HUGE CLOTHING HAUL!







Hey guys! I'm back again for another haul. I have some awesome and great finds to share with you that you guys
might find interesting TO HAVE OR NOT TO HAVE.

        DISCLAIMER: "Haul is not about bragging what you have. It is more of
                     sharing awesome deals from what you've bought or maybe
                     sharing what is in trend these days, what the viewers
                     might find useful or something interesting that they might want to look
                     in the market. I actually like reading or watching haul videos
                     or blogs, if you are not on things like that then you might
                     want to CLOSE this page if not then go ahead and feel free to continue reading.

                     Thank you and enjoy reading. :)


Okay! Since everything is already clear let's proceed now unto the haul thingy. Shall we?

These are actually being purchased by my own money, companies or brands that are being mentioned here in my post did not pay me or anything to blog about their stuff. I went gaga shopping last month and it came out that I had a lot of clothes clutter in my basket. I have this kind of basket that I usually use for my newly bought clothes just to separate them first to my old ones before washing them out. So I figure out why not try to post a clothing haul? I bought some of these stuff last month, others are weeks ago and some are last week Friday  Yep I really went gaga shopping. Seems that I shop almost every week and I'm actually really happy finding great stuff on great deals. 

Anyways, I was in need for a good pair of peep toe heels and a very nice skinny pants. I bought great pair of pants but I wasn't able to buy heels for me, I actually found one at SM store, the brand is PARISIAN, It looks very sophisticated very chic and classy pumps but sadly it doesn't have the size for me. :( It was only for  799.00php or $18.6



I'm not really comfortable to wear super mega high heeled shoes, yea they look sexy and very chic but I'm not comfortable wearing them. So I think these pumps looks just great to me esp when worn with jeans cause I like to pair pumps with jeans plus semi formal coat = CLASSY look. If you can picture what I mean.  But sad to say these awesome pumps doesn't have any size for me, what I'm wearing is pretty small for me.

So, now I'm going to show you the stuff the I got from Mossimo, Cotton On, Forever21 and other great stuff. Mossimo and Forever21 was on sale, Cotton on has regular deals in their stores like Buy 2 for 800 or Buy 1 get 1 half of the price, etc. 

MOSSIMO











So these are the stuff that I got from Mossimo. I got all of them on sale. Pretty happy with the awesome deal tho!

My July Favorites! (Make-up Products)




Hey guys! So this post is mainly about my most used makeup products for the month of July. Basically these products are the ones that I use on a daily basis for the month.  I think I should do this kind of post every end
of the month just to give you "Monthly favorites" updates. What do you think? I got this idea from makeupbytiffanyD who is one of my favorite beauty blogger and Youtube guru. I think it's quite helpful and fun to make monthly favorites post cause it is actually like giving a little review for each product mentioned. I don't
know about you but I find that a little helpful which product might be useful to me and which product is good from the drugstore that you might wanna check out.

So let's move on to my July favorites! Brace yourself for a very long post!




1.) L'oreal True Match Lumi foundation

        I already made a review about this foundation. If you haven't seen it yet CLICK HEREI use this almost everyday. I love the "dewy finish" of this foundation that makes your skin glow. Light to medium coverage and it's very light weight! It feels like you're not wearing any foundation at all! 





2.) Maybeline Instant Age Rewind Dark Circle Eraser

        The most promising under-eye concealer from the drugstore! It doesn't cake. Does not creases. Hides my black under-eye circles perfectly! Totally love it and as you can see I am almost done with this tube and I have to replace it. Not available in the Philippine drugstores but you can check online stores for this product.





3.) L'oreal Voluminous Original Mascara
       
       I love the Voluminous full definition but this one has the same brush so it has the same result. I found out that this original version has a very "watery" consistency that it tends to transfer to your lids when you apply it. But after few minutes when it dries up it is actually good. I actually love this after months of using it. When the tube is a bit dryer it actually become better. Sometimes I let my mascara tube open for couple of minutes to let them dry up a little because I really don't like wet consistency of mascara they tend to flake up or have that spidery effect. But over all I love using this mascara makes my eyes more awake and very lengthening and voluminous.





4.) Benefit Hoola Bronzer
        

          No words needed. Kiddin! This powder bronzer is my forever favorite. I love the fact that it is matte and looks very natural on my skin. I use it for contouring my cheeks, temples, hair line, nose, and jaw line. I sometime use this as a transition color for my eyeshadow. Love love love this!






5.) EOS Lipbalm in Strawberry Sorbet


        I personally love flavored lip-balms. Aside from they smell great, they are very moisturizing to our lips. My favorite brands are Burt's Bees and Carmex. Those two has been my best buddy since high school. But when I met EOS and it booms in the market with all the rants and raves about it, I said I just had to get it. I first had the
summer fruit and I fell in-love from the smell to the packaging to how it works amazing on my lips. For now, I am really loving my EOS strawberry sorbet, smells so sweeeettttt!! I use it before applying any lipstick and before going to bed at night to hydrate my lips.









6.) Maybeline Color Sensational Lipstick in Coral Carnation

        I am so sorry for the gross picture for the Coral Carnation shade but you see it has been totally loved and abused. Lol! I keep on using this because I love how orange-y it is! I love orange-y/ coral tone lipsticks. It compliments my skin tone and really good for day light makeup.
        I am totally obsessed with Maybeline Color Sensational Lipsticks. These three colors are my faves! I actually have new one's which I will show them to you guys on my next post. I have a huge make-up haul stay tuned for that.





7.) Mac Lipstick in Shy Girl

        I love nude colors and this shade from MAC is my most favorite of all. I also love the Myth but Shy girl is more of orange-y beige tone (if that makes any sense.) Myth is more on pink tone which looks very pale while shy girl looks neutral. I use this for day light makeup or heavy/ smokey makeup. I love how it works on different
makeup because of it's versatile color that compliments either light or heavy makeup. It is in cremesheen formula  very creamy that it tends to melt down (see the photo) when it is getting hotter. (down side) But I still love it! Almost done with the tube since I got this on summer I think 3 months ago and I keep on using it.






8.) Benefit Hervana Blush

        Who doesn't love this? from the packaging - to it's smell - to it's matte finish - to it's lasting power. I love this to bits! I already made a review about this blush if you haven't read it yet then CLICK HERE.






9.) Flormar Full Coverage Concealer in 02

        I have tried tons and tons of concealers for my blemishes and acne scars. It's really hard to find a good one from the drugstore and surprisingly this baby right here works on me! For the price of 299.00php or $7 this full coverage concealer is the bomb! Not over rating it but it's just that ~ it works amazing on me. I am actually happy that I have drugstore alternative for my Mac studio finish concealer and my cinema secrets concealer. Love this concealer so much! From medium to heavy coverage - blendable - packaging looks very professional - and very affordable price! Results may still vary.





10.) Wet n' Wild Vanity Palette and Maybeline Eye studio trio cream shadow in Pedal to the Metal

        These two palettes are the most-used palette for the month of July. I love the Wet n' Wild eyeshadows. I actually got a lot of eyeshadow palette from them and I absolutely adore each of them. But my most favorite palette is the Vanity which has 6 neutral shades of browns and creams or vanilla colors. I love how pigmented the
eyeshadows and the price is way affordable compare to other brands. For the Maybeline Eye Studio Cream Shadow- these three shades I use them as an eyeshadow base for my Wet n' Wild Palette. This eyestudio cream shadows actually tends to crease for oily lids because it's not actually "thick formula" like a concealer
or like MAC PAINT POTS eyeshadow cream/base. So I use eyeshadow primer for this. Very well pigmented and I love the colors!


So those are my July favorites! How about you? Let me see your monthly faves and comment the link down below. Have a wonderful day loves! Xx
