You're favorite boy band just released their makeup line for all their lovers! You read it right! One Direction has their own makeup line! Hurrah! They offer three box sets, namely "Midnight Memories", "Take Me Home" and "Up all Night". And through Brandbacker and Markwins, I was sent the box set most suitable for everyday/school/work use!
So yesterday, my dad & I went out to eat some Pho' at a Vietnamese restaurant called Noodle House.
I got myself a Mango flavored Pearl Shake or Bobba. It reminds me of my craze for Zagu during my college days! I swear, everytime I go Pacific Mall Legazpi, I would always get myself one in their largest size. Anyways, so yeah... drinking that brought back memories of that time!
Our main meal was this, ofcourse...
It really is so yummy!
I forgot to ask my dad this is called... but I'm sure it's real Vietnamese Pho'!
Here's the fortune I got from last night's dinner!
"You shouldn't overspend at the moment. Frugality is important."
My past posts have mostly been about hauls... which I do promise to review on in the near future. I guess this was a sign for me to stop with all the "hauling", hahaha.
But right after dinner, my dad said that we go in K-Mart. Nope, it's not like the ever so popular "K-Mart" in Legazpi where you buy some Korean goodies! K-Mart here is a large discount store much like Walmart. We never really shop at K-Mart but it was the closest department store around and I thought I'd take a look at their makeup section as I wait for my dad. Much to my surprise, K-Mart is pretty well-stocked! And unlike most store, the products are "untouched". Some people like to be rude and open packaging of the makeup, creating a mess! Ugggh! Quite annoying, for real! I took a good look at the E.L.F. section and I was in awe... They had most of the Essential Line, quite a number of their Studio Line, and their newest line! I haven't seen suck stocks in any other store and so, I couldn't resist!
My latest haul!
Eye Lips Face Haul.
While the Essential Line costs $1 each and the Studio Line for $3, this line costs $2 a piece!
Sorry to the fortune of my fortune cookie... I didn't come through! I know I said my last haul will be the last, but I failed! But yay for my beloved blog! This is great! But seriously though,Beauty Blogging is one expensive hobby! HAHA.
I'd like to share my face stuff I've been sporting for most of this month!

I'm actually out of blush from my ELF blush & bronzer duo so I went with the single ELF blush in Glow... And I have said that its more like a highlighter but on my cheeks it has a slight orange-peach color, as well. I feel like I'm summer-ready when I paired the blush with my orange lippie from IN2IT.
And my eyes! This was one of my first circle lens and it is quite huge. The XCK-105 is categorized under the Super Size Lens of GEO and has a diameter of whopping 14.8mm! Truthfully, this plain black circle lens is not a good choice for those who are new to circle lenses... in my collection of lenses, its my best bet when I want to look like an alien. I need the right makeup and when posing for the camera, I have to squint a bit to make me look less freaky. HAHA.
I don't take pictures as much... so I hope a "Face of the Month" will be fine. I'll definitely do FOTDs if I do drastic changes to my usual routine...

BEE: GEO Super Nudey Brown XCH-624.
My sisters aren't big fans of the SUPER size lenses which I love to wear. The normal ones are 14mm in diameter while the SUPER sizes are 14.8mm diameter. They do open up the eyes but at the same time "eats" up the Sclera (whites of the eyes). I have to admit that they look weird (alien-like) if worn without any eye makeup on... Eyeliner is a definite must-use when using these big lenses!
By the way, I think GEO lenses are super comfortable! I've used a doctor prescribed brand before but I'd always get eye problems... Like when I accidentally fall asleep [at school!] and then I'd wake up to red/pink eyeballs and etc. I've never had such problems with GEO! The Super lenses do feel like there is a difference with the normal ones, but not to the point of discomfort.
NYX Jumbo Pencils: Electric Blue, Rocky Mountain Green, Milk, Purple Velvet, Black Bean, Pure Gold, and Pots & Pans.
Again these are from the Cherry Culture Haul post... YAY! :D
What it does:
A radiant eye liner that also doubles as an eye shadow. Made with a
blend of mineral oil and powder, our creamy Jumbo Eye Pencils glide on
effortlessly—no pulling, tugging or fading—and come in a rainbow of
vivid hues. Some call her chubby. We say voluptuous. Available in 28
shades.
My sister & I hauled quite a bit the past weeks... I'm so into blogging right now thus the desire to haul! Anyways, I thought I'd share with you all what we picked up and this could give you an idea what's coming up here in my little blog.
My older sister received a debit card for passing the NCLEX from one of my dad's co-workers in our latest party... She thoughtfully decided to spend the money on NYX items from cherryculture.com for our own use and my blog! And what was really sweet of her to do was that she ordered everything to suit an NC43, like me! Awwwww! How nice of her, right? She's an NC35, by the way.
NYX JUMBO PENCILS
NYX LIPSTICKS
NYX BLUSHES
I promise to get all these swatched, so all you tan (NC43) ladies can check out if these would really suit you.
-----------------------------------
So, my sisters and I went to the mall one day and went in our local Sephora... I dropped almost 1/3 of my birthday money from my parents in purchasing the folowing... And yes, this is my first Sephora haul!
Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion in Original.
I picked this up because I felt like my Dollface eyeshadows need more staying power. I have the 88 palletes, so you can imagine how small the pots of eyeshadows are! I would like one one pat of the eyeshadow and get the color I see on the pot itself.
Amazing Cosmetics' Amazing Concealer in Tan Golden (with freebie Anti-Aging Face Primer).
Since I'm breaking out really bad at the moment and no skincare product is helping me out, my sisters prodded me to get a good concealer. So I asked the sales lady for her recommendations and I landed with this. Actually, she also mentioned the concealer from Smashbox because she said its quite popular as well. But we didn't have time to check it out, so I stuck to this.
Evian Natural Mineral Water Facial Spray (2 To Go)
I've been meaning to get a facial mist, one from MAC or what not, due to some of the patchiness on my face. And it just so happens that this was sitting right at the counter! I used this before and its pretty awesome! The atomizer spritzes really fine water particles which makes it essential for a good facial mist and a non-cakey makeup look.
I actually still have a drugstore haul to share with you all, so stay tuned for that!
I guess you can really same I am really pumped up to get this blog going for all of my lovely readers...
