Mini Mid-Week Haul

I ordered some stuff from eBay and these stuff came in the mail last Thursday.

Finally got hold of Milani Luminous. I've been checking eBay everyday for a month to see if this will be available again. So when I saw this on eBay, of course I couldn't pass up the chance to buy it right away. Yey! I tried it that same day when I went to meet my friend for dinner and it's really nice. It gives you that natural flushed look with a hint of shimmer to it but not too much that it will emphasize your pores. Only drawback is that it's not that pigmented. I had to do 3 swipes of this on each cheek just to make it visible.

Also saw this SanSan mosaic blush in RSV pink. It's really cheap. You can buy this at HBC for around 110Php (less than $3). Surprisingly, it's very pigmented and I love it!

I also heard a lot of good things about Avon Magix that I've decided to give it a try. And I can definitely see what the rave is all about. I've been using it for 2 days now and I can say that I'm very satisfied with it. It has the same consisitency as MAC prep+prime eye. It really keeps my makeup on for the entire day. I swear, I didn't even have to retouch or use oil blots during my entire shift (and I work an 11-hr shift, mind you!).

The pen and the Ponds face cream are just freebies that I got. I don't really use Ponds coz it makes me breakout so I just gave it away. But I'm definitely one happy girl this week!

Pasalubong and Mid-Week Haul

My aunt came from the US for a visit and she gave me this, among other stuff. It's the Liplicious lip colour from Bath and Body Works. It's really nice. It's double-ended. On one side is the Brown Sugar Scrub which is supposed to smoothen your lips and on the other end is a flavored lip color. I got pomegranate. The color is really nice and it tastes yummy too.

Went to Southmall yesterday to buy the elf elements eyeshadows and customized my own palette. But since some of the colors I was looking for were not available, I ended up purchasing this instead. It was on sale according to the SA. From around 500 bucks, they lowered it to Php375. Now I know that there were a lot of people who were not satisfied with this product because, according to them, the e/s are a bit chalky. But I figured that it will be good enough for me to practice on. I'm not really an expert on applying makeup so this will be enough for me to hone that skill (wish!). There are actually some colors that are really nice when i swatched them and I might try them tom when I go to work.

I also got the ELF Duo Eyeshadow Cream in Butter Pecan. I've been meaning to get this for the longest time but it's always OOS. Good thing it was available when I visited the elf stall yesterday. I'll get the Black Licorice next time since it wasn't available then.

I also got some other stuff like Fashion 21 black liquid eyeliner. I'm still in search for the best waterproof eyeliner since I started wearing contacts again and this was highly recommended by a lot of our sisses from Girltalk. I also got the Nichido sheer lipstick in Pink Ice (another recommended item from GT). It has shea butter and feels really good on the lips. The color is also really nice, very subtle. Another item I got was Avon Advanced Eye Perfector. Just hope it can help in removing some wrinkles that I'm starting to get around the eye area.

So that's it for this week. Have a happy weekend people! :)
