found my orange lippy!




Its orange everywhere! orange craze in cosmetics that is..been wanting to get a coral shade for so long,tossed my favorite coral shade from loreal,coz'I used it all up,and did'nt realize it was so hard to find another one, forgot the shade too =( cant find a replacement since then,maybe its discontinued.
So i saw this tangerine line from Etude house,they have pretty orange lippy shade that matches my skintone pretty well,but also found this maybelline one in cl11,and its 20% off!! and im a sucker for bargains,i got maybelline! there's this corally pink shade also in b22 that i really really like,looks like my discontinued loreal,but SA said the cl11 looks better on me,so i got it,its more orange than the b22.Normally if i ask the SA between two things that i cant decide on,i always go for the the one she did not choose! LOL! my heart is loving the b22 but since orange is all over i wanted to try cl11.I dont know why i didnt get both...Oh! budget! LOL! Its freakin' 20% off!!!! Don't want to impulse buy,I'd like to use one first then buy more later on,maybelline often have their 20% discount anyway,i beleive good things comes to those who wait,just dont wanna spend a lot on cosmetics these days.

elf studio contour brush

Bought this brush in my sm north edsa mini haul,was looking for my backup elf blending brush,the classic one, its so good! i had to get another one because i often use my old one in applying contour eyeshadows or eyeshadows for my crease and left without a clean brush to blend harsh lines,its that useful to me,and you cant beat the price! P129.75,the brush can pick up a good amount of eyeshadows,its rounded fluffy tip is good for blending,its soft and doesnt scratch my gentle lids,i use it more than my mac219 contour brush and cant find it in any mall i frequent to,its always out of stock lately,but then i went to sm north edsa and saw the studio line brushes was almost all completely in stock,from the blush brush,angled brush,powder brush,concealer brush,angled eyeliner brush,eyeshadow c brush and they even have the small smudge brush! elf studio line brushe are P249.75@,a lil bit higher priced than the classic line of brushes,but that did'nt stop me from getting the contour brush instead of the classic blending brush! it preformed well,its soft like the blending brush but denser,its also not scratchy,but it outshined by the blending brush!coz'it erases eyeshadows if used for blending. which one's better? for me,you should get both! LOL! well,out of versatility the classic blending brush is still the best!
And oh! another thing,i didnt realized they put a wrong price tag/sticker tag on the product,my receipt listed P224.75,oh well good for me!

Quick dash to Sm North Edsa

Hav'nt been to SM north Edsa in ages!,its the first mall Sm shoemart built since their first Department store in Carriedo manila. its been overhauled,remodeled,metamorphozised! into a much more bigger and better mall for mall rats like me,So I was looking forward to go there,but not because of these reasons,but because lots of new and upcoming cosmetics brand are in there! and whenever i visit other Sm branches and some items i want to purchase like clothes,and stuff for my children are all out of stock,i'm always told by there SA's that they have more in Sm north.
After dinner we raced there,but got stuck in traffic along edsa (no hope!), when i did get there,i only had a couple of hours to shop,so i had to be a quick mall rat LOL! unlike Mall of Asia that closes by 10 pm,Sm north closes by 9.
Quickly! I rushed in their makeup counters! behold! tonymoly,etude house,majorlica majorca,and elf surprisingly had lots of stocks!cant find contour brush anywhere! but they have it! and also the studio line contour brush! i had to get the latter, =) sadly they dont have the highlighter and blush compact that i wanted.
So here's what i bought just in the nick of time! paid just before closing time,whew!but my hubby bought a lot of clothes! well,i also dropped by my fave clothing brand inside the dept store which is studio S to find this jumpsuit,oos! boohoo!

Beauty cosmetics fair-SM Mall of asia

Went to the sm Mall of asia beauty cosmetics fair,was disappointed by the selections of brands included and the items displayed,as if watsons was not far away,which all those brands are already available,the fair is located in front of watsons near starbucks,SM had to make a "fair". well,they fooled me! haha i went there,from the etude house facebook post that they have an etude booth until may 31,but didn't buy anything though,so i just took pictures.
its ironic that im near Sm manila than mall of asia,but i seldom go to the former,(ETude house boutique in sm manila,etude house booth in sm mall of asia department store by june)its just that sm mall of asia is more of a relaxing place to go,rather than the hustle and bustle sm manila,its crowded with people and passerby.
I was planning to get the eyeliners and lipliners,but they're all not in stock in the fair.Looking forward to the Bubble hair coloring,coming by june in sm manila,but in stock in sm megamall.

Breeze day and night-Eotd

Its so hard to use blue eyeshadow! for me blues tend to look tacky specially in my skintone,im NC20. but i love how it can brighten your eyes,and it is instantly noticeable from afar! i like that sometimes it can look gray or dark navy in other angles and other lightings. i just love it! I actually envy some saleslady i saw in Sm Dept store,wearing blue eyeshadow,some of them are experts! and they only use local inexpensive makeup to pull off the look! i think blue really suits morena or tanned skin...i wish i can take a picture one day! aha! il just do that! hehe for my next post that is.

Day look!!!



Night look
