Beauty Products Shopping List For July

because my memory is slowly betraying me.. and my planner is full of numbers and I don’t want this list to be a part of those number, I am posting this here to remind me.

I need to buy these beauty products ASAP!

Olay Regenerist Revitalising Eye Serum (PHP 1,099.00 from Zalora)

Because I am trying (and loving!) Olay Regenerist Miracle Duo (Miracle Boost Youthe Pre-Essence and Micro-scultping cream moisturizer), I feel the need to complete the Regenrist regiment with this eye serum.. and the bags under my eyes are not Prada anymore LOL

I am running out of eyeliner and I am going crazy!! So an eyeliner is a must must must buy!

It’s really long lasting.. and it doesn’t smudge.. no more Panda eyes! hurray! The thing is, my acidic eyelids dissolves some of the liners.. ang panget when my eyes are closed 🙁 but I do love this product because of the no smudge promise. I also K-Palette’s Mascara, it’s the only mascara that my acidic face loves!

Suggestion from friends includes: Heroine Make Liquid, Inglot, Benefits and Snoe eyeliner..

Another Kikay emergency, eyebrow essentials! I bought some K-Palette eyebrow products, though I really love the eyebrow mascara, I am not much fan of their real lasting eyebrow. I recently bought an Etude House drawing eyebrow pencil, it’s cheap kasooo ang dali mabali ng pencil.. but it’s the easiest eyebrow pencil ever.. so I might repurchase. But right now, I am planning to buy this one:

Obviously, I love K-Palette products but I am open to try other products. Beauty Bar is my to go to beauty store, ang daming choices eh!

From eyes, let’s go to lips.. Stylebible said they found the perfect shade of red for morenas! And I soo want to try! Red doesn’t me eh.. pero L’Oreal’s Color Riche Star Matte Reds is affordable eh, I am tempted to buy 3 shades! Any suggestion? Definitely Pure Garnet is on the list.

Another lip product that I am planning to buy (well, it’s been a while since my last lipstick purchase no)

Preview X Happy Skin Shut Up & Kiss Me Moisturizing Matte Lippie..because it’s Matte and it’s moisturizing!

I am actually if I should go with Happy Skin or L’Oreal. What do you think?

While doing this blog post, I asked a few mommy blogger friends what are their beauty products must buy this month, si Rikka lang ang may shopping list (so far! still waiting for others, will update tomorrow)

Rikka’s Beauty products shopping list:

Cure
Tony Moly Toner
Maybelline Matte Lipstick
Happy Skin Lippie
Maybelline Shine Free Compact
Elf Brow Gel

Cure is my HG in skin exfoliation! It really cures! It’s a natural aqua gel that gently removes dry and dead skin, works for oily skin too!

Si Madame Levy wants to buy Olay Facial Wash but she was not specific kung anong facial wash, I am still trying to convince her to buy Cure.

How about you? What’s your Beauty products shopping list this month? Dali, tell me and tell me why 🙂

Dear Manong Taxi… (On Attending Events Without Payment)

Gusto ko sana sabihin kay Manong.. may bayad mo pa yan.. FRIENDSHIP

But I don’t think he’ll ever understand how I love attending events without thinking about the monetary value that I would get (not unless from the start, it is stated as a paid coverage). When I was just starting.. nakaka excite to receive goodies, to the point that I value it more than the event na itself. I judge an event based on the loots I got.. Pero as I grow older as a blogger, I have learned to value relationship over loot bags.

Truth of the matter is, when I attend an event, I spend around 2000 PhP. That’s for taxi fare, pasalubong and my mom’s fare din since lumuluwas siya to look after my kids. Ang mahal mag events di ba? But I do it for fun talaga and for friendship.. to meet friends, to be with friends or to support friends from the agency.

So yes, as you can see, ma friendship akong tao, related story: 3 Reasons Why I Post Press Releases For FREE

Pero I don’t advocate attending events for free ha, always know your worth as a blogger. Dapat lagi kang may gain. Ako kase, I may not gain financially from attending events but I gained relationships and minsan content na rin. And yeah, there is something about getting the first dibs on products you love. And oh! Endless chikas with fellow mommy bloggers! Ang saya di ba?

Black School Shoes (and more shoes) From Liliw, Laguna

Not our first time in Liliw and definitely not our last! Babalik- balikan namin ang Liliw! This side of Luzon is very promising! We’re North people and we seldom explore South, hanggang Tagaytay lang kame. Or sometimes, UPLB and one time, umabot kame ng Pakil to buy Santa Claus paper mache. This time, I am thinking of spending a weekend in Laguna. Explore Nagcarlan underground cemetery, Liliw’s natural spring, maybe even visit Costales farm and buy longganisa at Lucban and even include a hike at Kamay ni Hesus..ang dami daming pwedeng gawin! Not to mention the churches on this side of Luzon is stunning!

This is the church at Liliw, Laguna. We only discovered this during our 2nd visit. Nasa kabilang street ito, this is where most people park their cars. From the side of the church (left side if facing the church), you can exit and this is where the shoes shopping adventure begins!

Our favorite store (so far!) is Badong:

It’s the only shop in Liliw that sells black school shoes and other closed shoes e.

Here are some of the shoes on display during our first visit last year:

The shoes here are sooooo cheap! These are all under 500 PhP!

Coolness di ba? Imagine 6 pairs of school black shoes + 1 leather shoes for my mother + tsinelas for husband + sandals for MIL + sandals for my ate + mary jane for me + black boots for Sati= 12 pairs of footwear = 5500 PhP

5 pairs of that black shoes for the boys.. pare parehas na para hindi mahirap mamili haha 1 black shoes for Sati. It’s less than 500 lang eh.. 450 each if I am not mistaken.
