BeautyMNL Shopping Experience + Haul



For the past few months, I haven't had the time to go makeup / skin care shopping because whenever I do head to the mall, it's always to get some clothes or shoes and knowing me, shopping for clothes or shoes is already time consuming. I do get to do a quick walk around the beauty section at times but only manage to get 1 or 2 products, which is fine, though I miss just taking my time and going through everything I could see. 

Thankfully, I can do online shopping at BeautyMNL which saves me a whole lot of hassle from traffic and tight spaces at the mall especially during this time since Christmas is coming. 

If you didn't know, BeautyMNL the number one beauty site in the Philippines. The reason for this is because they are partnered with brands that you may have seen in and out of social media with all the products that are raved by beauty junkies as well as new brands to try out.



So, as you are entering the site, you can see the easy navigation of the website with their promos, top brands, best sellers, new arrivals and a navigation for the specifics like skin care, makeup, organic ones, accessories and so on. The site also has a price selection option which is very helpful if you're in a hurry but on a budget.



What I like best about browsing through their products is the reviews section. People who has bought these products rate and share their experiences on using it. This is very helpful when picking out which shade would look best and where and when is the product recommended to use for. Some lipsticks offer a photo of how each shade would look on different skin tones which is a must since not every shade will look the same for each person.

So for the shopping cart, it's pretty much on the top of the navigation bar which is convenient for when you need to edit out your cart and delete or add more things into it. Once you're done shopping, you can now proceed to checkout. There are different modes of payment that you could choose from like credit card payment or paypal, bank deposit or even a cash on delivery (though I rarely see this one).






So the waiting game begins! This is usually the most annoying part of online shopping since you would have to wait and wonder when will your order arrive. BeautyMNL has a tab where you could track your orders. You would be able to see if the payment has been received, when it's processing and when it's on its way plus an email notification when your order is shipped / with their courier and on its way to your shipping address.

I did my online shopping during December 09, 2016 (Friday), and usually they do next day delivery, but since it's the weekend, my order was delivered December 12, 2016 (Monday) which is pretty much the earliest day they could get it to my place. Pretty convenient and surprising since shipping at my place usually takes 2-3 working days for it to arrive.



A little disclosure, I've been personally handpicked by BeautyMNL to do a test run of their site.




List of the things that I got (Click the name for the direct link and prices to each of the products).

I saw that these little things are selling like crazy! I was suppose to get 2 of them, the other one was Rosy Pink but it sold out before I even got to check out. I'm just so into Lip and Cheek tints lately that I'm so excited to try this out.

Some Filipino and Korean Beauty gurus that I watch on youtube has raved about this face mask so I really wanted to try it out, but the location where you could buy this was way too far from my place so I'm actually happy that I was able to get this here and I got two.

Okay, so to be honest, I'm all out of Dry Shampoo so I definitely needed one since I don't wash my hair every single day. This dry shampoo has been very well reviewed that I decided to try it out. 

Makeup sponges are one of the things that I take so much time on cleaning and hopefully, this'll lessen the time I need to finish it up.

I haven't owned a lipgloss since 2013, and that was the year when "matte" was starting to make its way into the trend of lip products, long story short, I just got sucked in, loved matte lipsticks and never got a lip gloss until now. I remember loving how lip glosses looked on me before so I'm really excited to get back into using it again.

I swear I get lured into buying lipsticks all the time. This one, I saw was really cheap and from a brand that I haven't heard of before. Most of the other shades were already sold out, I picked Dublin instead but hey, it still looks pretty.


So those are the items that I got and just so everyone knows, shipping is absolutely free until December 23, 2016! If you plan on doing some last minute Christmas shopping, now's your chance!

Also, if you are a selfie lover like me, BeautyMNL has a contest running for you to win a Printster polaroid of your pretty face and a PHP 200 BeautyMNL gift certificate. All you need to do is join BeautyMNL's #selfieMNL contest! Click here for the complete details.

Real Natura Organics Soft Matte Lip Gem Swatches + Review!



To be quite honest, I have never tried out any organic lipstick so I was really excited when real natura organics sent me these last week. I was already browsing through their products before they sent me these because of the other bloggers that I talked to have loved and raved about their products. So I really appreciate the generosity and the opportunity to try them out.



Item Description: (Copied from realnaturaorganics instagram acc.)

Organic + Vegan
Weather-Proof
SPF 15
Add some natural color to your lips today with Natura Organics line of organic lipstick. Whether you're after a bold red, understated pink or something in between, you'll find it here within our extensive collection. Not only that, but our lipstick line is also entirely free from any potentially skin-harming chemicals, toxins and parabens!


Price:
P659 each ($14.42 USD)

What do I think of this product?
First of all, I love the color selections! Most of them are the shades that I could see myself testing , swatching or grabbing from the counter. The scents are all the same for each of them, scented but smells almost like a powdery perfume scent. I don't know if it's because it's new but nonetheless, not actually bothersome. So I decided to do a little description for each shades. Note that my lips are very pigmented already so this may apply differently to you. My skin is fair if you wanted a general idea on what it may look like on that skin tone.



803 Juicy Orange
If you are into that orange-y lip shade then you'd definitely enjoy this one. It does stain on the lips and the stains looks like you ate a flaming hot cheeto which I'm not complaining, I kinda like it!
804 Sultry Twist  
A red lipstick with an orange undertone. I find this color very comfortable to wear if you are all about the red lip life but wouldn't want to be too bold about it.
805 Coral Mauve 
 Really light pink lipstick. I don't know why but for some reason when I swatch and wore this, all I could think about is Paris Hilton 2002 or back when she had this really glossy bright pink lip. This lipstick does look glossy but has a dry match finish when you wear it.
806 Naked Berry
This is a neon pink lipstick. Perfect if you wanna make a statement or when you are heading to a fun night out. It does leave a stain on the lips almost the exact same shade as when you apply it. Very long lasting.
807 Poppy Velvet
I don't know how else to describe it other than it being a muted kind of red on my lips. Almost looks natural with a hint of an orange-y undertone. Although it's red, I feel that this one is very comfortable to wear as an everyday too.
808 Wine Plum
On all the red shades, this one would have to be my favorite. Actually this one would be my favorite in all of them. It is a deep berry red with cool undertones. I would say that this would be a perfect red for fall or a chill evening on Christmas.
809 Caramel Glaze
This is a nude beige lipstick. I do love my nude lipsticks so I would most likely be reaching out for this the most everyday. So simple and pigmented that I'd definitely enjoy wearing.
810 Cocoa Cabernet
A brown-ish lipstick. Although it isn't that pigmented for me, I find it almost having a red undertone to it. Very cute if you build it up.
Left-Right: Based on the list above.


Is it worth the money?
If you are into organic, vegan makeup then I would highly recommend checking these out because they are all very lovely plus, correct me if I'm wrong, but I was taught that organic makeup does not expire because they are using all natural products. So if you are planning on getting some of these shades but will probably not wear it every single day then it's fine too since it'll last you for awhile.

So that is it for this review and I hope that you've found this useful if you are looking into trying this product out or just want to find an organic lipstick or brand. Leave a comment down below if you have any more further questions or suggestions or if you've tried out these lipsticks, how have they worked for you?
