september haul

hi everyone.

Finally! I finished it. I was busy this last few weeks so I wasn't able to post it on time. But here are the items i got for the whole month of September.

let's start.

1. Bench Daily Scent Cologne

              

It's very practical to use a cologne for your everyday use. If you are just chilling and staying at home or do not so important thing my advice is use a cologne. Save your expensive perfume for a date,going out with friends, night out and special occasion. Freshening up for your ordinary days without spending too much,how brilliant idea is that?

     the box comes in a different scent but this happy hour scent is my favorite.

2. Finess Oil Control Blot

While walking at the department store I saw this cute oil blotter packaging so I got it. This is cheaper compared to other brand of oil blotter. It costs only 37 pesos for 100 sheets so why not give a try.

Oil control blotter is a must have for me because i have oily skin type. Here's a tip never reapply makeup until you have used oil blotting sheet to absorb all the excess oil on your face. Adding more makeup on top of oily skin can clog pores and contaminate the makeup container and applicator.

3. Bangles and a Stud Earrings

                     accessorizing any simple outfit can transform into a different look.

4. Bubble Gum Color Nail Polish

I saw a friend wearing this bubble gum color of nail polish and i really liked it so i bought one for me.

 

5. Green Shoes.

Even if I have no idea how to call this shoes I still got this one. It's like a slip-on shoes and/or semi a strap-it-up shoes that makes the feet really look sexy. It's good to pair it with jeans or leggings or even with a simple short dress. This is from Robinson's Manila

I would like to thank my sister because two weeks ago I received a box coming from her. These are the stuff that she got me.

6. Sheer Cover Mineral Makeup Set

I made a little research about this brand before i use it. You can order them online (I'm not sure if we can order from the Philippines) but here's the website http://www.sheercover.com/ .

~Sheer Cover is a mineral makeup

 Comparison of mineral and traditional makeup

                                                                                                                                     

 Mineral makeup                                                                              

  *feels so light on your skin yet offers the coverage                       

 * complete coverage because the natural minerals overlap and sit lightly on the skin.            

 * your skin can breathe                                               

 * looks more natural   

                                                 

Traditional makeup          
* can feel heavy like a mask                    

* some liquid foundation can irritate skin and cause acne

*when applied too much it will look "cakey"                                                                                                    

~Sheer Cover has SPF 15 to protect your skin from harmful sun rays and skin aging.

Mineral Foundation Brush

very soft and a good brush for applying mineral powder but in my opinion, using a flat tip brush will give a better result

Blending Brush

honestly, i am not sure if this is a blending brush but you can use it to blend your concealer under your eye and side of the nose. this brush can use as an eyeshadow brush also.

Concealer Brush

I'm inlove with brush. very soft and it gives a good result.

ELF Liquid Liner

Black

this one is good but the bad side is, it is not water proof so when you yawn it will really smudge all over your eyes.

8. Estee Lauder Two-In-One Eyeshadow

Estee Lauder is a great makeup brand. They are higher end and their products are higher priced but it's worth the money.

another high end brand but worth every penny

and my favorite item for this month:

 

11. Chanel Quad Eyeshadow

                     
                                                     My first ever Chanel palette.

This is from Soho Story Collection. according to Peter Philips's interview about the collection is, it is about a young american girl who wants to discover the big apple of the city (New York). He said that a girl should be strong  at the same time very feminine. For him that's the power of woman. so the colors they used in the collection were very soft but combined with strong color.

mousse | almond

toast | caramel

NOT BEAUTY RELATED:

12. Motorola Sidekick

this is exclusive and T-mobile locked.

(but here now, everything is possible. I asked a lot of cellphone shop regarding the cost of unlocking and they said it will cost me like almost a hundred dollar. But luckily, Robinson's Place Manila unlocked my phone almost half of that hundred dollar that other shop are asking.)

13. Memory Card and USB Stick

That's all for this month. This is not to brag my stuff. I am posting haul blog monthly for you guys to have an idea which product is good and which one is not.

let's all be fabulous♥
