Rustan's Beauty Addict Event

My go-to place when I want to indulge with make up is Rustan's. If you've been reading my hauls in the past, you'd probably know by now that Rustan's carry most of the make up and skin care brands (Nars, Clarins, etc) that I ultimately love and use to death.

So imagine my delight when I got invited to the launch of Rustan's Beauty Addict card which entices all the beauty enthusiasts out there to shop for their favorite brands and get extra perks in doing so. Yes, for its second season, Rustan’s The Beauty Source upped the ante with Beauty Addict Masterpiece.

Mac Matte Powder Blush in Taupe

I recently finished my Nars Laguna bronzer and was on the fence of repurchasing it or trying a new product. At first, I was strongly considering getting Benefit Hoola but I'm not really a big fan of the carton packaging of Benefit's boxed powders. My dilemma ended when my MUA used Mac Matte Powder Blush in Taupe (retails for Php1,400) on me.

A Small Mac Haul!

I've been on a no-make-up-buy for the longest time because really, I have more than enough in my stash. But my self-imposed make up ban ended after an innocent makeover at Mac. My MUA (Hi Kaye!) did a wonderful job that I ended up getting two of the products that she used on me. Believe me, I had to convince myself a gazillion times not to include a bunch of lip products and just get what I really need. #GoodJobBec

Glupa

Product Review: Glupa Skin Whitening Soap

Whenever I stumble upon Glupa Whitening Soap in various grocery stores, I always had the urge to grab one. Perhaps because of its catchy name or the fact that is is a combination of two powerful whitening agents makes me want it more. 

How could I not be tempted? Both Papaya and Glutathione are proven to be effective in skin whitening. And having these two harmoniously synergized in one bar makes me have the best of both worlds - skin whitening wise.

And so I did. I tried one bar and now I'm on my third.

Himalaya Herbals

Let Your Skin Glow The Natural Way With Himalaya Herbals

Fact is, I have really sensitive skin. As much as I would like to pile the newest skin care line all over my face, the thought of waking up to red, irritated skin makes me think otherwise. So I always do a spot check. ALWAYS.

But for some odd reasons, I completely disregarded my self-imposed protocol and went crazy testing out Himalaya Herbals skin care line. Maybe the word "herbal" made me feel safe, or the fact that their products smell oh-so-good made me vulnerable. Whatever it is, I'm glad I did because I'm completely head-over-heels with their product range!

Medi Herbs Papaya Plus Soap Natural Skin Whitener

When a particular soap gets mentioned a gazillion times in various online threads as one of the best whitening soap in the market today, it (automatically) tickles my fancy. Meaning I cave in and gave Medi Herbs Papaya Plus soap a try. It may not be love-at-first-wash, but I really enjoyed using this soap that I've repurchased it a few times already since then (mind you, I even bought a couple of back ups).

Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet Lipstick in #42 L'Eclatante

I have a new favorite pink lipstick and I've been wearing it non-stop ever since I purchased it from Changi Airport. It's from Chanel and its name is something that I don't even try to pronounce (I'll butchered it for sure). I guess it looks pretty damn good on me because I always receive a compliment or two every time I have this on. The lipstick in question is no other than Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet Lipstick in #42 L'Eclatante.

Care For Your Legs With Antistax

Despite all the stress, fatigue and anxiety that my work brings, I love my work. So to make sure that I stay in my best state every shift, I keep a healthy lifestyle and I take vitamins and supplements to help nourish my body. One particular supplement that I find extremely helpful for my legs is Antistax.

Hair Care

Make Your Crowning Glory Truly Shine With Syoss

For us women, how our hair looks makes a big impact on our over-all appearance. Meaning, the condition of our mane could definitely break or seal the deal for us. Having that in mind, we always make it a point to take good care of our roots by using products that deliver results. Since I have borderline dry, chemically-treated and colored hair, I seriously need all the help that science could provide me. 

However, because most women like me couldn't stop looking for solutions for our troubled locks, we tend to spend too much on hair-care products, even if they result to further damage. We also tend to find refugee to expensive salons whose chemical processes can still lead to more hair-raising dilemmas. 

Good thing I came across with Syoss - a Japanese hair-solution brand that bring salon-beautiful hair to every Pinay.

Fashion Collective HAUL: Mango, Miss Selfridge, Warehouse and Yhansy

I went out yesterday to check out two shops that I particularly adore - Zara and Topshop. Both brands are currently having their mid-season sale and I couldn't let this opportunity pass by without scanning through their racks. On that note, I went to Shangri La with a hopeful will but unfortunately, nothing in their shelves stood out to me. 

So yup, no Zara and Topshop pieces for me. Booh! But don't fret because I still have a small collective haul to show to y'all (which y'all know by now based on the title of this post). Luckily, I decided to drop by at Warehouse and at Miss Selfridge. They were also on sale which makes me one happy camper. After a good 1-2hrs of non-stop fitting, I was able to go home with a decent number of amazing items. Also, I got a few more pieces from Mango awhile back which I will also show in this collective haul post. 

See everything that I got after the jump!

Mango 2014 Mid-Year SALE Haul!

Fact is, I have been holding on to some pieces in my closet for so long now. Like most women out there, I have this hopeful thought that I'd again fit into these pieces after some time. Unfortunately, that was not the case. So with a heavy heart, I tossed everything that no longer fits me.

Now that I have the luxury of additional closet space, I decided hit the Mango store at SM The Block last Friday before heading to work. They were having their mid-year sale and I thought it was the perfect time for me to revamp my wardrobe without breaking the bank.

Belo Essentials AcnePro Pimple-Fighting Gel Face Wash, Treatment Toner and Pimple Gel

Most people say I'm blessed with good skin. Thanks to my DNA and my never-go-to-sleep-with-make-up-on rule, I pretty much enjoy acne-free skin most of the time. I say most of the time, not always. The fact of the matter is that I'm not immune to zits and my skin still breaks out every once in a while. That's why I still tend to keep acne-fighting products sitting on my bathroom cabinet just in case. 

Having said that, my skin went all crazy on me last month. Zits squatted on my forehead and chin. I was about to repurchase my beloved Mario Badescu Acne Facial Cleanser to remedy my pimple-infested situation, but I stumbled upon this Belo Essentials AcnePro set at Watsons.

Get More Beautiful Hair With WEN Cleansing Conditioner

Once upon a time, I decided to cut my hair really, really short. I think it was in my freshman year. I resented how I look and decided to just wear my hair long ever since. It's not that I have anything against short hair, it just doesn't suit me that well compared to other girls. But maintaining long hair can sometimes be a tedious piece of work too. The number of products that you need to put onto your hair can sum up to - just so much. 

Good thing, women's hair will now get more beautifully awesome by using just one product - WEN Cleansing Conditioner.

Based on how little product I have left sitting in the bottle, you'd probably able to guess how much I enjoy using this facial wash (yes, a lot!).

Lets just say that this product sealed the deal to me on how amazing Clinique skincare products are!

Snoe Bedside Beso Balm Deep Moisturizing Lip Treatment

Fact is, you will never caught me without a lip balm. I have one lying on my bedside table, another one on my make up vanity and I always carry a tube inside my bag. If it isn't obvious yet, lip balm spells necessity for me. You see, I suffer from really chapped lips that even just a day or two of not putting a lip balm on would put my lips in a really bad shape (read: cracked and ready to bleed any time). 

Another fact is, not all lip balms are created equal - some are rave-worthy, while others can go straight to the bin. One lip product that definitely deserves a merit is this Snoe Bedside Beso Balm Deep Moisturizing Lip Treatment which I got from my January 2014 Glamourbox.

Maintain The Shape Of Your Bags With Poppy Bag Cushions

Aside from jewelries, I love investing on classic designer bags. Aside from the fact that they would last me a lifetime, just the thought of passing them on to my future daughter/s is enough for me to justify my every bag purchase. And since most of these bags come with a staggering price tag, I always make sure to keep them in outstanding condition, as much as possible. 

One way to make sure that my bags retain their original shape and prevent wrinkles is by stuffing them up. I used to just pile them with old pillows, until I came across with something much better - Poppy Bag Cushions.
