What I Got on My Birthday: The 2015 Edition


     I know my birthday was exactly a month ago and I'm sharing these only now! Sorry! Well, I'm not really here to brag... but I'm just so excited to receive these! My dad got my own tablet! Yay! It's the Samsung Tab 4, not as fancy as an iPad, but pretty good. I will review this for my Tech Tuesday tomorrow or another Tuesday. And I picked up my freebie from Sephora, which turned out to be better than the last two years. I can finally own something from Nars, hurrah! We spent my birthday at J-Pop Summit 2015, so the experience itself was a gift... especially because we stayed at Omni San Franciso. My younger sis and I paid for it, so my parents can enjoy being dragged out by their two kids to join another one of those dork conventions we love to go to, haha. I'm happy to cross the tablet off my wishlist. Which remind me that I'll need to organize a page post on my wishlist, so you & I know what I've already crossed out of it. 


Honestly, I've been having a rough time... But, it's a good life, isn't it? Let's all stay happy!

Disregarding the Fortune Cookie...

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 will definitely blog about these later!

Thanks for reading!

Urban Decay's Super Saturated High Gloss Lip Color

Urban Decay's Super Saturated High Gloss Lip Color in PUNCH DRUNK.

Hey guys!  So here's the review of the 2nd gift I received from my sistarrs....

What it is:
Urban Decay's creamiest, most sumptuously pigmented lip pencil.
What it does:
This formula delivers all the opaque, saturated, high-impact color of your favorite lipstick and an arresting high-gloss finish in one chubby pencil. And with a dynamic bright to deep shade range in creamy and sparkly textures, the runway-ready possibilities are endless. Even the glittery hues in this collection of high-gloss lip pencils feel smooth on your lips (and leave not a trace of sparkle grit). This conveniently portable pencil's high-gloss shine can be blotted for a more stain-like effect, but no matter how you wear it, the color lasts. Free of mineral oil and paraffin, this formula contains plant-derived ingredients that nourish lips. Because the barrels and boxes are color-matched to each shade, locating the color you want is easy, even in the deep, dark depths of an oversize tote. 

Size: 0.32 oz
Price: $18

 Description taken from here.

Urban Decay's Super Saturated High Gloss Lip Color in PUNCH DRUNK.

 What I like:
  • Extremely pigmented! One swipe and you get what you need.
  • Glides on so smoothly. 
  • Moisturizing. Does not accentuate dry patches on the lips.
  • Lasts pretty well when I'm not clumsy. LOL.
  • It's a fat lip pencil.

What I don't like:
  • Price. 
  • Will smear off instantly if you apply too much lip balm or jelly prior to this.

PUNCH DRUNK.
  
     The color Punch Drunk is such a shocking orange color! I love it! I was obsessing over finding a great orange lipstick when I was in the Philippines and I thought I have found it...until I received this wonderful present! If you're not a fan of the shocking factor of the color, I suggest you apply a little bit on your lips and smooth it out all over, for a more subtle look.

     So is it worth the price? Well, I'm actually not too sure about that. Yes, it is a great product but if there was a more affordable alternative that will provide the same quality... why not??! Would I repurchase this? Luckily this was a present! But if I had the resources and have all my essentials met (foundation & tools), I would probably get the color Big Bang!!!
