Shop and Ship From US to PH with myMallBox + My US Beauty HAUL (Nordstrom, Sephora, Mac & Sigma)

Been itching to purchase that newly released highlighter or eye shadow palette from 

Sephora.com or similar US shopping sites but holding back because of the hefty shipping fees, or worse, these sites just don't ship to your country? I feel you. I've been there and it was such a bummer. 

Tell you what, gone were the days when we just sit and lust over these brands that only ship to a US address. No need to wait for a relative from the US to come home so that we can make "pabili" because we can now get to enjoy shopping our hearts out and having our purchases delivered straight to our doors. All these thanks to the rise of freight forwarding companies that ship goods from the United States to various countries (including the Philippines). 

After much deliberation (and reading Hollie's blog post), I decided to give myMallBox a go. Yesterday, my package came so I decided to write a blog post about my experience with  myMallBox.

What's In My Travel Make Up Bag?

Hi dolls! I'll be flying tomorrow for a short trip to Bali, Indonesia so I thought of sharing with y'all the contents inside my trusty travel make up bag. I'm struggling to pack light since I always feel the need to bring my whole bedroom whenever I go. But for make up, my huge fear of losing/breaking them makes me carry just the products that I really need.

Mac Please Me Lipstick

Mac Please Me tickled my fancy when I read somewhere that this is one of Angelica Panganiban's (Filipina actress) fave lip color to wear. She even posted a picture on her Instagram account years ago. I tried it out initially but I find that it's quite similar to my Shu Uemura Rouge Unlimited Supreme Matte lipstick M PK 348 lipstick so I passed. Any way, it's part of Mac's permanent line so I could just get it anytime. #NoRush

Mac Impassioned Lipstick

Fact is, I will forever be a bright lipstick kinda girl. I just like how one swipe of a bright hue lipstick instantly makes my face brighter and more alive. So despite having the Kylie Jenner lip trend right now, I still haven't jumped into the bandwagon. On that happy note, let me feature one of Mac's iconic bright pink lipstick; - Impassioned.

Mac HAUL!

I know that I have been on a major beauty blogging hiatus recently. Please excuse my absence because I have just been so caught up with other life-changing things (read:my wedding, updating my blog layout, etc). But now that I have finally booked almost all of my major wedding suppliers (thank God!), expect to read more blog posts from me (promise!). To kick start my home coming to the blogosphere, I have a decent collective Mac haul to share with you all.

Mac Viva Glam Miley Cyrus Lipstick

Knowing that 100% of the proceeds from getting a Mac Viva Glam lipstick will be used to fund the Mac AIDS Foundation is the perfect excuse for a beauty junkie like me to add another tube in my beauty stash. The feeling of being part of a good cause, one lipstick at a time, is so spot on for me. On that note, I always keep my eyes peeled for new products under the Mac Viva Glam line.

So when I learned that Miley Cyrus would be the next celebrity to collaborate with Mac Viva Glam (after Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, etc), it ticked my fancy even more. When I saw how amazingly hot the shade is, my heart completely twerked in joy! See pics below!

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

Mac Blacktrack Fluidline Eyeliner Gel

I know some girls can line their upper lids even while driving (which is impressive, but totally unsafe), but I'm not one of those girls. I always put so much effort in putting my eye liner on that I need all the time in the world to create that perfect little wing.  And my choice of gel liner is no other than the infamous Mac Blacktrack Fluidline.

Mac Happy-Go-Lucky Lipstick

I seriously don't need another lipstick. But there is something about Mac Happy-Go-Lucky lipstick that made me break my project no-make-up-buy without even blinking . Call it love at first swatch or whatever, bottom line is - I'm so glad I picked this little buddy up. It's limited and I might stab myself if I let it slipped away.

Mac Pink Pearl Pop Lipstick

I feel like I'm evolving, especially with my lipstick shade choices. Years ago, I would jump over shades that are anything bold and show-stopper. In short, the brighter, the better. But perhaps because of my career change, I tamed a little and decided to give my mid-tone pinks a roll. Realizing the possibility of wearing my delicate soft pinks more often than before (read:on a daily basis), I decided to pick another dainty lipstick that I've actually been eyeing for awhile. Say hello to Mac Pink Pearl Pop Lipstick.

Mac Riri Woo Lipstick

When the news came out that Rihanna would be collaborating with Mac, all hell broke loose in the beauty community. Beauty geeks all over the world were eager to get a few pieces (or all) from this very-sought-after collection. So when I learned that CareFreeShopper has items from the collection on hand, I immediately added Riri Woo lipstick in my cart and checked out like my life depends on it. Added bonus, my Mom offered to pay for the lipstick - talk about another birthday gift, yey! So without further ado, here's my Mac Riri Woo Lipstick in all its glory!

Mac Silly Lipstick

Believe me, I had no intentions of buying another lipstick due to the fact that my lipstick collection has grown far more than what an average girl (like me) needs. Spending a minute or two each day just deciding on what lipstick to wear has becoming a bit of an issue for me. But because I was weak (and this lipstick is gorgeous), my harmless lurking at the Mac counter at Eastwood Mall ended up with a lippie purchase.  Meet my new fave pink lipstick - Mac Silly!

Mac Vegas Volt Lipstick

Vegas Volt has been on my list for ages. It's part of Mac permanent line, but is not readily available at our local counters (what a shame!). So armed with my confidence that I could rock this shade, plus an x-number of times googling swatches, I blindly ordered it online. Now, did I make an awesome purchase? I'll tell y'all in a bit.

Mac Blot Powder in Medium

Like most girls, I hate seeing myself looking extra shiny by mid day too. Oil-blotting sheets can help keep oil at bay for others, but not for me. You see, my skin tend to react violently towards most blotting films so I use them with caution. I have dry-to-combination skin and to help me not look extra greasy than usual, I always keep my Mac Blot powder in Medium within reach.

Hello iPhone 5!

After being a fanatic of Android phones (specifically Samsung Galaxy S Series), I finally decided to make the switch and got myself an iPhone 5. I was actually debating on waiting for the local release of Samsung Galaxy S4, but the size of it turned me off.

So say hello to my new call & text buddy; - iPhone 5!

Mac Viva Glam Nicki 1 Lipstick

Hands down, Viva Glam Nicki 1 lipstick is definitely the brightest shade from Mac Viva Glam line. It's a color that would attract attention (in a good way if applied right) and would get a ton of questions too (no kidding!). Every ounce of this lipstick definitely embodies Nicki Minaj's personality if you'd ask me; - bright, bold and fun!
