

Weekend Loot - 02.27.10

Another weekend had passed meaning another loot to post. Yey! I love these kind of posts. Don't you? I got some good stuffs this week...and it is all PINK! A bracelet, small vanity box and a cute mug.

Bracelet PhP 199 @ SM Department Store

I just love pearls. Plus the idea of having three styles in one chain! It's pretty cheap too. (See my arm, I'm such a balbon. *blush*)

Vanity box PhP 75 @ SM Home World

This one is on sale. It is not too big though to carry all the kikay stuffs. I'm thinking of using these as my nail polish organizer.

Disney Princess Mug PhP 65 @ SM Home World

This is your usual mug one can expect to get on exchange gifts during the Christmas season. But I can't resist the design. Feels like I'm a princess and a child too! Haha. It's suppose to be for kids..and kids at heart. (*points to me*)

How about you? Did you purchased a pink stuff recently?

I would love to know. ♥

Weekend Loot - 02.20.10

Last Saturday, I went to the mall with hubby to accompany him in checking some IT stuffs for our computer. Yah, we're both in the IT industry and maybe that's the reason why we "click." Haha. Though I'm an IT too, I usually get bored when we're in that floor (SM Cyberzone). So while he's busy there, I sneak to my fave store, what else, but Watsons. :)

I got these stuffs:

Face

~Garnier Light Clarifying foam (Php 79)

~Johnson's Baby Powder (Php 20) - I just use baby powder on casual days.

~PureDerm Deep Cleansing Gel / Nutritious Vitamin Pack (Php 29)

~Ponds Flawless White Foam (Php 180) - Used to be Php 240, but Pond's slash their prices recently. Well this is for hubby.

Hair

~Loreal Elseve Re-Nutrition Hair Mask in Royal Jelly (Php 375) - This will be my 2nd tub and my current favorite DIY hair mask..maybe will turn into HG.

~Palmolive Fashion Girl (Php 48) - This is for my lil' sister.

Extra Stuffs

~Block & White Intensive Whitening Lotion (Php 182) - I am about to try this one 'coz I am using their Ultima line. This is a new product and just arrived at Watsons shelves. Promises to whiten in 5 days but I'm doubting it. Haha. But, yeah, I still bought it.

~Medi Guard Mint Waxed Floss (Php 50)

~Mediplast Transparent Plastic Strips (Php 22 for 12 strips)

We're hungry after shopping..we usually are :) We got some snacks at Breadtalk.

We tried to stir away from our usual order Floss. My order was the one in Banana leaf. It's called Pork Satay, I think it's a Thai cuisine actually, not sure though but it tasted like our Pinakbet haha. Good but not that great! Paired with Sola Iced tea, have it in Orange this time.

 

This is how it looks like - Breadtalk Philippines.. Hubby took this photo.

He wishes to have it inside our house :)

We got what we need, we're so full too and we went home happy! Tihee :)
