Mini Accessories Haul!

Hey guys!

I tweeted a while ago that I was at SM Megamall in search for new beauty products to try out. Well, much to my surprise, nothing caught my fancy. But I was also at Megamall to purchase a new bag for work. You see, I have this bag that I have been using for almost a year already and it looks so old. I got it at Divisoria, so no surprise that it didn't last a long time.

So, I searched the department store for a good bag when I saw that they had really good deals going on! I ended up buying 3 bags, but the total cost of these bags is only equivalent to 1 bag!

Satchels are in nowadays and I have always wanted to get one but never got around to buying one. Until now! I love this blue-green satchel from Parisian! It is simple yet chic!

This bag was on sale for buy 1 get 1 of the same value! This is also from Parisian and I thought that this would be perfect for work. It has a big space that would fit all of my necessities.

And this is the other bag that was part of the buy 1 get 1 deal! I just fell in love with this. It has that edgy look to it that would spice up any outfit!

I also went to Forever 21 in search for some earrings. I always lose my earrings. I don't know why. I have a habit of taking them of in my bathroom before taking a bath and maybe they fall into the drain. Haha.

I found this gorgeous set of earrings for only Php 175! 

I also got two sets of really gorgeous rings!

Set 1

Can you tell that this is composed of 3 individual rings? It's gorgeous right? I love this! 

This is how each individual ring looks:

This one looks like an engagement ring with the pink diamond-looking stone on top!

Set 2

This on is composed of 2 rings.

This is how each individual ring looks:

This one looks very much like a wedding band! Haha.

I hope you guys liked my haul!

Disclaimer: I am not posting this to brag about what I bought. I just thought some of my readers enjoy reading haul posts!

Till my next blog post!

My E.L.F. Eyeshadow Quad Collection

Hey guys!

I am obsessed with eyeshadow. Ever since I started to get interested with makeup, I also started collecting eyeshadow. Modesty aside, I have quite a lot now which are from different brands. When I was getting started with makeup, my go-to brand was E.L.F. or Eyes Lips Face. Not only is the brand affordable but its quality is great as well. Since I love the brand so much, it's no wonder that I have collected a number of their famous eyeshadow quads. 

I now currently have 5 quads which I have collected over a period of one year.

Let me give you guys a rundown of each quad (complete with swatches) and on which occasion I usually use them.

Butternut

Butternut is my go-to palette for a day look at the office. The warm neutral colors are perfect when you want to achieve a great look but still looking professional at the same time. I also use this quad when I want to achieve a "no makeup" look. I would say that this is my favorite in my collection.

Nouveau Naturals

This quad also has neutrals which are perfect for a daytime look. I use this interchangeably with Butternut.

Pretty N' Pink

This quad screams girly, don't you think? And this reminds me of prom!!! I think these colors are very wearable during the day. This would be great to use if you are attending a soiree or any girly event.

Silver Lining

If color is what you are looking for, Silver Lining is the best quad for you! If blended really well, you can achieve a gorgeous smokey look with these colors or you can tone it down for a subtle daytime look. This would also be perfect for a night out with your besties!

Drama

Who doesn't love a smokey eye? This quad is perfect for smokey eyes! I just love this quad because the colors blend well together to achieve a great smokey look. 

I definitely recommend these quads to anyone who is just starting with makeup. The color payoff and pigmentation of the eyeshadows is really good. Plus, they are very affordable at only Php 129.75 each!

You can buy these quads at any SM Department Stores.

You may also check out E.L.F's Facebook Fan Page or follow them on Twitter!

I am hoping to do looks with these quads soon since I am also hoping to get a better camera soon!

Till my next blog post!
