My Surprise Birthday Gift from HBC

Hello loves!

Yesterday I went to HBC, Trinoma to pick up a package containing things that I can't tell you just yet. And upon opening the big, heavy paper bag, I found a surprise!!

And when I left the store, I took home all these!

The surprise was this:

A 1k gift certificate to HBC's beauty section! Cool, huh?? I didn't expect this and I was already thinking of buying stuff from the store. I was so happy to see this inside the package since I get to go crazy shopping for new kikay stuff for my birthday!

I bought all these! I actually bought more stuff than I should. These cost more than 1k. Haha! Everything here are items from HBC that I have never used before so I'm very excited to try them. :D

Super thanks, Lorie and the rest of the HBC team! You've been very sweet since the first time we've collaborated. I super appreciate all the support you've given me and our blog. Thanks for the gift and for remembering my birthday (my birthdate is on the 25th)! :D

And for this mysterious package, I'll blog about what this is all about on Sunday! ;)

Cheers,

DAWN

San San Hortaleza, M.D. Foundation Cream

Hello lovelies,

So here we have another lovely product which HBC had generously gave to us to try: San San Hortaleza, M.D. Foundation Cream.

Packaging details:

Review:

I love that the packaging has the sponge separated from the product it self. Although I'm not too crazy about the sponge because I think it soaks up too much of the product but in this case, it's actually a favorable feature.

Here's the product itself.

Such pretty swirls...

Here it is swatched on the hand...

then smudged/blended.

This is Dawn's hand, and as you can see it's darker than her but is just a perfect match for me. 

Before

After

What I like:

1. Packaging

2. Coverage is medium to high

3. Easy to use

What I don't like:

1. No oil control

Will I buy again:

Probably. But I still have a lot of BB creams so that will take a while.

So that's just about it for a quick review of this product. Sorry for such a rushed review. Currently in a net shop and running out of minutes...

Cheers,

LIZ
