Haulage ~ Kering Keri Store Goodies!

It's only been about a week into September and I'm already back with my second haul for this month! *LOL* Anyway, this particular haul is from an online shop called KERING KERI STORE. She had a sale a couple of days ago and I grabbed the opportunity to get some stuff that were up to 70% off their actual retail price! What a steal, right?! So anyway, let's get started...

My items were wrapped up carefully in tons of bubble wrap to keep my fragile babies safe and sound. I like it when online shops invest on bubble wrap. I think it gives off a message that they care about how their items arrive at their buyer's doorstep.

Another thing I liked about the store is this little "receipt" they included in my package. It'll be of help to me when I start doing reviews about the items. I can at least inform my readers how much I paid for my stuff...

Moving on, here are the little goodies that I purchased...

The Tony Moly tint in trial size cost me P75. This wasn't the sale price and I was expecting it to be tiny but this really was quite a shocker! *lol* I'll be doing a review on it soon. The reason I got this instead of a full sized one is because I'm not a big fan of tints so I decided to give this a test drive before committing myself to the full sized product.

This is the  MeMeMe Beat The Blues in Sunbeam. This cost me only P340 instead of the usual P400-P450 at other shops. I'm really excited to try this out because this happens to be my first ever liquid highlighter/illuminator. I hope this works out for me. I know it looks "pinkish" in the photo but in real life this leans towards a golden shade. I'll make up for the bad photo in my review of this product.

POP Beauty Ribbon Gloss in Naked Ribbons. This is made up of 5 lovely strips of lip-shine/lip gloss like product. I've never seen this before and was intrigued by it. So this is sort of a hit-or-miss product. I paid P130 for it.

Oh my gosh. I can't even begin to tell you guys how long I've been lemming for this product. It's the Miners Tin o Tint in Watermelon. This usually retails for P250-P280 but I snagged this at only P 150! Definitely a steal in my opinion.

This L.A. Colors 6 Color Eyeshadow Palette in Dreamy cost me only P85! I was blown away. Now I must admit that I've never used L.A. Colors products before so I'm really hoping this palette works for me since I am so in love with the colors! I'm planning to make use of this palette in my P500 makeup challenge so watch out for that.

Another L.A. Colors item is this Eyeshadow Trio & Eyeliner Pencil in Rose. I've really been into browns, plums and nudes for the longest time. This beauty cost me P99 only.

The last product I got from Kering Keri Store is this Maybelline Colorsensational Lipstick in 535 Park Ave. Peach which cost me P230. This is a very lovely everyday color that may just be my next "my lips but better" shade! *winks*

So there you guys have it. My second haul for this month!

Catch you guys on my next post and don't forget to join my ongoing giveaway.

5 Summer Makeup Must Haves

Long time no post, right? I've been stuck in a rut on what to write. I've been experiencing a load of sh*tty stuff the past few days and really wanted to rant about it but in the end decided to hold back. I'd hate to bring negativity into my blog so I put off writing anything till I felt a little better. Now I'm coming back with a list of my 5 summer makeup must haves. Bear in mind that I didn't include skin care products in this list but it doesn't mean you don't need 'em. Since it's summer, remember to load up on products with loads of SPF to give your skin some SAFE sun lovin'!

Now going onto my list...

1. Face Powder

Maybelline New York Clear Smooth All in One Shine Free Cake Powder - 02 Nude Beige

What more can I ask for? It has decent coverage and is very buildable. It applies smoothly and has no nasty smell. It's non comedogenic and it has UV protection. Plus it's pocket friendly at only P240-P250 depending where you get it. It has an even more pocket friendly "refill" version that still comes in a cute baby pink packaging!

2. Waterproof Mascara

Maybelline New York Volum' Express Hyper Curl Mascara Waterproof - Black

This is my current waterproof mascara and I totally love it. Since I don't use a lot of eyeshadows during the summer, I want to have full and curled lashes to help my peepers stand out so I had to keep these in mind when I was scouting around for a new mascara. Luckily I stumbled upon the hyper curl one that does the job perfectly plus it's waterproof!

3. Lip Balm

EOS Summer Fruit & Lemon Drop (with SPF)

I'm currently loving the EOS lip balms. Mainly because of their uber cute packaging! *LOL* I have the Summer Fruit and Lemon Drop variants. I prefer the Lemon Drop one because it has SPF and because of its cute size, I take it everywhere with me and it doesn't even take up space in my bag/kit.

4. Cream Blush

NYX Cream Blush in Glow

I find that cream blushes last way longer than powder blushes and since it's very humid in the Philippines and I tend to sweat a lot, investing on a nice cream blush is the way to go. I'm currently loving Nyx's cream blush in the shade GLOW which leaves a beautiful "glowing" pink-red flush on your cheeks that stays put on my skin for up to 6 hours. Take note I now have oily type skin.

5. Matte Lip Creams

NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Addis Ababa

Bright and bold lip colors are definitely "IN" this summer and I'm joining the bandwagon of bright lipped girls with my ultimate fave, the Nyx soft matte lip cream in the shade Addis Ababa. I find that it's a bright hot pink with a slightly bluish undertone that compliments my skin tone a lot. It instantly brightens up my face with an explosion of color but what I love the most about this matte lip cream is that it isn't drying and the staying power is great! Taking into consideration that I eat, drink and talk a lot these days, the Nyx soft matte lip cream lasts up to 4 hours on my lips!

So there you have it guys. My 5 summer makeup must haves.

How about you? What are your summer makeup must haves?
