- I started my internship.
- Linsanity took the world by storm.
- I started school.
Hehe, had to mention Linsanity. xD Besides that, the other two things on my list have kept me a bit busy. But I'm now working blogging back into my schedule! Both this one and my reading blog (another reason I've been busier is I've been reading more! ^^) I have quite a bit to blog about, so I should have several blog posts ready to go in the next couple weeks. No more long gaps without any word! :]
So onto the real reason for this post! My haul from my vacation a month ago (a month already?!)...
First up, face masks! Pretty much all I wanted to buy in Hong Kong. And is is all I ended up buying there, too. Well, except for souvenirs...
I bought 3 packs of face masks and 1 pack of eye masks. The one with the orange packaging is the My Scheming Crystal Q10 Elastin Eye Mask ($45 HKD). Please excuse the state of the packaging; my dog got to it before I could take a picture, lol. Next to it, in the green, is a pack of My Beauty Diary Apple Polyphenol Mask ($58 HKD). The bottom two are both from My Scheming ($49 HKD each). The purple one is Grape Seed Instant Brightening Mask, and the blue one is Milk Extract Brightening Mask. I haven't tried any of them yet, but am excited to try them all!
I tried to do a bit of researching before buying, so I knew which ones I wanted. At least, I did for the My Beauty Diary Mask. I found a review that said it pretty much doesn't matter which mask you get, as they all kind of do the same thing, and so to just get one with a scent you like. And ta-da...Apple! I love apple scents, so this will probably be perfect for me. :) The other masks had descriptions in English on them, so they were easier to choose without online help, haha.
I've heard about Asian drugstore BB Cream for a while, and had planned to buy one for myself during this trip. I first saw Maybelline BB Cream in HK at a grocery store, and then again at Watsons, but didn't purchase because I didn't have any more room in my luggage. :x But then, I saw it at Watsons in the Philippines! I was so happy and bought it right away, in the lightest shade (for 249 PHP). The packaging is different from the one in HK, though. I will have to pick up one from HK next time I get the chance to go, to see if it's any different in formula. ^^

my favorite pair are the red ones in the bottom right
When I go to the Philippines, I always make a point of stopping at a place called 168 mall. It's basically an indoor flea market, and I go mostly to buy accessories. This trip, I ended up with a lot of earrings, some bracelets, and 1 ring. Usually, I'd have necklaces too, but none of them caught my eye this time.
My cousin picked these out for herself, and when I saw them, I had to have them too! I think she only got the colorful pair, but I couldn't choose, so I bought both. They were only 50 PHP each, I think.
bought cuz I thought they were professional looking ^^
Yep, I went a little crazy with the earrings, haha! But trust me, I could've done so much more damage. There were a lot of other earrings that I really liked, and at 50 PHP each (more or less), totally could have afforded to buy them. But I decided to show some restraint. xD
lots of bangles that actually fit my wrist!
the ring...didn't have a clear picture. :x but this was only 10 PHP! (which is about $0.25 USD)
That's it for now~! Hoping to get back to a more regular posting schedule, now that I'm starting to get the hang of my new schedule with school and everything. ^^
Girl you make me miss the Philippines!! love the earrings & the ring you picked out!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I miss it too! I'm glad I get to go back every now and then. And I love the ring too! So glad I found it! And for so cheap! Had to search through a huge pile of rings to get it, haha. :]
