December 2k13 Favorites

Hello my dear beautiful people! :D How's your week going? I hope you are having a great one. Moving on, please excuse my tardiness with regards to posting my monthly favorites. ^^v I was actually not really planning to make a post about my December favorites because I just shared my Top 13 Products of 2013 a few days ago and I don't want to bombard you with my favorite products. (How many times did I mention the word "favorite/s"? Haha) But then, I realized I have some awesome stuff to share with you, guys, so here it is. ;D

  ✿ ❀ ✿ ❀ ✿ ❀ ✿ ❀ ✿ ❀

❀ Burt's Bees Radiance Day Cream

- This cream makes my skin feel so soft and smooth. It is also so light and perfect to use before applying makeup. This is a bit on the pricier side but a little goes a very long way and I think it's worth it.

✿ Quick FX No-shine Mattifier

- This primer does the job so well. It makes my skin so smooth and the makeup application so easy. It also keeps my makeup in place for quite a long time and keep the oiliness at bay. An awesome product for a cheap price.

❀ Fashion 21 Single Eyeshadow in 20

- I use this baby as a brow powder and it works pretty great. The color is perfect for me. It gives that nice, natural look. Oh, and it is inexpensive.

✿ MAC Notoriety Eyeshadow Quad

- I love all the colors in this palette. Of course, the pigmentation, texture, and longevity are also perfect. 

 ❀ Japonesque Precision Lash Curler

-This baby curls my eye lashes without giving that "L" kind of curl. 

 ✿ Artist Studio Angled Eyeshadow Brush

- If I remember it right, I got this brush for only less than 30 Php and I can't believe how awesome it is. I can do a complete eye look with just this brush. I can also use it to contour the nose. It doesn't shed or anything. I have washed it a couple of times already but it is still pretty strong and great. A must-have.

  

 ❀ Ever Bilena Matte Lipstick in Mauvey

- I love the color, longevity, price and availability of this lipstick. It also doesn't dry out my lips. I guess the only thing that I'm not a big fan of is the packaging.  

✿ Watsons Cleansing Facial Wipes

- This works great on removing any makeup, may it be waterproof or not. It also leaves my skin feeling moisturized. Lastly, it is pretty cheap which is awesome. 

❀ Garnier Oil Clear Self-Heating Sauna Mask

- This mask leaves my skin feeling so fresh and clean. I also think that it does help prevent oiliness. (BTW, I have combination skin and I do get so oily at times. But thanks to this, I guess, because now I don't get tooooo oily. ) It is also so inexpensive and it contains a lot. I've used  a sachet 5 times already and I still have a bit left on that one. I have a quite a small face, though. 

 ✿ Abahna White Grapefruit & May Chang Natural Wax Scented Candle

- I love the scent of this candle. It is so refreshing. 

❀ Heart Shaped Earring 

- I got this pair of earrings as a birthday gift from a dear friend of mine and I really love it. She knows me too well. I've been wearing this nonstop.

That's it my loves. Short and sweet. I hope you enjoyed. Thank you for spending time with me. Let's talk some more later. Bye! xo

Random Haul | December '13 ^^,

I wanted to unwind so I went to Quezon City. I roamed around Trinoma and SM North EDSA and I shopped a little. Just a little I promise. :D Let me share to you now what I actually ended up getting. :)

------------------------------

First, I went to Beauty Bar which is located at the 3rd floor of Trinoma Mall.

1.) Japonesque Precision Eyelash Curler (750 Php)

- I've been wanting this for the longest time because of Sineady Cady / TheMakeupChair. She loves this so much and uses this in most of her videos. It does a great job curling her lashes. I hope it would work well for me, too. Also, it just looks so cool and unique. Don't you agree? :)

2.) Andrea Perma Lash - Flair Short Black (225 Php)

- These days, I have been having a "thing" for lashes. I don't really care about them before. Well, maybe going through the lashes phase can't be helped. What do you guys think? Am I the only one who's having these crazy phases? You know, like, one day I'm super into lip products then the next moment I am crazy over blushes and after that I go gaga over eye lashes. Don't you experience that?

3.) Andrea Perma Lash Individual Eyelash Adhesive - Dark (195 Php)

- Of course, the former's plus one. ;)

4.) Abahna White Grapefruit & May Chang Natural Wax Scented Candle (695 Php)

I do have a thing for scents since I don't know when. That's why I hate not having Bath and Body Works here in the Philippines. I mean c'mon they have awesome candles and other stuff, too, with heavenly scent. I feel like I've found a gem now that I have this candle. It has this citrusy smell. It smells so nice. It is really refreshing and uplifting. Also, the scent is not too overwhelming. It would not make you feel dizzy and want to puke. I love love love this candle. If you have a thing for scents and candles, too, try this now especially because the candles are 45% off (312.75 Php) in Beauty Bar. Abahna candle is available in different scents. You're welcome. haha :D

5.) Burt's Bees Radiance Day Cream

I got this one for free. Oh, how I love freebies. :D<

I also got something from Landmark (1st Floor, Trinoma).

6.) Artist Studio Brushes

-The brushes from Artist Studio are very cheap but have awesome quality. I love them. 

* Angled Flat Top - 119.75 Php

* Spoolie or Eyelash/Eyebrow Wand - 64.75 Php

* Blending or Crease Brush - 69.75 Php

* Defining Eye Brush - 29.75 Php

Lastly, I got a few stuff from Watsons (2nd Floor, The Annex, SM City North Edsa).

7.) Purederm Makeup Cleansing Tissues x2 (119 Php)

- I heard good things about these makeup cleansing tissues. They are pretty cheap, too, compared to others.

8.) Watson's Cleansing Facial Wipe x2 (45 Php)

- More cleansing facial wipes. I just need something that would fit perfectly on my pouch and I can carry around where ever I go. :)

9.) Cuddles Cotton Squares (47 Php)

- Is it weird that I have a favorite brand and type of cotton, which is this one, even though they all seem the same? Haha 

10.) Skin Protec Hand Sanitizing Hand Sanitizing Foam in Sweet Pea (67.50 Php)

- This is very much similar to Bath and Body Works Hand Foam On-the-Go Hand Cleanser. It smells amazing. There's also no need to rinse. How I wish I also get the Cucumber one. Oh well, maybe next time.  

That is it for my random haul. I actually had a great time unwinding. I hate traveling alone but sometimes it does feel great. :) I will talk to you again soon my loves. Bye!
