US TRIP (2014) HAUL PART 2

Hey loves!

It's part two of my shopping spree during my three-week vacation in the US. You can check out the first part here

The stuff in this post were bought during my stay in New York City, New Jersey, and San Francisco. So here are more makeup goodies that you'll be seeing reviews of soon in our blog!

LORAC Blushing Beauty Collection
Includes:
3-in-1 Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil
Cobra Mascara
Highly Pigmented Cream Lipstick
Eyeshadows in Pink Champagne, Pro Palette Mauve, and Bordeaux
Powder Cheek Stain in Rosy Glow

I went back to Sephora to buy these:
Clinique Airbrush Concealer in Natural Fair
Sephora 10HR Wear Perfection Foundation in Almond
Dior Backstage Eye Prime 
DiorShow Fusion Mono Matte in Fantaisie
Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade in Chocolate

Sephora Favorites Summer Stash
Includes:
Deborah Lippmann Nail Laquer in Mermaid's Dream
Josie Maran Coconut Watercolor Cheek Galée
NARS Travel Size Laguna Bronzing Powder
Marc Jacobs Beauty Mini Lash Lifter in Blacquer
Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes 12L – Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil
Buxom Divine Goddess Luminizer in Venus
Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Stained Gloss in New Wave
Stila Cosmetics Magnificent Metal Foils Finish Eye Shadow in Kitten
Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray

My skin got around 1 or 2 tones darker so I decided to buy a foundation that is also long-lasting since I'm out all day and do not have much time to do some retouching. I bought a tried and tested product—the Estee Lauder Double Wear. My shade before is Rattan but the SA recommended that the shade Ivory Beige is my new color.

I also bought all these freebies after I made the purchase! Yayyy!

Oh, I forgot to add this in the part 1 haul post. The hair products on the picture above were bought back in LA.

Lancome Dual Finish Versatile Powder Makeup in Matte Ginger IV
Yves Saint Laurent Pure Chromatics 4 Wet & Dry Eye Shadows in 7
Victoria's Secret Tinted Moisturizer/Primer in Golden Medium

And I also bought some Clarins skincare!!! These products were in promo sets so I saved a huge deal of money. My sister, Trace really loves their products so I want to try them out too.

Multi-Active Night Youth Recovery Cream
Multi-Active Skin Renewal Serum
Multi-Active Day Early Wrinkle Correction Cream
It also came with a pouch!

Vital Light Serum Dark Spot Correcting
Vital Light Day Illuminating Anti-Ageing Cream
Vital Light Night Revitalizing Anti-Ageing Cream
Toning Lotion Alcohol Free with Iris—Free!

And finally, I bought 2 leather bags from Theysken's Theory and DKNY!

So much new babies!!! I'm overwhelmed. Up to now I haven't open more than half of what I bought. The blogger in me kept insisting I take pictures first. LOL

Which of these do you like best? Which one would you like to read a review about?


Cheers,

US Trip (2014) Haul Part 1

Hey everyone!

My vacation in the US will be over soon and I'll be back in Manila on the 26th. I really had fun during the last few weeks and I'll make sure to enjoy the last couple of days here. I am considering blogging my 3 week vacation (it's gonna be a long post LOL) but I'll probably make it a few days or maybe a week later when I get back. :P

For now, I'll just share some of the beauty products I bought while staying over my friend's place in Los Angeles, the first stop of my trip. I stayed here for 7 days. Most of the beauty products bought were for daily use since I didn't bring much makeup with me (my luggage was almost full).

First off, drugstore makeup at Target. I didn't bring any concealer or loose powder with me...

Rimmel ScandalEyes Kohl Liner in 005 Nude
NYX Full Coverage Concealer in a Jar in Beige
Sonia Kashuk Undetectable Loose Powder
No7 Precision Lip Pencil in Nude
Maybelline Illegal Length Mascara
No7 Beautifully Matte Foundation in Deeply Beige

I bought a lot of nudes since it's the safest makeup I can use while on trip. I bought some No7's because one of my favorite makeup artists, Lisa Eldridge, used this brand on many of her makeup tutorials. I wanted to try this out myself and bought a couple since this brand is not in our country yet.

Next stop is at Sephora! Of course I had to stop by at one of their stores ASAP. :P

Too Faced Beauty Blogger Darlings Set
NARS Light Reflecting Loose Powder
Make Up For Ever Aqua Liner
Beauty Blender
Clinique Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Corrector
I got some freebies too. Sachets from Murad and Dr. Dennis Gross.

I bought another Beauty Blender because I am not satisfied with the foundation brush I bought. LOL. The beauty blogger kit from Too Faced is such a great deal! It has everything I needed during the trip—a primer, an eyeshadow primer, and a bronzer! And all these have great reviews online so I can't wait to try them out!

Of course I had to buy some artsy stuff during my tours in museums like in The Getty and LACMA...

I thought that I came here to appreciate American Art but I am just too in-love with French Impressionism and Japanese art. :P

And since I am so inspired to draw after seeing so many beautiful artworks, I went to Micheal's and bought me some art materials so that I have something to do during my spare time in my trip.

I also bought some clothes (which are in the laundry while I am making this post), a 1 inch hair iron, and a DKNY Bag. I'll take pictures of these on my next haul post. :P

These aren't even half of the stuff I bought. I already told my mom that I'll give her most of my salary for the next coming months. I feel guilty for all the shopping I bought using my supplementary card. LOL (She's cool with it just so we're clear). Hope you stay tune for the next part!

I'll leave you with this fresh, pretty peonies from my best friend's room. 
Aren't they just lovely? :D


Cheers,
DAWN
