Haul from Singapore

Hi everyone! I just thought I'd make a haul post of the beauty stuff I got from Singapore. Mostly they are makeup stuff. I kind of regret not getting any skin care product (aside from the Neutrogena facial wash). I won't be posting the clothes I got from my trip because they all are now in the laundry.. Anyways here they are!

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Mousse Cleanser - a gentle hydrating cleanser. Rich, cushiony lather effectively foams away impurities, while a special hydrating agent adds back moisture so skin remains clean and soft.

Maybelline Total Clean: Express Makeup Remover - makeup removal and immediate softening. (I'm not sure if we have this in the Philippines, but I haven't seen one before so I thought I'd try it.)

Maybelline Eyebrow Pencil by Eyestudio - in grey

Bobbi Brown Corrector - in peach

Bobbi Brown Concealer Kit - in beige

Urban Decay Primer Potion

Pop Beauty Cat Eyes - go from I don't know how to MEOW! lol.

Makeup Forever Aqua Eyes - in black

My mom bought some things from Lancaster and the nice lady from the counter gave her a lot of samples. She also gave me these 3 Lancaster samples. Revolcanic deep moisturizing gel, Revolcanic Eyes deep moisturizing anti-fatique eye care, Eye Makeup Remover Soothing & Non-Oily. I have never tried any Lancaster product before so I am really excited to try these samples. :)

Got this cross connector ring. I love it.


And because I love cats and anything with a cat on it...

Puss in Boots from Universal Studios

Cute cat keychain from a store that I don't remember.

That's all. Hope you guys enjoyed this post. Hopefully, I could do a review about the stuff I got soon. Have a great week ahead!

Singapore

Hi everyone! I just came back from my Singapore trip. The weather was hot and humid. I felt like I was going to be dehydrated from sweating... But putting that aside, it was good. I had fun, and hopefully I can go back again one day.


They said that the merlion statue had been closed for 2 months already so we just settled for the baby merlion.

Universal Studios Singapore is smaller compared to the other studios. Even smaller than Japan's. We went there on a weekday and it was still crowded. Here's a photo of their Water World show.

We also watched the Songs of the Sea at Sentosa. It was nice.

Our hotel was at Orchard Road, and because of that I got to shop a lot! Malls were everywhere! Lots of clothing and beauty shops.We stayed there for four days and I honestly think it wasn't enough. Not enough time to go through all the malls they had.

I bought a few clothing items. It was kind of a drag because the lines were long in the fitting room. Also got myself some makeup and skin care products.


I was surprised to see Sephora in Singapore. I never thought they had it there. Before my flight, I went to Sephora.com to check if they had a store in SG, didn't see it on their list. So I wasn't expecting to see it inside Takashimaya. So when I got in there, I was just overwhelmed that my brain suddenly seemed to have blacked out or something. lol. I just couldn't remember what I wanted to purchase from the store. I wish I was more prepared so I could've made a list of what to buy. I kind of regret it now cos I finally remembered what I wanted to get but didn't cos I forgot. *sigh*


And that's it. I am excited to do a review about this product I got from SG. I've used it a few times and I am loving it. Hope I'll get to do a post about it soon.

Have a great day!

Japan Trip and Haul

Hi everyone! Here's a little peek on my Japan trip plus haul.

My trip to Japan is just awesome. I love the place, it's super clean and beautiful. I love the people, they are all very courteous. We joined a group tour and our schedule was tight. It was tiring but still fun. I just wish we had more time to shop. Before I share my mini Japan haul, I'd like to share a few photos with you guys from my trip. It's memorable and I'd love to visit Japan again!

This one's from Kyoto. The temples are just so beautiful.

Shin Sai Bashi-Suji, Osaka. Taking my opportunity to shop outside our hotel even if I'm dead tired.

This is me and my nephew somewhere in Universal Studios Osaka. We were so tired and the weather was freezing cold.

Fuji-ten ski resort. You can see Mt. Fuji on the background behind those trees.

We also went to DisneySea and Sanrio Puroland in Tokyo. Here's Hello Kitty!

Crazy Harajuku street on New Year's day! Unfortunately, I didn't see any Harajuku girls/boys that day. The place was too crowded.

And guess what, most (if not all) of the hotels we stayed are carrying Shiseido products on their toiletries. From Shampoo, body wash, to facial wash. Everything's Shiseido. Amazing isn't it?

And now for the haul, I didn't get to buy a lot. We were always in a hurry and we didn't have enough time to shop. It felt like we were in the Amazing Race or something... Anyway, I decided that I'm just going to include the makeup and skin care products I bought. I'd love to share some of the good fashion finds I got from Japan but most of them are in the laundry bin because I have already worn them. So yeah, here they are!

1.) Clinique clarifying lotion #2: My staple toner. I needed to restock because I was running out of it.
2.) Clinique long last glosswear SPF 15: I got three in Bonfire, Knockout Nude and Goldspun. The pack came in 5. I gave the other 2 to my sister.
3.) NYX Smokey Look Kit: A mini palette that contains 9 shadows and 2 lip glosses.
4.) Kate BB Makeup Base: Kate is a product of Kanebo. It is targeted for the younger market, I think. This has SPF as well but I forgot how much SPF. It was on the box but I threw it already. As far as I can remember, it was around 32 or 35.
5.) Kate Makeup Remover: Forgot to include this in the picture. But I bought this because there was this one time when we had to move from Osaka to Tokyo via bullet train and our luggage were shipped. Our stuff didn't arrive until the next day and I forgot to carry with me my makeup remover, lucky enough there was a store that had beauty stuff and got a hold of this.
6.) Shiseido Anessa Perfect Essence Sunscreen SPF 50 PA+++: I was looking for this sunscreen, unfortunately I don't think they carry it in Japan. The SA recommended this to me. They came in three kinds. Waterproof (for heavy duty use I think / for sports or swimming), Pearlized one that gave a pearly effect on your face, and the one I got which is for everyday use.
7.) DHC peel off pack: I just though I needed to use some mask for my face. I never tried one before so I thought this would be a great try.
8.) DHC Eyelash Tonic: It's supposed to make your lashes thicker and stronger. I've been using this for weeks and it seems to be working! I seriously love it.

I wish I researched about DHC before I went to Japan so I know which items I should get. They seem to have a whole lot of amazing products but I don't understand what's written on their boxes. It's quite difficult to guess what they are for lol. But the SA's are nice enough to really try to explain what they are for. I also wish we had more time to shop so I can concentrate on my shopping. You know how difficult it is to shop when you know you're running out of time. lol.

So yeah. That's my haul from Japan. I will do more in depth reviews on these items once I have used them for a while. Have a great weekend everyone!

Happy Chinese New Year!

Hi Everyone! I'm sorry I haven't posted for sooo long. So much have been going on.. But I am back with a new layout and a collective haul perhaps. Hauls from Christmas, stuff I've bought from my last trip, and stuff I just recently got. So yeah. I will be posting my collective haul soon.

It's nice to be back. :)

haul from a short trip

Hi Everyone! I am back. I went to Macau last week with my family. I wasn't really expecting much from Macau, I thought it was just like Hong Kong but I was just wrong. It was so beautiful and clean. We stayed at the Venetian and the rooms were just awesome. It was so relaxing. I miss my bed there already. And I want to go back soon. Anyway after the city tour, we still had like two days to do whatever or go wherever we wanted to. We went to Senado Square and there were a lot of shops! I can remember this store called "BONJOUR" that sells a lot of imported and local beauty products. And I think there was also "Sasa" (if I'm not mistaken) that sells a lot of beauty stuff. I was overwhelmed. Too overwhelmed that I didn't even get to buy stuff for myself. I was too busy buying pasalubongs (gifts) and then I realized, why the hell haven't I bought anything for myself yet. Lol. So yeah, I also love the Venetian Hotel because I can go shopping anytime. I just take the elevator from our room and there I am at the Grand Canal Shoppes & the Four Seasons Shoppes! Seriously, there were just a LOT of shops in there. I don't think 3 days is enough to go all through those shops. Unfortunately, I didn't get to buy any clothes. I don't know why, I guess I was too lazy to fit and try them on because I was wearing a lot. The weather dropped to 4ºC and I had to wear a jacket, scarf, etc to keep me warm.

But nonethless, I'm still happy with my new purchases. =)

Some none makeup/skincare stuff that I got:
I've been looking for a nice red and grey bag for so long. But still, I didn't find anything that I liked during my trip. So instead, I got the small black satchel bag and a big blue/brown stripe bag.. I also have been meaning to get myself a black watch, so glad that I waited for this trip to get one. I love it!... And the shoes! I just love these shoes. They are so comfy and the zebra print inside is just so cute! =)

And now for the makeup goodies that I got:


Clinique Superfit in Cream Beige. I've been hearing a lot of good stuff about this and I love that it's oil free. I only have one liquid foundation and I thought I'd try this one out.

Urban Decay Lipstick in Voodoo. I was surprised to see a UD rack at the Duty Free shop inside The Venetian. I got so excited! But they really didn't have a lot. They only had one palette available.. So I thought I'd just get another lippie cos I loved my UD lipstick in Gash.

And lastly, I got two of YSL ROUGE VOLUPTÉ Silky Sensual Radiant Lipstick SPF 15 in #3 (Beige Ultimate) and #21 (Vibrant Brown). So far I'm loving these, I'll post more about these soon. =)

So that's it. I will be posting reviews/swatches soon. Thanks for reading! =)
