Lunasol Treatment Gloss 01 Pure Pink

Hello dolls!

It's been a long week for me and I just couldn't wait to start the weekend. But before Friday officially ends and I can finally rest, let me share one quick swatch post about...

Lunasol Treatment Gloss 01 Pure Pink

Lunasol Skin Contrast Face Powder in 01 Glow

Hello dears!

I've been so busy lately that I haven't been able to post much on the blog even though I wanted to. But for today, I reserved a few minutes just to share one of my favorite products to use...

Lunasol Skin Contrast Face Powder in 01 Glow

Bought this for PhP 2,499.00... yeah, it's... pretty expensive... for my budget...

There's a packaging of this product with the powder tub and the puff applicator but I settled with just this (it's just a plastic jar with the powder). I already find the product expensive and I wasn't willing to spend more for the whole "equipment." I still like using a brush when applying my powder anyway.

Dawn's December 2016 Haul

Hello loves!

Besides the family and friend bondings and the delicious food, the other things that I enjoy about December are the various sales and the Christmas bonus from work. ;) There's always a shopping spree moment for me during this time of the year. What got me into a more intense shopping spree is the fact that I didn't buy much beauty products during the months of October and November. So yeah, I did some major spending and I love it! :D

Here are the items that you will see on the blog (for reviews and swatches) pretty soon...

 Mario Badescu Skincare Glycolic Acid Toner

I ran out of toner so I immediately bought one. I was using one from Skinfood, Kiehl's, and Clarins prior to this one and I loved them all but I thought of trying a new one next. I chose the one with Glycolic Acid because I have acne problems to deal with. I hope this works on me. :)

Stila Stay All Day Liquid Eye Primer - PhP 895.00 

Lunasol Skin Contrast Face Powder - PhP 2,499.00

I bought the Stila primer to use on a Stila eyeshadow that was included in a beauty set I bought before. The Lunasol powder, on the other hand, is an unplanned purchase. My sister and I were just in awe when we swatched it. The powder was so soft and smooth that we both bought our own!

Snoe Shoo-Zit Spray Me From Behind -  PhP 349.00

Snoe Rouge Deluxe in Bite Me - PhP 399.00

I finally bought a sort of black lipstick. Yay! And if you want to read my review of the back acne spray, click here.

Zenutrients Luxurious Goat's Milk and Oatmeal Body Scrub - PhP 234.00

Zenutrients Whitening Underarm Cream - PhP 234.00

This body scrub smells AMAZING!

Canmake Mix Eyebrow - PhP 490.00

 Snoe Emu Cleanse  - PhP 499.00

I bought it because I know that Emu is good for the skin. It's good for moisturization and has anti-inflammatory benefits. This cleanser also has some acids that suit my skin well and helps treat some of my acne problems. 

Girl Stuff Nail polishes in Grace and Machiatto - PhP 100.00 each

Girl Stuff was on sale and I'm looking for nude nail polishes. ;) 

Zenutrients Oil-Around Argan

Zenutrients All is Well Balm

Argan works wonders on my hair but it's quite expensive. This 250ml is only PhP 499.00 so hopefully it works well so that I have a more affordable alternative. The All is Well Balm will be placed on my office table. It smells really good. Minty and calming, something that will help me relax on a busy day.

Zen Zest Body Spray in Vanilla Cream 

Zen Zest Linen Fragrance in Stimulating

Zen Zest was also on sale. I love it when I smell good and I love it even more when my room and my bed smells good as well. These items are around PhP 100.00 or even less! 

 Maru Marula Oil Infused Hair Treatment in Vibrant Shine and Intensive Moisture

I was looking for hair treatment and I chose to get these because they were only PhP 75.00 and the packaging looks cool. Haha! I hope they're good. :P

L.A. Girls Matte Flat Finish Pigment Gloss in Dreamy - PhP 349.00

 I was deceived! I bought this because I asked the S.A. what lipstick she used because it was like a brick red color with a hint of burnt sienna shade. She said she used this one and I was puzzled actually because her lipcolor did not look anything like the color of the lip gloss as seen on the clear packaging, but she swore that it was this one. I dunno if she was lying, but this shade is pretty close to MAC's Ruby Woo—red with bluish undertone. I wanted a warm-almost brown shade! Oh the deception. The betrayal, man!

 Revlon Photoready Eye Art in Peach Prism - PhP 468.75

This was on sale. The original price was around PhP 650.00. I liked the shade and I also like that it has 2 products—a metallic base and a glittery liner.

Covergirl TruBlend - PhP 200.00

Another product on sale. But this is for my mom. :) 

 Marrionaud Pointed Eyeshadow brush - PhP 89.75

 Marrionaud Eyelash Curler Refill - PhP 33.00

 Marrionaud Pedicure Metal Corn Cutter - PhP 109.00

Veert Wax Strips for Normal Skin - Php 257.00

I also took advantage of Etude House's Year-End sale. They have a promo wherein you get 2 products for the price of 1. This will last until January 17 or until supplies last. 

Etude House Hot Style Bubble Hair Coloring 

in Cherry Brown and Sweet Orange - PhP 428.00 for both

You don't have to get the same shade too. As long as it's the same product. I've been planning to change hair color and I was able to get two shades. I'll be using the Cherry Brow first and maybe the other one after 5-6 months I guess. :P

Etude House Color My Brows in Natural Brown - PhP 378.00 for both

Browcaras are now a staple in my beauty kit because of my thick brows. Glad that this was included in the sale!

Etude House My Beauty Tool Eyeliner Brush - PhP 248.00

I actually just bought this to get a better freebie. Haha! 

 

5 I Need You Mango Mask and 1 I Need You Olive Mask - PhP 174.00 for all six

Etude House Stay Up Foundation in Ivory and Beige - PhP 778.00

I bought different shades because one is for me and one is for a friend. It's like I got them for PhP 300+ each only!

And these are my freebies! 3 mini Precious Mineral BB Creams and a Mini Precious Mineral Any Cushion! You can get it if your purchase amount to at least PhP 2,000.00.

And of course, I didn't leave out my art material shopping. I know I bought a lot of art stuff two months ago, but I just can't help myself... These make me happy. :)

 Calligraphy Pad - Php 179.75

Kami Marker Pad - 848.75

 3 Palomino Pencils - Php 119.00 each

Pebeo Huile XL Oil Colours - PhP 517.00

I know this is student quality and I think I should level it up a bit but it has been more than two years since I last used oil paint. I better practice again. :P

Black Paper Sketchbook - PhP 399.00

I also just want to show you some products my sister gave me. Most are lip glosses and that Armani liquid lipstick is something that you should check out because it's really good! Gonna post a swatch soon!

And those are the new stuff I got last December! Which ones are you curious about? ;)

Cheers

Lunasol Full Glamour Gloss in EX16

Hey loves!

Here's a quick swatch post of...

Lunasol Full Glamour Gloss in EX16

Bought this for only Php 600.00 during Kanebo's Holiday Office Sale last December. This probably retails for more than 1k before it was discounted.

This is actually my first product from the brand.

I quickly bought it because of the very classy packaging and the color is just beautiful!

Before I show the swatch, I'd like to show you the doe applicator. It's so soft and holds just enough product for my lips to looks oh-so-kissable! You'd probably have to dip more if your lips is fuller than mine. :P

Here's a swatch on my hand.

And below are pictures of my lips...

Bare

with the product

and this is the gloss on top of a pink lipstick.

The soft pink tone and the fine purple and silver glitters this gloss has gives a luminous, sort of ethereal finish to my lips! This is absolutely a new favorite of mine! Besides the nice finish, the smell is soooo good!


Cheers!

Makeup Haul at Kanebo Philippines

 Hey beauties!!

I'm soooo excited to share with you these amazing items I bought yesterday at the head office of Kanebo Philippines yesterday!

 Tadaaaaa!!! Bought all of these!

They have this amazing promo...

 I immediately got a friend who worked in Ortigas to take me there the weekend after I saw this poster at their Facebook Page! You'd probably find me funny when you see me looking so jolly and excited the whole day - before and after the purchase.

I've been wanting to get more products from Kanebo, Kate, Coffret D'or and Lunasol for the longest time but I end up not buying since most of the items I like are out of my budget.

So anyway, without further ado, here are the items I purchased with the discounted price:

 Coffret D'or Magicalflat Concealer (P600)

 T'estimo Blush in PK-18 (I can't remember the price)

 Kate Gel Eyebrow in BR-3 (P400)

 Kate Eyebrow Color in LB-1 (I can't remember the price)

 Kate Eyeliner in BR-1 (I can't remember the price)

 Kate My Color Pencil in PK-3 and BU-6 (P200)

 Kate Lipsticks in BE-4 and BE-1 (P200 and P150)

and Lunasol Full Glamour Gloss in Ex16 (P600)

Woooo! And I got them all at 50-80% off! I took home 9 items all in all.

I'm sooooo happy! The price I paid is usually around 3 of the items in their regular price which is a little less than 3k. 

I wasn't able to get the ones I plan to get because they weren't included in the sale but I'm still super happy nonetheless. :D

I can't take my hands off them. I'll probably do some FOTD's using these soon.

Just comment below which ones you want me to review as soon as possible! :)

And I also bought a few items so satisfy the artsy fartsy side of me.

A new set of graphite pencil for sketching.

I always lose my pencils. I either misplace them or I lend it to someone and it never got back to me. :P

 A book about the different artworks I could find in the Museum of Modern Art. I've always wanted to go there but since I don't think I could anytime soon, I'll settle with this so I'll know what to expect when the time comes. ♥

That's all the purchases I have now.

I really am splurging a lot and I really need to control myself. Help?

Haha!

Cheers!
