Moonlit Bazaar Haul

I went to the Moonlit Bazaar in Rockwell on Saturday alone, without any plans to meet anyone or any idea where or how to get a ride home, and, to top it all off, not a lot of cash on hand.

You can say I was a woman with a mission (...or something like that)


Anyway, I really wanted to go to this bazaar because I knew Digital Traincase and Sleek Make Up PH will be there, and I felt like I needed to stock up on make-up so I have something to use on future make up gigs. I only picked up a few though, and most of them are for me but I can't say that it's a failure.




Anyway, here they are! My bazaar hauls:

Oh So Special, Original and Sunset eyeshadow palettes

I have been wanting to try Sleek makeup ever since I saw Michele1218 do a tutorial on one of the eyeshadow palettes. She mentioned that this is a UK brand and shipping was expensive so I thought I would never get to try this. Thanks to SleekMakeupPH for making this available here, and at affordable prices, too!

 

Sleek indeed

Suede, Flamingo, Scandalous, Pixie Pink

Sleek Blushes. Good thing I don't like all the shades. I only got the matte ones.

 

Digital Traincase was also there. Got this NYX Eyeshadow Base from them. I have not tried to read any reviews about this primer, but I am hoping this is just as good as the Urban Decay primer I have.

 

NYX Blush in Mocha from Digital Traincase as well. "Might" give this as a gift if I can prevent myself from using this myself

 

Curiosity got the better of me so I got this Addis Ababa shade.

 

 

Milani Liquif'Eye Metallic Eyeliner Pencil. Recommended by my favorite beauty guru, Hollyannaeree. This is the best pencil for tightlining and for lining the waterline because it glides on easily

 

 

NYX Round Lipstick in Electra from Ysh's Boutique. Most of the lipsticks I own are neutral shades, and I thought I should have a bold one.  

 

 Rings at Php100 each

  

Mascara guide at Php40! Got this from the same store I got my rings :)

I love the colors of my belt bracelets, I can't decide which one is my fave! Got this from a store called Jean and Rosz for Php150 per set (3 pcs per set). I only got these from them, but checking their multiply page, I should've gotten some of the other accessories too. They have pretty good selection at affordable prices.

 

Bath and Body works PocketBac in Vampire Blood.

 

I wanna live in Paris (who doesn't?!). But until then, I think I would just settle for Paris inspired items like this notepad I got for Php75.

 

 I wish it has more nice quotes like this, but I have only seen 2

Got this pair from Satchi Store. Ever since I saw the leopard print loafers of one of my favorite bloggers, HRH Collection, I thought I wanted to get one. I never really made an effort to look for one but at the back of my mind, I really wanted one. So when I saw this at the moonlit bazaar, I got it right away. This pair is soo comfy because of its anti-blister foam lining and insole cushion. It's nowhere near the Steve Madden pair ( I don't think I have seen one at a Steve Madden store) and I would probably want to look for an exact pair (or atleast one that covers my feet more), but this one is not bad at all! It's boyish--because of its shape, yet girly--because it's leopard! Exactly what I want :)

I WANT MORE!

My Lips are Sealed

I used to hate wearing lipstick. Not so much the look of it on me, but the feeling of it on my lips--thick and sticky. I remember I got a Clinique lip gloss and tried wearing it back in college freshman year. I was so uncomfortable! I don't know how to eat my churchuria (we munch a looooot before) without touching my lips. This made retouch almost a hassle and giving up food just so I can maintain freshness of my lip gloss is not an option! So after a day (I wanna say after a week, but I'm pretty sure it took a day only), I gave up on my lip gloss. I would only use Body Shop's Born Lippie (I still do) and nothing else on my lips.

I was a lipstick/lipgloss hater until I met (well, more like came across) Hollyannaeree, my favorite beauty guru on Youtube. She, together with all the other beauty gurus, is the reason I have a growing addiction for make-up and today, I will share with you my small but growing collection of lipsticks :)

I love the clean make-up look. And what better way to achieve that than to seal it with a nice shade of lipstick:

Revlon Colorburst in Soft Nude. This should be worn with a lipgloss or else, you would look ill or washed out. I almost always mix my other lipsticks with this if I want them to look less intense and more nude-looking.

 

 Mac Cremesheen in Speed Dial. Honestly, when I bought this, I thought I was buying the perfect nude pink lipstick. When I got home and tried it on, it looked more like a very bright pink lipstick on me. Still, I loove it! I would not wear it in the office though, it's too much for my boring workplace. I only wear this during the weekend.

Covergirl Continuous Color in Parisian Pink. Same with the Mac, I thought I was buying the perfect pinkish nude lipstick but this turns out to be too bright and light for my skin tone. I thought it was wasted money for me but when I tried it on a month after, I loved it. This is almost exactly the same shade as my Mac Speed Dial, just a tiny bit lighter.

 

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Prim Rose. A Hollyannaeree fave, looks good on her but not what I expected on me. Still not the pinkish nude I was looking for, tsk. Still, this works for me. 

 

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Coral Berry. I mix some of my Revlon Soft Nude lipstick with this to make it look a little bit less orange on me. 

 

Guerlain Kiss Kiss Essence de Gloss Lip Gloss in 460 Ambre. This is pure LOVE. The perfect nude/peach lip gloss for me. Perfect taste, and smell. Amazing! Looks so glam too!

 

Guerlain Kiss Kiss Lipstick in 363 Rose De La Reine. Packaging just screams glamorous (and expensive)! A little bit bulky though, but I don't mind. This can be an accessory in your purse when you're at a party :) I love the packaging more than the lipstick itself. Color is too sheer, has a lot of glitters (bothers me a lot) and lipstick itself is just too small given the cost of this product. I have twisted this all the way up and you can see how small the lipstick bullet is. I don't even use this often (maybe 5 times?).

 

Stila High Shine Lipstick in Aida. Got this as a gift from my aunt (i think). It looks dark but it's actually very sheer, like a lip gloss. The color is kind of bronze/brown/peach when swatched, perfect for day make up

 

The Face Shop Extreme Rouge Gloss in BR801. This is almost an opaque lip gloss, almost like a lipstick. The perfect nude that does not make me look like i'm sick. 

 

Stila Lip Graze Stick in Vanilla. This is a nice pinkish nude lip gloss. It has a hint of sparkle (bothers me a little). Can be worn alone or over your favorite lipstick. Although I love that this is very soft and creamy, it makes sharpening VERY messy. Wasted a lot of product too when I sharpened this last night since the tip got stuck inside the sharpener. Thought of it just now, maybe I should keep it in the fridge before sharpening it? Hmm...

There you are! I have learned that choosing the right shade and formula of lipstick is key to having a good lipstick experience. Don't be a lipstick hater just because of one bad experience. Give these little bullets a chance and soon you'll see how it can make you look more polished and put together.

P.S. I plan to get Lime Crime Retrofuturist lipstick. Though I am not into red lips, I feel every girl should have atleast one. Plus, Lime Crime Lipsticks are just too cute to pass up!

Things I am loving now

This is my first ever blog post and I have decided to share you random things I love. I know, I know, very anti-climactic. Well, I did tell you I am a late bloomer. But some believe that your things say a lot more about your personality than you would think. Soooo, here you go 

Kept the box of Custaroons I got from a very small pastry shop called Custaroonery in St Padre Pio Compound. It's the perfect Tiffany Blue color, I love it! I also love that it's the same color as my room, and it's a little bit victorian/venetian style which I would love to incorporate in my tiny bedroom. Oh and the custaroons I got were yummy too

Small perfume bottles I got for Php30 each

I don't know what this is, maybe a cookie or cheese platter but I use it as jewelry bed. Got it for Php130. BTW, I tried to arrange the pieces artistically. I obviously failed. 

I wanna say this is a butter dish, but I am not sure (haha). Anyway, I use it to keep some change, but it could keep some jewelry as well. Got it for Php35!

My favorite lipgloss as of the moment, Guerlain Kiss Kiss Essence de Gloss in 460 Ambre. Tastes and smells good, and it's the perfect peach gloss for me.

Versace Bright Crystal perfume. Sweet and light. I can smell this alll daaaay long and I won't get dizzy or sick. Oh and yeah, I am team Jen :)

Crown Pen from Fully Booked at Php69 each. I swear, I can stay all day in Fully Booked and I will never get bored. 

Princess mirror I got from a store called Apostrophe. Forgot how much this is though. I love how it's so victorian-esque 

My new adidas Originals Honey Mid Lux! The lace made it so girlyyy!
