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?

Monthly Favorites | August 2015

Hello everybody! So August is my birth month and I am very sad that it has gone by so quickly. I've gotta say that this month wasn't exactly my best of the year but I'm still pretty thankful that there are some little things that manages to make me smile. With that, here are the things that I have been using very frequently during this month. And also, I have decided to actually put direct links on where you would be able to find it and get it for yourselves too.

Play #25 manicure from Etude House. P128 ($2.74). I have been only using this color for the whole month and I think until the first half of September. This is one of the best examples (for me) of what color I will never get sick of looking and also, works pretty well with every occasion or just a casual day. Very easy to pair up with other colors from my clothes and makeup. And as you all may already know, I really love the Etude House Play collection. 

Orly Matte Top Coat. P499.75 ($10.71). I got this at SM Department Store In SM Megamall but HERE is an alternative link. Get it here. I've always been a huge matte "fanatic", I just love and appreciate everything matte because I think that it is something that cannot be overdone. I have been eyeing this top coat for awhile and decided to finally get it during my birthday shopping and honestly, I do not regret it, I just love it and you would see me play with this alot. I also made a review on this product, check it out HERE.

Prettywhenpinched Lip and Cheek Tint from Bench. P180 ($3.86). Not gonna lie, this is an old product of mine that I purchased way back but never really appreciated it, although it used to be a holy grail during my high school days. So, I started reusing it this month and every so often when I glance at the mirror I could see why I loved this product so much back in the day. It isn't subtle at all, but it does go perfectly fine on my skin which I am very happy about. I'm not quite sure if this product still looks the same or has the same packaging or formula since I haven't visited a bench store for awhile but I'm sure it is still available. The only downside I could say about this product is when you apply it, you will need to be abit precise on how much you put into your face and also quickly blend it in since it is pigmented and dries up pretty fast. 

Purederm Argan Oil Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes. P79.75 ($1.74). I got this at SM Department Store in SM Megamall, but it is also available in Watsons. This product is what I am absolutely raving about and I know that I am getting quite annoying with this because it is just a makeup remover but with my experience of makeup removers, I just cannot find that one thing that would completely remove stubborn eye makeup and with this, it removes it with minimal effort, just a few swipes and the eye makeup is gone. It is pretty cheap and worth every penny. For more of an in depth review of this product, click HERE.

Denim shorts from Forever 21. The price of this was originally P1,015 ($22.17) but after the 50% off, it was P507.50 ($11.09). Couldn't really find this in their website anymore. I recently got this during my birthday haul and I have been wearing it so much ever since. I threw it in the laundry a couple of times but once it dries, I just quickly put it on and use it again. I seriously cannot explain more on why I love this shorts so much rather than I'm just so comfortable on using it and it looks great. 

Penryn And The End Of Days Series by: Susan Ee. See them HERE. I have been finding books that I would again love and have been abit unsuccessful with that during this month, however, I did stumble upon this book while searching for reviews and recommendations on the web and after reading the first book, I got quite addicted to it that I got myself the other 2 books too and have finished reading  them all in just a few days. I highly recommend this if you are up for a good read especially if you are the type to enjoy fantasy stories, or if you are just finding something that would help you pass the time.

So those have been my favorites for this month and do leave a comment below if you have tried out these products too and how much did you like them? Also comment if you have any more questions or suggestions for me whether it'll be a similar or new product or just blogging tips or ideas.

Hope that this has helped you if you are looking into getting these products. Thanks for reading and until the next blog!

Birthday Haul!

Welcome back to my blog! If you're new here, Hi! I'm Joyce and today I will be showing all of you what I got for my birthday last August 5th. It's not really that much but I honestly wanted all of these and some are just necessities for me to get since I'm already at the mall.

So first I went to H&M and just got 1 item which is...

If you guys read my June favorites this year, I got the black version of this exact shirt and I have been wearing it all the time, but at that time, they didn't really have any other colors other than black, so when I saw this, I just instantly got it and I love it just as much as I love my black version of this. It is P499 ($10.90)

Next, I went and did a little damage at forever 21..

So I got myself just one of this basic white top because I have a lot of these but I don't have the white one. And sometimes, when I do some mix and matches on my wardrobe especially with my cardigans, I always don't have a really nice white top underneath. Or just maybe put on a simple and clean looking top when it's really hot. This costs P165 ($3.60)

This faded jean shorts was something I've been looking for awhile but whenever I went to the mall, I just couldn't find one exactly like it and when I saw this, I just knew I had to get it plus it was on 50% off so that just really made me so happy because I did need a new pair of shorts since it is super hot in the Philippines and these are exactly what I wear most days. The price of this was originally P1,015 ($22.17) but after the 50% off it was P507.50 ($11.09)

The last clothing piece that I got from Forever 21 is this casual / Bomber jacket. It is leather and I don't care if it is currently super hot here in the Philippines, I just really wanted to own one for so long but it was always too expensive, or if you find a cheaper one, then it would most likely have an awful design or bad quality. I was delighted to see that this was also on 50% off so I tried it on, loved it, bought it. No regrets at all! I'll find some time to actually wear this, I just know it! The price of this jacket was originally P2,055 ($44.89) after the 50% off it was P1027.50 ($22.43).

For accessories, some of what they had there was buy 1 take 1 and just my luck, it was their last day so I got this ring that has a heart and small silver stud that has this little chain connecting to the smaller sized ring that has a dangling stud too. And then the necklace is just like a bar that has some silver jewels in it. The price was based on the higher priced item which was the necklace that costs P139 ($3.04)









So by this time, I was actually getting tired already, (I so need to be alot more fit) so I got myself some drugstore items since I was already there. 

Alright so I got myself some new stocks of the iWhite Nose Pack. This worked wonders for me and my brother so I bought 5 of the small packs which is 3.5ml and a piece costs P18 ($0.39) because I can't get it anywhere near my place anymore, from what I heard it's always sold out. 

Next I got myself a new makeup remover and it is the Purederm Argan Oil makeup remover cleansing towelettes. It has 30 Wet towelettes inside and costs only P79.75 ($1.74) and from trying it for a few times, it removes my whole face makeup even those hard to remove eye makeup with just a few light swipes on my face. So I like this and will definitely be purchasing more when I get the chance. 

I also got myself a moisturizer, the Myra E Daily Sun Protection Moisturizer that has SPF 15 and is 50ml. This costs P99.75 ($2.18). I have used this before when I was addicted to biking and pretty much went out even if the sun is at it's highest. This worked great for me although I stopped that time because I wasn't sure if this was the product that broke me out or my cleanser. I never really knew which one since I started to use new products since then but I am now giving it another chance.

I got a white eyeliner because I've been seeing this trend with using white instead of black ones for the waterline on their eyes and decided to try it myself. I got the Fashion 21 Color Pen '99- White and it costs P85 ($1.86). It is a double end eyeliner which one side is the actual pencil and the other side is a smudger brush. After using this on the day of my birthday, I think that it actually survived the hot weather and didn't really run all over my face.. unless I'm missing something because it's white? Well, I'm pretty happy with it and the product feels so creamy that I don't actually have to push it into my waterline so much just to have it visible and the smudger brush is also useful for smudging the eyeshadow.

And this product, I actually put this on my wish list a few weeks ago and I am super happy that I finally got it and currently playing with it. It is the ORLY Matte Top Coat and it costs P499 ($10.90). I won't be saying much about this product at the moment because I will be doing a separate review for it, all I could say is that I'm excited to actually try it on other colors and how long it would lasts on me. 

Lastly, before heading home, I went to Hortaleza to pick up some hair bleach (Yes, I decided to finally go and do it - Sadly though, I threw away the pack before I could take a picture of it but the brand was Medea P18  = $0.39) I did a ombre / balayage type / style on my hair and it did turn out orange and I will be repeating the process next week and hopefully I'll achieve the color that I want by then. Then I also got myself a cute little blending sponge, it's pink and the brand was actually in Japanese so I didn't understand it, but for sure other Hortaleza branches would have these. I never owned a little sponge like this and the actual ones that I see everybody use costs so much but this one, I only got it for P59 ($1.29). So far, I'm having a really hard time cleaning it but I will say more soon after I get to play with it more. 

I also got some other personal necessities and also a dozen of donuts at Krispy Kreme and my black forest cake at Red Ribbon. 

So that has been the things that I got myself for my birthday (Read my Birthday Tag HERE) and if you guys have the same stuff or tried the things that I actually mentioned here, do leave a comment to tell me your experience or if you have questions for me about these products too and I'll try my best to answer your questions. 

I will be posting I think 1 or 2 more birthday themed ones so stay tuned for that! Thanks for reading and until the next blog!

Monthly Favorites [June 2015]

Yes! It is monthly favorites time! This is probably my most favorite thing to blog about because I prepare quite a lot for it and really think about the things I've been obsessing on. And I also like watching or reading about favorites because I end up with a really long list of things to get my hands on, so if I do the same to you, I apologize. So this month hasn't really been a shopping month for me since I just bought 1 or 2 products this month but all of these are what I kept using repeatedly throughout June. Let's get started!

Alright, The Guess Seductive "I'm Yours" Perfume. So as you guys could see I almost finished up the bottle because it is just so good that I never leave home without it sprayed on me and yes, going out and walking around the subdivision counts. I am just super obsessed with this. 

Price and where did I buy it?

I didn't, my mom did and she just sent it to me all the way from Israel. And since it's a gift, I don't know how much was it. But in Amazon it says that it is $30.98.

Why is it my favorite? Because besides from me obsessing over it, my friends just said that I smelled unique and they like it. Very fragrant but not too overpowering and it lasts on me all day even if I'm sweating so badly.

The Stila All Day Liquid Lipstick in 03 Patina. So this liquid lipstick is now my holy grail lipstick ever! I had so much doubts before I even got it because of my dry lips, but after trying it out, it was no longer an issue to me. The color is amazing on every skin type and I honestly will wanna get the other colors too like Aria and Beso. I also did a review about this product and you can read about it HERE.

Price and where did I buy it?P1,250 ($27.71) at Rustan's Shangri-la Mall. Yeap a bit overpriced here compared to other countries who only have them for about $22.

Why is it your favorite? Well besides of it being actually moisturizing and has an amazing color, it really lasts on your lips all day! I wouldn't really have to worry about it coloring my teeth because it doesn't bleed or transfer and it has a matte finish. 

Moving on, This is a bag from Parisian. It doesn't really have a name (or I just couldn't find it on their site) but for me it looks amazing. I have been using this bag everyday ever since I bought it and I would say, it is totally worth the price.

Price and where did I buy it?

P1,000 ($22.12) at the SM Department Store in SM Megamall. 

Why is it my favorite? This bag is pretty cheap compared to the other bags out there that probably looks exactly the same as this, I love and hate the fact that you can't really open the bag easily, so you won't have to worry about other people sticking their hand inside your bag when you carry this around. It is super cute and I've been looking everywhere for a bag like this but the bags I usually find are way too expensive and way too small. This one is pretty much a decent size since I have a bad habit of carrying so much stuff whenever I leave the house. 

Omigosh, I got this dress from Forever 21 and have been loving it ever since. The dress ends a little higher above the knee and the sleeves end above your elbow. It also has a little black ribbon in the middle that doesn't run so you won't have to worry about ruining it.

Price and where did I buy it?

P1,275 ($28.20) at Forever 21 in SM Megamall

Why is it my favorite? It looks super cute alone and then when I wear it, it flatters my body type without it being too tight, too short or too baggy. It really fits perfectly and I am finding every excuse for me to wear it. It isn't too dressy and can be worn as an everyday dress.

I have been practically living in this shirt for the longest time. When I'm done with it, I wash it and when its dry, I wear it again. Everybody notices it due to my selfie taking with this as my shirt. I don't mind. I love it.

Price and where did I buy it?

P499 ($11.04) at H&M in SM Megamall

Why is it my favorite? Because it is super comfy even if it is super hot right now in the Philippines, wearing this won't really make me wanna take it off, it works well with the weather. I love stripes and I think that it looks great on me. If H&M had different colors of these, I for sure would get them. Sadly they only had black which I'm not complaining, I love black anyway xD.

For snacks, I am very much addicted to Puto Seko. It is a Filipino rice-based cookie. I have been loving this since I was a kid but I stopped for awhile for I don't know what reason but recently find myself reaching out for it everytime me and my brother head to the groceries.

Price and where did I buy it?

P20 ($0.44) at Shopwise

Why is it my favorite? I just love how it just melts in your mouth and no need for you to keep biting it as if its a jawbreaker. I don't necessarily have a favorite brand or recipe for it, as long as I hear it is Puto Seko, then I'm down. I love snacking on these. 

Lastly, Music. Last month I was addicted to listening to Zella Day on a loop (And I still do until today) but now I am loving Tove Lo's Truth Serum album too! This and Zella Day's Kicker album songs are on my most played list on my ipad.

Why is it my favorite? Because for me her voice and her lyrics are quite unique but aren't really that deep. My friends didn't knew who Zella Day was and when I made them listen, they said I was darn too deep and then when I talked about Tove Lo, They just loved her. I can't even explain more on why I love it, just go listen and you'll know what I mean. 

So that has been my favorites for the month of June 2015. Are anyone of these things your favorite too? Hit the comment section below to tell me what was your favorites for this month because honestly, I love love love favorites and could go on all day just watching and reading other people's post about it. 

Thanks for reading! Until the next blog.

Back To School: Beauty Essentials!

Good Day Everybody! I know I'm pretty late with the back to school post (classes in the Philippines started last June 1st) but I think this will still be helpful if you wanted to grab some stuff that you now know that you need or if you're classes haven't started yet, then you'll need these beauty products for sure. So let's get started!

So, when I was in high school, I experimented with lots of makeup but due to the school policy, I had to keep it to a minimum. Although, that didn't really stop me to look pretty and still express myself yet still looking natural.

1. Concealer for me back then is my best friend. With this product, I could hide some unwanted blemishes or spots that my adolescent days were giving me. I didn't really like having them and it irritates me that my classmates tend to notice it whenever they talk to me. So this is a life saver. (Fake Up Concealer by: Benefit. I got it on a travel size from the flawless four package that included other products for about P1,300.)

2. A little blush goes a long way. Ever had one of those days where you look like you just wanna go home, you feel that your face is so flushed that it makes you look like you aren't a morning person? Well, try and invest on some light blush on. Besides looking cute, having some color in your face makes you look like you did some effort putting yourself together since it makes your cheeks pop but not clashing with your school uniform. Finding the right light blush color for your skin tone would really look natural and doesn't restrict you from experimenting with makeup while at school. (Nichido Cheek Mousse from Watsons. I remember getting this for about P164 before.)

3. Hair tie. Okay, seriously though, how many hair ties do you lose in a week? Uhuh, yea me too. I lose quite a lot because when your at school, you tend to want to tie your hair in the middle of the day and sometimes other girls would borrow from you too. Taking it off at the end of the day and finding it the next day is always a struggle if you aren't a super neat kid (Yea, I'm not organized with my hair ties at all). So, do try and buy those little hair ties that are way too many for you to even lose and put it in your makeup bag. That way, you won't have to waste time struggling to find where you last placed your hair tie and actually do some work with that time. (Hair ties from Forever 21. P89)

4. Lip Balm. Yes you do need this since when you are in school, the weather seems to be on it's best with confusing how you should feel. (Especially now in the Philippines it's either raining or sunny.) I don't know why but my lips are the best to react to weather changes so this is a necessity for me or if you just have really dry lips and don't feel like packing on some vaseline on it then this is the best way to go. This is also a replacement if you wanted some color on your lips but don't want to go to heavy on lip sticks, just buy the tinted ones that you know won't break the school policy. (Cherry Chapstick from Watsons. I forgot the price but below P100)

5. Hair Removal Cream. Okay, so I had this issue before that when I shave or pluck, my arm pits just gets irritated by it and makes me self conscious whenever there's an event at school that I must wear some things that are sleeveless. So if you are having the same problem, you could try using the hair removal cream. Just make sure you do a patch test first before you actually use it to make sure you aren't allergic to the product and make sure you follow the instructions. (Veet Hair Removal Cream from Watsons. More or less P116)

6. Powder. I think that if you don't like having a full on coverage but have super oily skin, then do invest on some good powder. It makes you look a bit more flawless and controls the oils on your skin. There are just those times where you'll have to reapply but not really that bothersome. (Hello Flawless Powder by: Benefit. I got it on a travel size from the flawless four package that included other products for about P1,300.)

Alright, so I guess that are some of the beauty necessities that got me through my high school days. It isn't a lot yes, but it did make a difference. So hopefully you guys found this helpful and +1 or comment down below your suggestions or what are your beauty essentials for school.

Thanks for reading guys, until the next blog!

Mini Haul: Benefit, Lush, Etude House & Forever 21!

Dear bro, thanks for taking this pic.
And understanding my vanity.

I just got home, with goodies from the mall! *Insert overjoyed greeting here*

WARNING: MY NAILS ARE CHIPPED SO I APOLOGIZE IF IT MAY BOTHER SOME OF YOU. I WAS TOO EXCITED TO POST THIS BLOG THAT I FORGOT TO REDO MY NAILS.

So, I am going to make my 1st ever OFFICIAL "Mini Haul". A mini haul because I didn't really buy much but I am telling you, after buying all these stuff I feel like I bought too many already. 

Okay, so if you guys read my blog before this one, I mentioned that me and my brother went to the mall today. Yeap, we did go and bought his PSVita but what was unexpected was my little splurge. So without further ado let's get started!

Rustan's "Beauty" floor.

After buying my brother's PSVita at Datablitz at SM Megamall, we then went to Shangri-la so I could go and get some benefit cosmetics. To be honest, I could count with only 1 hand the times I shopped at Rustan's all because it intimidates me since I always see people who "look rich" going in and out of there and kind of made me think that Rustan's has pretty expensive stuff, in which case is yes its true. 

Okay so, when me and my brother went inside the beauty floor I thought I just saw heaven. Seriously, EVERYTHING is there like MAC, NARS, Channel, Dior, EVERYTHING! (Except for urban decay which I didn't actually notice if they have it or not.). We went straight to the benefit section because I was so excited and I was thankful that a really nice woman assisted me on picking the items I needed. 

A little disclaimer: I am not sponsored by Benefit or any brands that I will talk about here. This is not a review since I haven't tried the items yet except testing it before I bought it. I may or may not post reviews on these items in the future.

What I purchased at Benefit: 

It took me a few minutes trying different samples until I finally decided which ones I'm gonna get which are: the limited edition flawless four travel kit and the roller lash mascara.

Roller Lash by: Benefit

 Price in Philippine Peso : P1,300

Do I even need to explain why I considered making the roller lash to be one of my 1st purchases at benefit? 

From what I heard and watched, this is such an amazing mascara. They said that it does the job of the regular eye curlers (that is a pain in the ass inside my makeup bag I may add) while making it longer and makes the eyes look more wide open.

It has a plastic applicator which as a "beginner" on using mascara is quite common for me to encounter whenever I buy them. Well, from watching make-up gurus advice is that not all plastic applicators grab the eyelashes enough to give it a proper curl but then again I saw most of them now are loving this mascara so when I saw it I just got to have it in my makeup collection. 

Limited Edition: The Flawless Four Travel Kit.

Price in Philippine Peso: P1,300

This kit is actually the reason I really wanted to go to benefit. It has the Stay flawless 15-hour primer, Fakeup hydrating crease-control concealer, Hello flawless oxygen wow brightening makeup SPF 25 PA+++, Hello flawless custom powder cover-up and a little brush with benefit engraved in it all in tiny travel sized containers which is good for me because I really wanted to test all these out that it worried me it will cost so much, but with this it is a lot more cheaper and it won't go to waste.

I actually saw this kit at benefitbeautyph on instagram, for a moment after I saw it in person I was kinda worried that its too pricey because all of them are so tiny, but then I thought that its not like I'll be able to use all of these on one go and again, its a chance for me to try everything.

It's Lush Time!

Having to be used to just buying drugstore makeup and skin care items, it was quite a surprise that I finally invested more on these items that I would normally just roll my eyes on and move on because of how expensive they are. But I guess, there is a time for everything. Like me, all of a sudden caught myself walking into the lush store at Shangri-la!

Again, I am thankful that the ladies that assisted me are very nice, helpful and treated me like any other interested buyer on their products. I won't lie, the prices didn't actually surprise me. I don't know if its because I starting investing and being more open minded about these products that I realized that lush has practical prices on their items.None of which I am brave enough to buy yet but I am going to read and watch reviews about certain products that caught my eye. 

"Breath Of Fresh Air" Toner Water by: Lush

Price in Philippine Peso: P325

Oh yes, I couldn't help it. This toner caught my eye because 1st, let's be real: it is one of the cheapest ones I saw and I never had a toner that is "spray-on". Plus, I realized that after reading the ingredients, I actually managed to pronounce and know most of them which actually made me fee smart inside (sure Joyce, everyone would want to buy an item that makes them feel smart).

For real though, I did actually saw someone on youtube actually using this and she said it works great for her. I didn't go inside Lush aiming to see this item but when I did, I decided to go ahead and give it a try.

ETUDE HOUSE!

There is just no question when you see me walk into an etude house stall, I absolutely LOVE their stuff! Most of my makeup are all from here like my BB cream, my eyebrow gel and pencil, my nails stuff and my face masks. 

I didn't really need to repurchase my makeup and nail colors because like what I'm aiming for, I want to be more adventurous on the makeup field so, I just went ahead and bought only my favorite face mask:

"Tea Tree" Face Mask by Etude House

Price in Philippine Peso: P58

I just started using this mask since January and until now, it never fails to pamper me. Besides from its great smell, it leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth for at least 3 days. 

I really love using this while I'm just laying down and having those I just wanna daydream moments. I honestly feel like I'm gonna fall asleep while having this on my face for 15 minutes. 

I might make a review about this item because I am just loving it so much!

UPDATE: My review for this mask is located HERE.

And I thought I just wanted to check out the makeup I was curious about..

Whenever I go to SM Megamall, I just have this habit that I'll go inside H&M and Forever 21 because most of my current favorite clothing pieces that I own are from there. I tried and failed to break this habit but then I needed wifi. For some reason, I can't connect to the wifi from any other location except inside forever 21 and I am not making this up, I just tried to go in to see if I'll get a signal and then when I did I started chatting with my mom while walking around the store and finding this super cute dress. 

"Short Black Dress" from Forever 21

Price in Philippine Peso: P1275

I just realized it may look abit creepy but my goodness, this dress is super cute when I put it on. I really couldn't resist not getting it. It was under the "California" section and it was the last one there. And yes, it's the one I'm wearing on the 1st photo up on this blog. 

I wasn't really a fan of the "peter pan" collar because whenever I try on clothing that has that collar, I look like I'm a little girl. I'm already small so making me wear things like this really doesn't flatter me although when I tried this on I just loved how it looked on me. Oh well, a first for everything once again.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, it's been a great shopping or splurging day for me and I do not regret buying these items, then again I have yet to try them all (except from the face mask since I use it all the time but you know what I mean.). 

I am currently munching on some doughnuts while editing this blog and I will probably regret eating so much later on but anyway....

I will now publish this and hope that you guys would also share and recommend me some items to try out because let's face it, I'm pretty much a newbie and would really appreciate your suggestions.

Until next blog!
