Shopaholic strikes back!

The second quarter of the year is about to end. I will end it again with big smile on my face after all my birthday month is in this quarter. Here's my major haul, that I will claim my gifts for my birthday...

Im not a shoe person, whether their cheap or ubber expensive, I buy them so long as I like them. That's one reason too why I dont post shoe hauls (as well as dresses). This one caught my attention. I find them really nice, that is worth sharing. From the Trunk show..

Love the red lining, very Louboutin like,..

Louis Vuitton Neverfull Azur.. I've sleepless nights coz of this (I've nice problems huh!). My mind was in chaos thinking which one to get, the ebene or the azur. Azur won coz I have speedy in ebene already, but i still swear to get the ebene, next year perhaps!


Coach suddenly struck me, same as with Juicy Couture. But I decided to get coach first. This is a nice top handle bag that can be converted to hobo...

that is when you detach the ring on the side..

when the strap is attached



I know I gave up my lemmings for Liz claiborne and nine west bags, but this one sure did caught yet again my attention.. a hand held bag that can be carried as shoulder bag too


Amazingly Liz Claiborne's style has evolved from black basic/classic office essential bags, which shouts boring to some, to a colorful more stylish designs that can now cater the young hippie genre.

Another bag that gave me headache... a Longchamp, I dont like the basic solid colors, I went for this design.. A little expensive than the plain ones but is totally worth it. I find it stunning in person,..

The skinfood... got two make-up remover, one toner and one face serum,, review to follow..

Hopefully this closes my 2nd quarter haul,. Though Im eyeing one in Fino,.. sobb...

We all have trying times, but looking at all these blessings, that I can afford a little luxury make my life better.. Look at the brighter side after all!..

Till here, tata for now!..

Skinfood Cappuccino Mousse foam

At first I was hesitant to try this coz Im not a a fan of coffee.. I don’t drink coffee or eat anything that’s coffee flavored. But it’s freebie anyweys.

So when I squeezed out some to my palm it more smelled like mocha frap.. I enjoyed its creamy smell. Upon lathering it to my face I can feel the big coffee beans (or should I say husk) rubbing onto my skin but its not abrasive, I don’t think it is exfoliating since the beads were a little big and it wasn’t a fair amount to exfoliate. It didn’t give me bumps or red allergy spots like Ponds cleanser do.. I see this as an ordinary cleanser. After rinsing my face didn’t felt tight. Over all I enjoyed the creamy smell and creamy lather,. Really looks and smell like frap..


Rate: 4/5

Im not buying one though.. There’s nothing special about this but the smell… Good for coffee lovers…

Grapeseed Oil Dual Body Oil

Claim:

A two-layer water based body oil with nutrient-rich grapeseed oil to soothe and moisturize dry skin.

To use, shake well and massage on entire body while damp.

Verdict:

Really non-sticky. Perfect for humid days or summer when I feel the need to apply SPF lotion (this usually gives me a very sticky and hot feeling, imagine body oil + spf lotion). I tend to put much though coz its simply absorbed by my skin. Leaves my skin soft and hydrated minus the oil film. The scemt is refreshing and subtle grape. I hate the cap though, I’ve always hate the push and turn thingy (like that of the medicine caps) You’re suppose to push-turn and turn/twist further to open it. I broke mine and left with the inner cap so ill simply have to turn/twist the cap. Price as usual of high P850++ , if I remember it right, one thing im sure of amongst body oil I’ve used this is by far the most expensive. If price is not an issue for you this is worth a shot..

Rating: 4/5 (coz of the price, otherwise its 5/5)

Will buy again? Every summer I guess, coz I sweat profusely (than others) this will be a great aid for me to feel refreshed.

Lettuce & Cucumber Water Essence Mask Sheet

Lettuce & Cucumber Water Essence Mask Sheet

Claim:

Verdict:

Leaves a richer texture than the water drop essence. When I used this mask I just put it right on to my face,. When I pulled it off I was horrified to see embossed line on my entire face. When I checked the mask it has a flat surface and a a criss-cross surface. The package didn’t mentioned it. I’ve used other masks and both surface was flat. There’s this one that’s similar to it, having smooth and rough surface but it did mention on the direction to look for the flat one.. So better check the mask always to be safe. My skin did went back to normal look by morning.

The price again is steep P280 per sheet,. It’s worth a try but not as impressive as other masks though. I think I should have heeded on other variant since I do think this lettuce-cucumber line is for normal skin range. For teenagers I’ll say..

Rate: 3/5

Lettuce Cucumber Water Drop Essence & Mushroom Double Care Cream

Got these freebies from The Skinfood

Lettuce Cucumber Water Drop Essence

Claim:

Use: After toner, apply essence gently and cover face with hands, for deep absorption.

Verdict:

Very light on skin. Once absorbed you’ll feel nothing, as if I didn’t put anything on my face . Ideal for normal-oily skin,. Not for me though since I need heavier moisture,. Well I guess I can pull this off on summer days where I’d be staying outdoors mostly. This is a good base though for heavy sunblock and make-up..

Rate: 3/5

Mushroom Double Care Cream

Claim:

Enriched with mushroom extracts, anti-aging retinol, and arbutin to lighten skin tone, this dual-function cream improves the appearance of wrinkles while brightening skin tone.

Use: After lotion, apply cream and rub gently with palms in upward motion to absorb.

Verdict:

The cream’s texture is heavier than the lettuce-cucumber water drop essence.. ideal for normal to dry skin,. The product is easily absorbed by the skin and leaves a velvety smooth feeling. I like this better than the lettuce-cucumber water drop essence. The product looks promising since it claims to be an all-in product you’ll need,. Moisturizer, anti-aging and whitening cream. The price though is steep for me, if I remember it right price tag is almost P3K.. Well, cheaper compared to high-end prods I’ve tried but then I think I won’t shed off that amount on a brand that hasn’t proven itself yet in the market,.
