Haul: Halloween Themed & Other Things On Sale.

Yea so I kinda went shopping again..
I just couldn't resist! Most of the products here (actually all of them) are what I was trying to get my hands on for MONTHS! Yes it has been that long that these things are on standby on my to-buy list because I just couldn't find them anywhere until last October 27, 2015. Me and my brother went to SM Megamall and here are the things that I got:

Let's start with the random things first since I've been so excited to get all of them:

Q & A a day, 5 year journal.
If you've been a fan of reading blogs, pinterest, tumblr, weheartit, you've probably seen this book for awhile now and yes, it is 1 question a day for 5 years. Each day a different question and it lets you see what answers you put in a year or so before when you're in the midst of filling it up. Great for people who loves keeping journals since it has questions that sometimes we tend to neglect but bring out the answers that are worth remembering. I got this from Fully Booked at SM Megamall and the original price was P699 (14.95 USD) but since they were having a 20% off, I only got it for P559.20 (11.96 USD) and yes I've been hunting for this journal for probably a year and I almost bought it online since I gave up looking for it but finally saw that Fully Booked finally has them in stock but they only had about 4 of them and I bought 1 so yeap, 3 left at the moment so if you're trying to find it, go get it!

Quick FX No-Shine Mattifier
Any beauty junkie in the Philippines would know how difficult it is to find this product anywhere. It's always sold out because it's very cheap and works amazing as a makeup primer. And yes, I bought 5 because let's be honest, if you love something so much and see it available, you go and get it because you'll never know when you'll be able to buy 1 again. I got this at Watson's in SM Megamall for P89 (1.90 USD) each. Will do a more indepth review on this product soon!

Classic Carmex Moisturizing Lip Balm
A friend of mine and I were talking the other day about lipsticks, we then went into the discussion about lip balms because I told her that almost every lip balm I use doesn't really work well for me so she told me she uses this and it worked great for her so I picked this one up at SM department store at SM Megamall for P149.75 (3.20 USD) and I'm really excited to try it.

Venzi Soft Lined Journal
I just finished writing on my last journal so I had to get a new one to write on and yeap, I actually wrote on this one already and I like how simple and light it is. It has an inner pocket at the back if you want to store some pictures or receipts or tickets that you would wanna keep. My journals were always very out there with the designs or texture so I guess this would have to be my simplest journal yet and I hope to fill 192 pages of it with worth while memories and plans that I could read back to years after. I got this for P219 (4.68 USD) at National Bookstore in SM Megamall.

Buttoned Shirt
H&M was having their sale as usual, (I honestly don't recall ever going to H&M without a sale or I'm just lucky? :D) and I picked this shirt up it was originally P899 (19.23 USD) but went down to P500 (10.97 USD) and because I love sleeves like these and I wanted something simple to throw on whenever I do some errands but still look put together.

Black Hat
I actually saw this hat at H&M on their sale a few months ago and when I tried it on at that time, I just knew I had to get it because I loved how it looked on me but what made me not get it are my thoughts of "where would I even use it for?" and "wouldn't I look weird walking around with a big hat on?" well, let's just say when I got home that night, it HAUNTED me. I suddenly regret not getting it because for some reason I found myself looking at other girls wearing and styling a hat like this and the normal price was hella expensive. Thankfully, they put it on sale again and I never even thought twice anymore, I picked up my size and just went ahead and got it. The original price was P1,190 (25.45 USD) and it went down to P200 (4.28 USD). SCORE!

For Halloween themed products, I only got a few,

Jack o'lantern and Pug with bat wings socks
When I saw this on Topshop's instagram, all I could think about was I have to have them especially that PUG! They are so cute and so soft that I think I'll live in it every after wash. A little bit on the pricey side but I just couldn't help myself! Anything with an amazing Halloween or festive design definitely gets me and this is worth P245 (5.24 USD) each.

A bunny ears ponytail
Another thing that I found from Topshop and not gonna lie, I actually wanted a headband but they were all sold out so I just went with this one because I always tie my hair anyway and this would be a nice accessory to throw on when I'm out of the house. It is worth P195 (4.17 USD)

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts
Halloween themed food? YES PLEASE! I just got a half dozen Halloween donuts for me and my brother. He loves them actually and picked them himself. My personal favorite would have to be Frankie, that Kitkat though, super creative! And speaking of Frankie, I used my Krispy Kreme Philippines app for a free 1 pc Frankie donut and brewed coffee. Total score! So if you're planning to visit Krispy Kreme, do download the app beforehand to get amazing rewards!

I apologize for the extra long post but I kinda felt like shopping day that day was an adventure and I found the hidden treasures that I was looking for in months. So I would say that was an extra successful trip and worth all that money saying goodbye to me. But I couldn't be the only one who found hidden treasures at the mall right? Leave a comment down below on what you got for Halloween or just any random things that you think you've scored on.

Haul! Halloween, Beauty, Art Related Products.

Me and my brother went to SM Megamall last Friday and we got stuff for Halloween and other random things. I don't know, I'm really a sucker for Halloween, I just love it! Eventhough I'm pretty much a wimp and scared of ghosts. Anyway, here are the things that I got, First the halloween stuff:

Cat Ears with gems headband from H&M P399 ($8.73 USD). I do wanna dress up for Halloween but I decided it to be a little bit low key so I just got these cat ears to be really simple but cute at the same time.

Chromastix Hair Chalk (with applicator) P149 ($3.26 USD) and Chromastix Hair Chalk Intense P99 ($2.17 USD). Like I said, I actually wanted to go abit lowkey on the Halloween Costume so I just decided to put different colors on my hair. Looks really simple and looks like I've made an effort.

Face & Body Crayons from National Bookstore P36.50 ($0.80 USD). I have an idea on how I wanted to dress up my brother as for Halloween so I got this to put face paint on him for that day. I remember getting this for a school fair back in high school and it worked perfectly so hopefully this'll be enough.

lol (Lots Of Love) Eyeshadow in 01 Black Betty from SM Department Store P139 ($3.04 USD) I am contemplating if I wanted to go for a bit of a dark or metallic look for Halloween so I got this palette since I don't have any of these colors in my vanity and would be able to experiment on which one I would like because it has both of the colors that  I imagined that I want to use.

Nichido Tru Lashes Eyelash Adhesive from SM Department Store P60 ($1.31 USD). If you read a previous haul of mine, you'd know that I do not have any eyelash adhesive so I got this one to dress up my eyes and finally get to use my fake eyelashes.

Sweet Cherry Nail Polish in Magic Black from SM Department Store P17.75 ($0.39 USD). I have an idea of a nail art that I wanted to do for Halloween and when I checked my stash I noticed that I was out of black nail polish so I got this and hope that it works well.

For other non-halloween related beauty or fashion products...

Tights 2 Pack from H&M. The original price was P499 ($10.92 USD) but it went on sale for P150 ($3.28 USD). I don't own any tights or stockings and when I saw this, I decided to get it because I don't know when I might need them so it's nice to have some in my closet.

Color My Brows from Etude House in #6 P498 ($10.90 USD). If you have been reading around  my blog posts related to beauty for awhile now, you would know that I really love this product and I kept repurchasing this over and over. I only now noticed that they have a bigger version of what I used to buy but the numbers are different. I used to always get the #2 and that is #6 on the bigger sized ones. I used up all of my small ones so I got this and hopefully it'll last me a lot longer.

Minimal Shirt from Forever 21 P445 ($9.74 USD). I am all about that comfy t-shirt life so I got this one that says Minimal on it. Pretty simple and cute, a good shirt to throw in for everyday or when you're doing errands.

For non-beauty related stuff that I got...

A plain lined notebook from National Bookstore P99 ($2.17 USD). I actually needed a new notebook to write some stuff on since I used all of my usual ones up and my phone is working overtime from taking notes so I got this really light and plain one that I could decorate when I feel like it.

Best Buy Fine tip brushes from National Bookstore P194 ($4.25 USD). I have picked up a new hobby which is caligraphy / lettering or just painting in general. So I got these little brushes to practice on.

Best Buy's 12 Brush from National Bookstore P32 ($0.70 USD). I don't any kind of brush like this since I just got some flat tip ones and I've been wanting to design something that would involve me using something like this so yeap, picked that up and hope that it would be really useful.

So I guess that's it for this haul and hope that you find this somehow helpful if you are trying to find some products or stuff like these and where to get them or how much were they. If you have any more questions or suggestions, don't hesitate to leave a comment down below and I'll be sure to reply to them as soon as I see them.

Also, watch out for my upcoming Halloween series on this blog. So subscribe to me if you haven't already and I'll try my best to not disappoint.

Haul | Lush, Stila, H&M, F21 and more!

I am guilty of going out to go shopping once again. But, I feel that I needed these things so here they are. (I do need them! I do!)

For the drugstore, I only picked up 2 items and those are both nail polishes. 1 is the Chic Nail Color from the Summer Love Collection (with Kathryn Bernardo's name on it) in the shade Lollipop P33 ($0.71 USD) and the other one is from the Kath-queen Collection in the shade Tsarina (Also from the brand Chic) P33 ($0.71 USD). I just feel that I needed some new colors in my collection (which I really should be organizing).

From Lush, I got the Daddy-O Shampoo  100g P445 ($9.58 USD). So I recently (for the past month) have colored and bleached my hair so I now need a purple shampoo to prevent my blondes from going brassy. Though, it says on the bottle that this works for brunettes too and since I have an ombre styled color, I will see how this one would go. And also, is it just me or are purple shampoos hard to find in the Philippines?

From Stila, I got the infamous Stila All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner in Intense Black P745 ($16.03 USD). I used to actually skip the part of doing eyeliners because of how I hate it when it fades throughout the day. A friend of mine recommended me to try this out so I got it today and would make a review on it once I start to use it for a few days / weeks.

From H&M, they were having a huge sale but I only got to pick out one that I actually love and it is these Super Skinny Ankle Jeans that are ripped in the knee section. It's original price was P1690 ($36.37 USD) and I got it for P700 ($15.06 USD). Usually, I'm not much of a jeans person all because I keep complaining on how I kinda feel restricted to move and because it feels so hot, especially with the weather today. But, I do notice that I do need them for some occasions or places that I go to.

In Forever 21, they were also having a sale and I bought 2 tops that I would use as a part of an everyday style and for a special occasion style. 1st one I got is this long navy blue shirt and when I try it on, it kinda looks like a mini dress on me which I think looks great to throw on with shorts or tights if I'm gonna go do some errands but would still look put together. The original price was P655 ($14.09 USD) and I got it for P449 ($9.66 USD).

Another top from Forever 21 is this White Knit Top and a see-through section at the back. I do admit that this may look a little too hot to wear, but when I tried it on, it wasn't really that bad. Although, I would still recommend wearing this during a cooler weather or if I'm heading to a place with air conditioning. The original price was P805 ($17.32 USD) and I got it for P559 ($12.03 USD)

And lastly, I picked up a new hobby which is lettering / painting. So I got myself this Prang Water Color P459 ($9.88 USD) from National Bookstore. It has 16 colors and comes with it's own fine tip brush. This was the last one that they had at the SM Megamall Branch today so lucky me! Although, when I did check the Shangri-la Rustan's National Bookstore, they had more stocks + they also had the Oval-8 set which was P250 ($5.38 USD). Oh well, I just got excited when I saw this so.. yeap.

That is it for my haul, do comment down below if you have already tried out any of these products and how did you like them? Or if you have any more questions, suggestions or request just leave it below and I'll be sure to reply once I see it.

And that reminds me, what shop do you tend to go 1st whenever you go to the mall?
